David's idea of a room-stat is a good one

I'm seriously considering this option now. I'm still experimenting with my
(3rd) Parasene "Frost Shield" heater (another thread) and am quite amazed
at how inaccurate the thermostat is. For test purposes I have it connected
via a meter which records, amongst other things, the total time it's
drawing power. Last night was very warm for December .. 10°C+ and set to
"frost protection" the heater still managed to switch itself on for a total
of nearly an hour ! Over a quarter this would mount up to quite a few ££ on
my electricity bill. I wonder how many people use these heaters without
realizing what it's costing them in wasted power.
