Where can I find a thermostat for temperature regulation

ProfanityURL

Hi,

I am setting up a vivarium and need to maintain the temperature at 20 degrees +/- 1 degree Celsius so I am planning on using a ceramic heat emitter paired up with a thermostat set at 20 degrees to act as a switch to turn off the heater once the vivarium reaches 20 and switch back on when the temperature decreases. I have the heat emitter but cannot find anyone selling a thermostat which is suitable for this function.

Does anyone know somewhere that I can buy something like this, preferably in the limerick area if possible as this is where I am based. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Any pet shop that sells reptiles should be able to sort you out .

Will that type of thermostat work for a ceramic heater with a regular plug for an Irish socket, or how to I plug the heater into the thermostat?

there is a scoket on the stat, you plug the ceramic into the stat and then the stat into the wall.
either a pluse stat or dimmer stat will do for a ceramic
