The cost of the heat strip is normally well over $75 and a portable electric heater you can bring into the room you are located in, it is very quiet, and easy to replace for $20 - $25.

Each heater has a thermostat, and is very compact. DO not buy the huge oil filled ones, or ones with a dome that has a glowing 200F coil on it. Those take to long to cool off before you can put them away. . .
Good luck,
Fred.
