Egg Incubator Thermostats

The IncuKit XL ™ is an all-in-one kit designed to be the heart and brains of a homemade cabinet incubator. It allows you to convert a cabinet-sized enclosure into an incubator! To make your own incubator, you can use anything from an old refrigerator to a custom built cabinet! Simply choose your enclosure and install your IncuKit XL™ unit inside. Pretty cool? Well, actually it's pretty hot and it works very well. The IncuKit XL™ series has been redesigned to provide you with more options and versatility! First, select which style of thermostat is best for you: Basic Thermostat module: This is a standard on/off thermostat. This means that when the temperature hits a certain point, it turns the heater off and then back on full power once the temperature drops below a certain point. It will control the heater. This comes pre-set to 99.5 degrees F. Advanced Thermostat module: This is a proportional thermostat. As the temperature gets closer to the target temperature, it begins tapering off the power to the heater. This provides more precise control and provides lower temperature variation in the incubator. This unit also has a count-down hatch timer and provides the option to control an egg turner motor, if you choose to use one. This comes pre-set to 99.5 degrees F Second, select how many heater and fan modules your container will require: The number of heater and fan modules will be determined by the size of your container, how well it is insulated and the temperature outside the incubator. The IncuKit XL™ can be configured with one or two heater and fan modules, depending on these factors. Each heater and fan module will provide 125 watts of power. For medium size containers this may be all you need. For larger containers, you can add a second module to add an additional 125 watts of power. Do determine which option is best for you, a simple light bulb test will help. Get light bulbs that will generate enough heat to easily warm your incubator to at least 100 degrees F. See how many watts are required and that will help you know which option to select. The buyer is responsible for determining if this will generate enough heat for your enclosure. Caution: this is an AC powered device that you will be mounting in your incubator yourself. You must use a great deal of common sense when dealing with electrical devices. Electricity is wonderful but can be very dangerous. Use caution, common sense and if in doubt, ASK AN EXPERT!!! The IncuKit includes the following: Electronic Pre-Set thermostat designed specifically for incubators by IncubatorWarehouse.com (see details below) Each heater and fan module includes a high-output 120mm AC fan with protective screen, an integrated 125 watt heater with built-in safety thermal switch and mounting plate All mounting hardware Installation and operating instructions Easy to install and set up. All mounting hardware needed is included. And our step-by-step video makes it easy to install. Just mount the heater and fan module, mount the thermostat, connect them together and then plug it in. It's so easy!!   Simple to install! See this instructional video to see how simple it is to install this in your home-made incubator: If you find that your particular incubator needs more air circulation (a common issue in odd-shaped incubators), we offer 92mm and 120mm AC fans.  

The Plug ‘n Play is a digital electronic thermostat with remote sensor designed specifically for incubators. It's great for both tabletop and cabinet incubators. It comes pre-wired and ready to use. You can use any heating element up to 225 Watts. Simply plug in your heater, heat mat, or light bulb to the 3 outlet plug outlet and you’re ready to go. The temperature can be adjusted in 0.1 degree increments. Just press the up or down arrow to set it. The screen has a flame icon that turns on when the heater is operating. This unit comes with a 24 inch remote sensor that can be placed inside your incubator. The white thermostat may be mounted on the outside of the incubator. Comes preset to 99.5 degrees F (37.5 in Celsius mode). Set point can be adjusted to any temperature between 41-113 degrees F If the temperature goes over 99.9, it reads: 00.1, 00.2, 00.3, etc. The digital readout displays temperature to the tenth of a degree (98.7, 99.4) The temperature switching differential is 0.2 degrees F. This means that if the temperature is set to 99.5 then the thermostat will turn the heat on when the thermostat sensor reads below 99.3 and turn off when the sensor reads above 99.7 110V AC Calibration enabled. This means that you can calibrate the thermostat if required. For example, if you have a thermometer that you trust and the digital thermostat reads a little different, you can calibrate the thermostat to match the trusted thermometer (calibrate in 0.1 degree increments up to +/- 5 degrees) Key lock feature allows you to set the temperature and lock the keys so it cannot be changed without unlocking the keys (keys are locked by pressing both up and down buttons for 5 seconds) Note: It is normal for the thermostat to turn the heater off and still have the air temperature increase a little bit. This happens because as the power to the heater turns off, the heater is still hot and will heat the air around it. The same is true when the heater turns back on: the temperature may decrease a little more as the heater gets back up to temperature. The amount this happens will depend on the amount of heat your heating element holds and the amount of circulation in your incubator. Keep in mind that the air temperature may vary without a negative impact to the eggs if the variation is rapid enough to not allow the eggs to heat or cool more than it should. As long as the up and down cycle is relatively small, less than a few minutes, and the average air temperature is at your target temperature, the temperature inside your egg (which is what really matters) will be just fine! This is true with any incubator and egg configuration. As always, all of our products are covered by our 2 Year IncuCare Warranty. Purchase today with no worries and experience the Plug ‘n Play Digital Electronic Thermostat for yourself.

The IncuKit XL™ for reptiles is an all-in-one kit designed to be the heart and brains of a homemade reptile incubator. It allows you to convert a cabinet-sized enclosure into an incubator! To make your own incubator, you can use anything from an old refrigerator to a custom built cabinet! Simply choose your enclosure and install your IncuKit XL™ for reptiles unit inside.  Pretty cool?  Well, actually it's pretty hot and it works very well.   The IncuKit XL™ for reptiles has been redesigned to work specifically in reptile incubators that require lower temps! The IncuKit XL™ for reptiles includes the following: Basic Thermostat module: This is a standard on/off thermostat.  This means that when the temperature hits a certain point, it turns the heater off and then back on full power once the temperature drops below a certain point.  It will control the heater and fan. This comes pre-set to 99.5 degrees F but is fully adjustable to the temperature required for reptile eggs.  1 x 125 Watt Heater/Fan: This heater/fan is great for providing heat to medium to large size reptile incubators. The included wire adapter makes it so the heater and fan turn off once the desired temperature is reached. This helps to minimize the drying out of eggs and overheating the incubator. To determine if the included heater/fan unit will provide enough heat, a simple light bulb test will help.  Get light bulbs that will generate enough heat to easily warm your incubator to at least your desired temperature.
