Re:
You can plug both in. The instructions with the pre-built unit are very thorough and get a bit too techy - temp control theory - heating function - cooling function - dead zones etc. But it easy to set up. Mine is set at 12C with a threshold of 0.5C either side, ie. if it goes above 12.5C the cooling activates, if it goes below 11.5C the heating activates. There is the dead zone which is the time before the cooling or heating comes on, mine is set at 4 mins, this is to prevent it going on/off constantly. As it is fairly warm during the nights I have the heater un-plugged.
It probably turns the freezer on 6 times a day in this fairly warm weather we are having and that is with it in a wooden summerhouse which gets warm with the sun out. Cools down to the required temp in about 5 mins.
