If the rheostat isn't working, I'd suggest getting one that works or invest in a thermostat.

What is the ambient temp in the room? Your ambient room temp may be too low for the rheostat to compensate for.

Ambient room temp of 80? Sounds a LITTLE high for daytime and WAY too high for nighttime. I keep my room ambient mid/high 70s.
