I use one of the so-called "Ceramic" heaters in my FC. You need to get one that has analog controls (knobs, not buttons) so that you can set it on medium or high, and it doesn't reset it's self to "Off" when the power is interrupted by the controller. I don't know if Wally World has them (I haven't looked there), but mom and pop hardware stores are a good source.
North Louisiana is in that same situation right now. Last week it was in the low 30s at night, and this week it's 70'ish days and 50'ish nights. My 2-stage controller is set at Cool: 67F +2 -0, and Heat" 67F -2 + 0. So if the FC reaches 69F the cooling cycle pulls it down to 67F, and if it gets below 65F the heater pulls it up to 67F. That's a four degree F range, but it's the best I can do. Fortunately I don't have any over-run in the heat or cool cycles with the FC, otherwise they would be fighting each other.
