keep it in a temperature controlled room and dial the temps in well in advance of expecting eggs. it isnt a plug and go type incubator it takes time to get it running right. (it takes time to get any incubator dialed in)
what do you mean "without increased heat"
Are you asking if you can incubate at room temps? the answer is no
you need an incubator and if you put enough time into your havobator you can get it to where it will only fluctuate by a degree or so and if you dial it in at 83-84 you will be perfect. I have been using Havo's for a while and never have issues.
I used a regular "bird" incubator for the first few days with my eggs until my real incubator got here. It was crap....temps fluctuated all the time and I'm shocked the eggs even made it. I'm using a Reptibator now and love it. Temps have been stable and it keeps the humidity great too.

If you are going to drop 120+ (including shipping) on a incubator build your own plenty of DIY instructions out there. The reptibator is literally the exact same size and design as a havobator just has a digital thermostat built in. To me that is not worth an extra 70 bux.
