The oil radiator I linked to also has a timer attached. It has 4 wattage settings and a thermostat.
So you start with it on full belt and adjust as necessary be it wattage setting or thermostat, obviously it is trial and error until you find the happy balance. You then have the timer which can turn it off while she's asleep and fire it up before she wakes.
Think about it, once you hit the sweet spot with the settings if it is a hot day the rad thermostat will drop the on/off very low. Yes it will kick in if needed but only to keep the oil at ambient temp so you have a head start when the temp drops.
