Wine ardor set up help

This brought up a question I'd never thought of before.

I've noticed that most wineadors use thermoelectric devices to regulate their temps. Does that imply that they will help in a situation where you might live somewhere cold and have trouble keeping the temp up? Wintertime at my new place isn't extreme, but I've noticed that the room I intended to store my cigars never really gets above 55 or 60 this time of year.

(Also, I spotted a used 16-bottle Cuisenart wine cabinet today for $35, and am wondering how to justify the project properly!)

There are no issues with storage at 55 degrees. Cooler temps will have no adverse affects. In fact many well known London merchants store their cigars in below ground cellars and have done so for decades.
