Deepends really on how low the temperature is. If it's too cold you will have difficulties with keeping the yeast active.
You can get proper heating belts and pads, but I found a 3 tray seed propogator just as good and it takes 6 demijohns. I put a thickish layer of newspaper on the bottom of it so the wines didn't get to hot, and it worked a treat.Let's party

What temp is the room? or, more importantly, what temp is the wine that is brewing. It can make it's own heat to some extent whilst brewing so make sure it doesn't get too hot if you cover it up.
I use a mixture of a normal thermometer and the stick on ones on the outside of the demi.
I'd thought that the PET dj's would be k on a seed heater tray, as they don't get that warm, especially using some newspaper as Mamgi suggests. Heater tray with some insulation round the DJ should see them going a treat!!
