Using Heat mat to keep seedlings warm

I used a heat mat this year to germinate with great results. My plants (mainly peppers and tomatoes)are 5 weeks old and seem healthy but small. My house is very cold. Usually around 60 degrees. I'm thinking about using my heat pad to keep my seedling warmer. I've heard that you shouldn't do this because the plants will get leggy, but if I set the thermostat lower wouldn't that help the plants?
