Question UTH Heater Doesn't Get Hot?

I'm pretty new to keeping reptiles and when I got my first snake (a milk snake) 1.5 years ago I planned on using a UTH. I got the ZooMed UTH and I remember it getting slightly warm but barely doing anything for the tank's temperature. So I went with a heat lamp instead and haven't had any problems since.
But now I'm getting a Brazilian Rainbow Boa, so a heat lamp isn't a viable option (because of the humidity requirement). I got a new UTH from a different brand, hoping it would work. It's been on for about 1.5 hours and it's somewhat warm but it doesn't even come close to increasing the temp to what I need, which is a big problem.
Luckily I have a few days to figure this out before I get the snake, but I really don't know what to do. I wondered if anyone else has had this problem before. Any advice?
