Here's mine, $110 20×20 hx of the bay, free fan from local HVAC co., $20 of tin box they knocked together for me, and a 110v t-stat. The fan pressurizes the box for more even flow through hx. This is how they told me to do it, after explaining what i was doing. To keep a 24×30 insulated building at 50° on a 15-20° day it only runs 2 minutes every 50 minutes. I leave heat on all the time, the little bit of heat it draws why shut it off? It would take a lot of heat to warm all the steel in the building. Its a lot easier to get to 70° from 50° this way. Not to mention tools are always warm when you grab them!

Here are some pics, not much to look at but very functional. Line voltage thermostats are commonly used for baseboard heat.
