Jeez! I really should proof read.
The thermostat switches 110VAC at ample current to run even a large fan.
For heat we used two cheap $20 "Milk House" heaters. I wouldn't recommend
them. If you also must use electric heaters, then go for a 240VAC heater.
The greenhouse suppliers sell them & they use MUCH LESS electricity to heat
a larger area. Fans can flatten out the distribution.
If 240VAC isn't available then you might consider gas.
