Simple controller for heater/fans please

Hi, I dont need the expensive Neptune controller ( hopefully ). I only need a reliable temp controller that turn on a fan at a set temp and heater at the other set temp. Any ideas.....please?

ETC Ranco Digital Temperature Electronic Controller 120 - 240 Volts
And get the dual stage that can control heating and cooling. I’ve used mine for 5 years and no problems at all. Just get a titanium heater. It’s as reliable as it gets. It’s an industrial grade unit.

Yep.. There are numerous dual stage temperature controllers like the Ranco out there..
$35-100+
IN addition to the highly recommended/reliable Ranco suggested many are using the Inkbird..

I bought several Inkbirds, they all failed. Ranco is definitely the way to go.
