Default Looking for Differential Thermostat

I will be setting up a small fan to
equalize temperature in 2 different
places. This is actually in a church to
keep the temperature of the organ
chamber, close to the temperature of the
church itself. The reason is to keep
organ pipes in the 2 locations, in tune
with each other. I have googled this,
however, I only come up with a few fancy
electronic units. They would probably
work ok. But, I was wondering if anyone
knows of a simple unit that is capable
of switching 110 to the fan. The fan
will be a small, 300 CFM or so unit,
using just a few amps.
Thanks.


While you're working on this, why not install the fan and whatever
means you plan to use to direct the air and keep everything quiet.
So your project will be proceeding. Any switch that can control
anything electrical can control 110 volts by means of a relay.

Maybe when you are done, you'll be able to just use a simple
thermostat in the organ room, and won't mind if the fan runs a bit
more than you would have it otherwise. After all, if it runs more
now, and when it turns off 5 minutes later than planned, it will start
again later than it would have. So you'll break even.
