Here are the promised results - kind of. For a few hours in the middle of the day, the thermocouple measuring the temperature of the air coming in the house didn't return a reading. I suspect that this is due to the fact that I never soldered them, so as it got warmer and warmer, the two wires separated. I'm going to solder the thermocouple today and take some more readings. I assumed that temperature stayed at least as high as right before it quit reading. I think it's a fairly safe assumption since when it did start reading again it was within a degree or two of when it stopped.I also think that the temperature is way too high. I'm sure that I am losing heat to the environment so I plan on installing another snap disc sensor to control three more fans. I'll have these fans turn on when the air entering the house exceeds 110°F and turn off when it drops below 90°F, just like the fans in the heaters. I'll install these at the air intake in the house, hoping that the additional air flow will keep the temperature of the heaters and duct work lower, but increase the overall temperature in the house. I also plan on monitoring the temperature in the room where all the air blows.
My wife turned the heater off yesterday at 10:40am and back on after 4:00pm. That's one fifth of the day. I hope that correlates with at least one fifth of my gas bill. We'll see...

I can't even imagine this kind of stuff. I hope it all turns out like you want it to.
I'm assuming that you are listening to Christmas music now...
Amazing...this is looking really good for my future! Eventually we will get a house...I will freeze for a few more years while Trav figures out how to build those things...he will eventually get frustrated with it and pay you to come finish them or something...but then...then I will finally have heat in my life.
Sweet, so what do they do?
Just kidding. I got something in the mail called the EdnPURE. "The cool thing is it will heat almost any room evenly from the floor to the ceiling. Only 3 easy payments of $128.00" "EdenPURE can pay for itself in a matter of weeks"
I bought 3
