... reasonably priced thermostats available that could be used to switch a receptacle 'on' for use with a floor fan? The idea is to have the 'stat turn the fan on when the temp exceeds a certain setting and when the room cools down (when all are asleep) the 'stat shuts the fan off, thus saving sleep and energy.

Check that link out and see what you think. Sounds like exactly what you'd want. They want almost $60 for it, but search Ebay for the same product and you may luck out and get it for less.

Hope that helps!
