Is it a good idea to have one controller for both the heater and the chiller? What brands are good? I'm not doing APEX so I need other suggestions. Thank you!

Here is where you can get a pre-wired ranco dual stage controller so you don't have to deal with electrical on your own. You can also customize the length of all four cords (1 power, 2 for heater/chiller, and 1 probe)

Thank you I had no idea this existed and it looks quite great. Love the customizable cord length option!!
No problem. One of the reasons I chose Ranco as my go to is because it's commercial and not "hobby grade". It's also UL listed and as such it undergoes extra testing to ensure it's a robust electrical device. I've used cheap non UL listed power supplies from Amazon in the past and they were not great (over heated and at some point it started to smoke). This is also why many of the expensive products we buy (e.g. Radions, Vortech, etc) use parts that are UL listed like their power supply.
