I Have gas floor heater from the 1950s. I am in the middle of a rebuild right now. I went down to a Plumbing supply Co.and they sold me a kit for a $140.00 with all the modern fail safes. I pulled my heater unit out of the floor to work on it (with a small nail pulling bar and a hammer) but you do not have to do that if you get down under the house under the unit two small bolts and guts will swing out and you can take it topside to work on it. The kit had all the important parts and every thing worked. the only down side is that to turn the heater off in the summer and back on in the winter i have to go under the house to do ( that's 2 times a year) I am sure you could buy a Pull switch that could do all of that on the wall of your home. $ here is a list of things in my kit
what kind of skills do you need to do the job on a one to ten with one being easy I give it a seven.Goodluck,The 2 Hand

Behavioral therapy began in the early 20th century with the work of psychologists such as John B. Watson and B.F. Skinner, who emphasized the importance of observable behaviors and environmental factors in shaping behavior. It was further developed by psychologists such as Albert Ellis and Aaron Beck, who applied the principles of behaviorism to the treatment of various mental health issues. Its focus on changing maladaptive behaviors through techniques like conditioning and reinforcement has made it a widely used approach in psychology and counseling.
