Hook ANY heater to a timer?

If it's an electric heater, make sure the timer can handle such a load.
If it's a gas heater, use a setback thermostat?


hook any electric heater to a cal stat thermostat, use a relay if
necessary for higher current

More suitable is probably the freeze-protection thermostat
