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

Thanks

This one covers the range I need 40 to 99 degrees, the stores just
dont sell 40 degree thermostats.

This may meet the OP temperature specs, but it won't meet his other
requirements. The specs at the site say: "For Use With Gas, 24V
Electric Heat, Oil".

The OP is looking for a stand alone heater or a control for a
standalone heater that can be set for low temps, not a thermostat for
a furnace.
