Generally no as the wattage is too great. you would need one specially made fro a heater that exceeds the number of watts that the heater is rated at. If it is this one, it is 1,500 watts
only made for 400 to 600 sq feet try Eden pure heater 1500 watts than cover 1000 sq feet the oil fill heater might have a switch 600 to 1500 watt there r usually a high and low to them good luck
Generally NO. But...it Depends on amp rating of timer, wattage of water heater, and line voltage. Look at label on side of heater for watts. Electric water heater will work on any voltage.
1) Start with 120 Volt outlet:: Volts x amps = watts Watts divided by volts = amps Let's say outlet is 120Volts. Lets say water heater is rated 4500 watts. 4500 divided by 120 = 37 amps There is NO plug-in timer rated for 37 amps.
Let's say water heater is rated 900 watts. 900 divided by 120 volts = 7.5 amps
Go to lowes or home depot and buy a properly rated switch and install it. Make sure to check the device and get its watts, amps and or volts before you go as they will want at least 2 of those items. Watts and amps or volts and watts or amps and volts.
with one switch on its 700 watts, second switch is 800 watts, thats 1500 total. even though a 14-2 wire could support this ...I would recommend a 12-2 wire with a 20 amp breaker
