    It states to use only that one item in the socket nothing else.That’s because of the high wattage.

    What are you heating ? I use a 2500w oil filled radiator (not on full blast) and it manages to heat my very cold attic just fine.Has a built in thermostat so no need for a timer.
    Thank you everyone for the advice. I think I may have been a bit too hasty with this purchase.

    I have an oil filled rad running at lights off in my shed. Not very well insulated but will remedy that in the spring hopefully. Between the radiator and the dehumidifier at lights off it stays about 18c.

    I thought purchasing this would give it some oomph but if its gonna melt my timer I will just stick with the system I'm using now.

    Will go into shed on really cold days to fire this up when lights off to heat up shed. Heats up shed quite quick tbf and really good piece of kit.

    Thank you once again everyone

    Peace
    Eastman

    3K...That's a lot of heat!
    Hate to ask, but can you still return the heater and look for another?
    I have a 1500 watt heater and it's plenty. In fact, I use it on low power 750 watts.
    Why do you need a timer? My heater has a temperature thermostat so the heater will only run as needed, so no need for a timer.
    Lastly, did you plan to plug your heater into a wall socket or did you plan to use an extension cord? Gotta be careful with extension cords for portable heaters!
