Question On Thermostatically Controlled Outlet To Run Heater

[pointer80]

Hello all, I have a 4x8 grow tent set up in my workshop and I will have to run a heater inside and I want to hook it to a thermostatically controlled outlet. Most heaters are over 1200 watts and the thermostatically controlled outlets I am finding are rated for under 1200 watts. Does anybody know of a outlet that is rated for over 1200 watts for a descent price? Or is there another way to rig it up? Thanks all.

Buy a heater with a built in thermostat.

I don't think most heaters with a thermostat are that accurate and also I want to use the outlet for a seed mat

You can run a 24v transformer, single pole contactor and a standard 24v thermostat. If you want me to write you a diagram I can

I would really appreciate that, Thank you.
