Halstead Warm Air Boiler

Peter · 2010-10-03T17:44:05+00:00

The Heatmaster GWA46 has no room thermostat nor timer so is on 24/7 and I know the real answer is to replace the whole system. Until that time I need advice re. the following.I intend to link a heating element to a plug in timer and position it close to the boiler's thermostat thus being able, at least, to stop the damn thing blasting hot air all night.(timer switches element on, fools boiler's thermostat etc)However, said heating element must not be a fire hazard, and need/should not heat to more than say 100FWould a transformer 240v to ? (adjustable transformer?) do the trick? What I mean is, is it a transformer that would be used to reduce a red hot element down to lower temperatures?Comments and suggestions appreciated.Peter
