Do the math... Most heaters I've seen draw between 600 and 750 watts per element. That's .6 KW/H times what... 10-12 cents per KW/H x24/7? That's 1.44 a day or 43 bucks a month for a 600 watt heater and 10 cent power. I think a timer will pay for itself. The other side of the equation is that a heater that sees that kind of use will only last for a few months at most and let you down when you actually need it. I used to have four of them on the plug 24/7 for feeding and the risk of needing to run a generator. When the feathers went the generator didn't need to run that bad. A tractor can always be made to start anyway, and the skid steer is inside... so it doesn't need it to go do the feeding. Let's just say that what came off the power bill went a long way to making the skid steer payment during those months... Get yourself a timer.
