Ok perfect, should I also install a fuse on the 24v circuit? And is it ok to a 40a contactor on a 30a circuit?

Ok thanks for your help.

I don't really care if i void the warranty, but should I just wire it exactly how i have it setup in my schematic?

Im a little confused on how i should wire this now, should i wire it just like the diagram i drew just with an added fuse, or should i tap into the internal wiring on the heater?

Yeah for sure, I forgot to include that in the original post. Dr. Infrared DR966

I just had a look at the circuit diagram in the instruction manual for the heater and from what i could see there is nothing in the circuit that would continually run the fan until the temperature dropped below a certain tempurature. Also if i were to tap into the control wires in the heater i...

The unit has built in manual on/off switch and a knob to adjust the wattage for higher or lower heat outputs. So what i mean by an automatic shutoff is the heater doesn't shut off at a set temperature, it will continually run until i shut it off manually.

Is the fuse block for the 24v circuit? If so, i though that transformers had a built in fuse. Thanks

The heater draws 25amps and the circuit is 30amps but only 80% of that should be used, so im already 1amp over because 24amps is 80% of 30 and im using 25 for the heater. So i don't want to add to the load of the circuit with the transformer. What do ou by "One off of an A/C unit would be...

So i have just recently installed a heater in my garage. The heater has built in heat control but it doesn't have a automatic shut off (which is what I want) so I also wired in a 2-pole switch. Now I have done some research to figure out how to control this heater with a thermostat and I found a...
