I am installing a heater/exhaust fan in my bathroom and wanted to use a timer for both of these.

I only saw these leviton 6560M-W (http://www.leviton.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?item=6868&section=17139) at home depot.

However, I am not sure if I can use this on the heater. it is a 1300 Watt heater - Broan 655 (http://www.broan.com/display/router.asp?ProductID=571)

Would this timer work and if not, what do i need to look for in a timer for a heater?

Also would this timer work for the exhaust fan?

Thanks

1300w > 500w.
No.

I'm not sure why they insist on an incandescent load, but I doubt this timer would work with an inductive load fan.
