We've been putting block heaters on timers for close to 30 years. We've always used the heavy-duty outdoor rated timers.

Generally speaking 110V outlets are on 15 Amp circuits, so if it draws more than 15 Amps, you should be popping the breaker/fuse.

You can get a Kill-A-Watt meter to find out for sure how many Amps it draws, but it should be well under 15 Amps. Does the owner's manual say how many Watts the block heater is rated at?
