AGREED. Outdoor heavy duty. I got mine from the hardware store for 15 bucks. Highly suggest the use of a timer.

Most timers are rated in AMPs, get a good 15A unit, doesn't necessarily have to be outdoor as long as it is rated at 15A, most people plug the timer in somewhere in the garage where it is protected from the elements. I opted for a 7 day digital programmer, 15A heavy duty, works awesome, this is the 4th year I have had it.

I got mine at Home Depot for around $20. It is digital and you can be programmed for different on/of times.
