You can program this one to do that. It will start every 3 hours if you want and run for a certain amount of time, or start at 6 am every morning when you go to work. It has the turbo timer too but i have to read my book. I went with a big name alarm becasue my old one was in the truck when i bought it and i couldnt get replacement remotes or any places around here by me to help me with it.
