I think I would mate that timer with a relay that could easily handle the fan running amps.
1.5 amp rating seems a bit light.

And yes I had installed similar in the wall thermostat control circuit. Worked great. agastat was the delay unit and it was 12v based. 12v is hard to find as most units (non-RV) are controlled with 24vac.
