I wanted to see if I had any alternative to a relay for my project.
I'm turning on a heating element that is powered from the wall: 120VAC (Max 30 Amps)
Is their any alternative to a relay for this project? The contacts seem to be taking a beating over the course time. Thanks!

A solid state relay would be a good fit. Search one of the distributors for your specs (current, voltage, & control voltage).
For example check out this datasheet: http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/93/s_1_120-368679.pdf
