A mechanical relay is right out ... There is a device called a solid state relay. I used a few of them about 10 yrs. ago for a similiar application. They are a combination of an opto-isolator and triac. Some of them also have zero-crossing detectors built in to minimize RFI problems. Check the Newark catalog.
