9/20/2023 0 Comments Storage heater timer clock![]() Is that possible? The load can clearly be more than 100A when all the heaters come on (the heaters plus immersion heater could potentially draw 130A). It would have been great if all the supply worked on the cheaper meter in the summer, but I guess the load would be too much for one meter. What kind of timer can we install next to the CU to turn all the heaters on or off? Is this a bad idea for any reason? The tariffs aren't too bad either -they seem to be about the same as Economy 10. I'm not really sure if the heaters will still be hot in the evening with Economy 7. But I probably don't want Economy 7 either, as the house needs to be warm all the time as the elderly people are there 7 x 24. I don't want them heating for 14 hours in the winter. (The immersion heater is on its own timer in the bathroom).Īll the storage heaters have been repaired now (basic Dimplex XLN all models). The other meter connects to the general CU. ![]() There are 2 meters - the 14 hour one is connected to an old "Horstmann" mechanical clock, which has been labelled "seasonal device", and this connects to the heating CU. There are 2 consumer units - one is general (sockets, lights etc) and one is for the storage heaters and the immersion heater. Features: 3 pre-set timer modes, out all day, home all day, holiday, boost and auto-boost, real time clock calibration. The house has 9 storage heaters - there are a number of people living here. I want to be able to instruct an electrician to do exactly what is needed, rather than keep being told that storage heaters "only work 7 hours a day". JohnW2 said: I would say that it's not really desirable to have a storage heater (or any other long-term load that large) supplied via a plug/socket, so I would be inclined to use the wire-in version (similar price) of the plug-in timer you are proposing to use. The electricians I've spoken to don't really understand the set up at all. I guess this must be some old historic tariff that is no longer sold (Southern). ![]() The heaters are supplied by a meter that works for about 14 hours a day in winter and all the time in the summer. Use this 24 hour timer to save money on your energy bill by scheduling when your hot water heater turns on and to ensure it is off when its not needed NEMA 1. Need some help on how to put timers on storage heaters. ![]()
