This 24 hour mechanical immersion heater timer can be used to control electric hot water heating times and ensure that the immersion heater is not accidentally left switched on. Immersion heaters can be up to 3000w which if left on will cost around 13p per hour/ £1.56 per day/ £9 per week/ £450 per year so it is best to have control of you heating patterns. Use of a timer switch can mean 75% less electricity usage or potentially one quarter of the above costs.

Easily connected to replace existing manual switch with full instructions but seek advice from a qualified electrician if unsure.
