fitting an electric timer to unvented hot water boiler Ask questions and find answers to many subjects relating to electrics and electrical work

Just moved in to our new flat which is fitted with a Megaflo D125 unvented water heater. Its currently wired into its own switch, but I'd like to fit a timer so that we can take advantage of off peak electricity. Can anyone recommend one I should buy that is easy to fit and use? Is it simply a matter of imitating the way the unit is wired into the switch?

Hi If you have a DD125 L HE according to the makers website it uses 2 X 3kW elements = if so then load is 26.0A so normal time switch won't do you would need a contactor as well (see other posts on here abt. contactors),regards SPARX
