[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 496004, member: 6969"] Firstly this is not a "Boiler" programmer you want, that is a very different thing. You want an Immersion heater timer, Your options are limited as all you can really do is fit a boost timer in place of the switch in the kitchen, something like this [URL="https://www.toolstation.com/search?q=boost%20timer"]https://www.toolstation.com/search?q=boost timer[/URL] [IMG]https://talk.electricianforum.co.uk/uploads/imageproxy/66796.jpg.efb2370e7f448102f8336a742259f1b0.jpg[/IMG] What is the "problem" you are trying to solve? The switches next to the tank should be left on all the time, they are only there as a service isolation point should you need to change an immersion heater. Then the bottom heater will only be powered at night and heat the full tank at the cheap rate. The switch in the kitchen is only there to be turned on IF you run out of hot water in the evening as a boost to heat the top part of the tank. that should NOT be left on all the time. Fitting a timer like the one above will ensure it can't accidentally be left on all the time. [/QUOTE]
