Immersion heater control

Electronic 7 is the digital equivalent of the Economy 7 Quartz timer, and is designed for use with Economy 7 and other more recent cheap-rate tariff arrangements. When water is heated by off-peak electricity, it is important that the immersion heater controller offers ease of use, coupled with the most efficient performance. This is where the Electronic 7 Series 3 controller comes into its own. Electronic 7 is designed to control one or two 3kW immersion heaters, utilising off-peak electricity tariffs to provide a full tank of hot water each morning. Additional off-peak settings are available to take advantage of the latest off-peak tariff arrangements. A boost button is provided to top-up hot water if supplies run low, and an automatic boost setting to provide a preprogrammed daily boost is also available.

Client testimonials

“This is an awesome product. 100% reliable, sensible logic (and not plagued by overly-complicated logic). The CRUCIAL advantage is that this can operate TWO separate heating elements.”

Client testimonials

I’ve installed these timers in several properties we own, I’m very impressed with their quality and reliability. Their user manual is easy to follow. I recommend this unit – it is easy to install, easy to programme and has a good solid build quality feel to it.
