3 Comments

The Horstmann Electronic 7 is a direct replacement for the older mechanical model made for Economy 7, the Horstmann Economy 7 Quartz (newer example here). Easy to fit, cost effective and fairly simple to use, It’s an excellent upgrade from the old Horstmann dial quartz unit into the digital world of immersion timers.

Timeguard NTT03 Immersion Timer

Lot’s of people buy the Timeguard NTT03 7-Day timeswitch, or a similar digital model because they want to replace / upgrade their old analogue (motorised) dial timer.

The Honeywell T4H (110A1021) and T4R (Y4H910RF4003) both offer a great heating solution for residential properties that have a combi boiler (recommended but not essential). Reviews are widely positive across the board. Of course, while being similar in many respects, even in appearance, they are two entirely different models, and as a result they have some slightly different features. There is some confusion with this, as some people are not sure about the whole T4H / T4R model codes and have ended up buying the T4H (110A1021) thinking it…

Drayton LP722 7 Day Programmer

The only real difference being that with the LP722 the user has the freedom to set different settings – on / off times every day of the week and weekend (the full seven days can be different). The LP522 is slightly more limited, as in its a 5/2 programmer and…
