Honeywell T4R

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 LP722 Mark 4 (Wired) from Drayton is a great dual channel 7 day programmer, with mostly excellent reviews across the board. It’s very similar to another model made by Drayton, the LP522 (MK4). In fact, they are almost indentical. 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…

Horstmann

Horstmann 425 Tiara Programmer

With no digital screen and very few controls, the Horstmann 425 Tiara Programmer is as basic as they come. But just because it has that classic, old school timer appearance, it doesn’t mean its not up to the job. This is a simple to operate but very effective programmer. It’s as close to foolproof as you will find anywhere. A lot of people buy this model to replace an older model Horstmann programmer, with reasons usually stemming from them not wanting or needing all the bells and whistles that the…
