Hi I'm new to the forum (although I have been following it as while via twitter).
I've just moved into an old house that has amongst other things, just an immersion tank heater for the hot water (storage heaters in the house).
It's not on a timer so I have to switch it on last thing and remember to switch it off in the morning (economy 7 rates).
I've seen some timers in the local DIY shop - looks like you just break into the cable and wire in / wire out from the back of the timer.
Is it really that easy? What about electrical loading, what am I looking for on the packet e.g "capable of handling xyz current" etc.
I know enough to isolate via the fuse box (which should be fun as the house was previously two flats and none of the fuses are identified as what they are for.
Any help or links to a suitable timer appreciated.
Thanks peeps. - Jonathan
