Horstmann ‘Electrisaver’ – a ‘timely reminder’ to keep energy costs under control!

The ‘Electrisaver’ is a push button electronic timer for short term power boosting on electrical equipment such as panel heaters, immersion heaters, heated towel rails and oil filled radiators.

It saves wasted energy by remembering to switch off the appliance in areas that are easy to forget and, with its capability to switch loads up to 3kW, has extensive application potential in both domestic and commercial applications.

Two models of ‘Electrisaver’ are available; The Model E15 offers 15, 30 or 60 minute time period options while the Model E30 offers 30, 60 and 120 minute duration’s.

“It is a simple, push button operated controller that can prove invaluable for controlling electrical equipment that is easily forgotten,” explains Paul Lovegrove, Horstmann Controls sales manager.

“Equipment such as immersion heaters and panel heaters are often needed for relatively short periods but overlooked and left active – which can be very costly.  The push button Electrisaver overcomes that problem and will pay for itself time and again in reducing fuel bills and wasted power.”

The compact, easy to install unit can be flush or surface mounted with a single gang moulded box (not supplied).  It is recommended that in most installations a double pole isolator switch should be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
