Keep Britain warm this winter!
Straightforward and aff ordable control of energy-guzzling appliances will give people the confi dence to switch on and stay warm this winter, says Timeguard.
T Wi-Fi control you can trust!
he Severe Weather Europe website has been reporting a rapidly growing El Niño anomaly for the coming winter (2023-24) with UK likely to be generally drier compared to previous winters and colder, increasing the risk of snowfall.
Meanwhile, electricity prices remain high and there are now 30.6 million domestic smart meters installed, which means that potentially nearly 60% of the population will be watching their display dial anxiously – but there’s no need for them to be cold and uncomfortable. Instead, installers can off er them devices that reassure them that appliances are never left on longer than needed. The controls in the Timeguard BoostMaster range are inexpensive, uncomplicated, and easy to install, and they will have an immediate eff ect on users’ power consumption.
No product range is complete without a Wi-Fi option, and Timeguard SupplyMASTER is no exception.
Clear digital display - time control for energy economy couldn’t be easier or clearer.
No need for a fused spur? Installers can opt for a sleeker model.
What’s more, the price point of these devices also means they are inexpensive to stock, so you can simply have them on the shelf ready for installers to pick up. There cannot be many jobs where they won’t have the opportunity to add Boost functionality to one or more appliances. With Timeguard BoostMaster controls, people can have more confi dence about turning up the heat without fear of losing control of the bills. Their BoostMaster will never forget to switch off again. There are options to suit everyone from simple push-button countdown through to sophisticated Wi-Fi control. All are simply wired into standard socket back boxes – it couldn’t be easier for a professional installer.
Let’s look at the options…
Basic countdown and switch off Few solutions could be simpler for making sure devices like heaters, towel rails, immersion heaters aren’t left running expensively and unnecessarily than the count-down timers from Timeguard. These new digital controls enable users to choose the ideal duration for an appliance to stay on. They can set the on-time at the push of a single button and are able to see immediately how long is left. They can add some extra boost or change their mind and switch off if required.
Options include models with neon light displays, with a choice of the most likely on times from 15 minutes to four hours at the press of a button and, if wanted, built-in fused spur protection. There are also models with digital displays giving more precise control over on times of two or four hours, depending on the model chosen, and minute-by- minute countdown.
Precision control: on and off Where on/off control at specifi c times of the day (or night) are required, or users want control when they may not be at home, the Timeguard SupplyMASTER FST Fused Spur Timer with fully programmable electronic time control fi ts the bill perfectly, neatly replacing a standard fused spur or plain single gang socket which probably already exists adjacent to the appliance installers want to control, so there’s no extra wiring.
You can choose between 24-hour models or 7-day programming to cater for people’s diff erent weekday and weekend lifestyle patterns. There’s a Timeguard BoostMaster button as well, to give a little extra heat or power without having to override the programming.
Wi-Fi? Yes, of course!
No product range is complete without a Wi-Fi option, and Timeguard SupplyMASTER is no exception.
