Time clock boost

[midgetman]

Hello
i have a question. I have 3 * 1 kW heaters in a very small holiday chalet run on a 2.5mm radial with 16amp Mcb .

i need for the heaters to have a time switch which is not changeable by customer (for winter heating) and to have a boost function available for customer to use at any time so they press boost and heating comes on and overrides time switch for say 2 hours and then they need to press again if need to boost again. It just stops customer leaving heating on all day if not there.

any good products or ideas to achieve this.

I can't think of any easy way where the timer/programmer couldn't be altered by the occupants ?

You could use a boost timer for the occupants Horstmann E30 Boost Timeswitch | Time Switches | Screwfix.com and a frost stat for winter heating.

The trouble is they could easily fiddle with that.

Controls - BN Thermic these maybe worth a call

Or timer in locked cupboard with e30 in accesible location for customer?

As Resu says, time clock and e30 accessible to customer!

Thanks for the replies. I have no internet as am at back end of beyond. I found a boost and a room stat with a cover that works well.

Now I need to add a frost stat to override everything. Would there be a problem if frost stat came on as well as room stat. So both calling to heat at same time. Probably easier to draw a picture... Hold on.. Only got crayons lol... Would this work OK?

Grasslin make an E7 immersion heater control which would do this. It has a timeswitch which is not accessible without taking the unit apart and a 1 or 2 hour boost option.
Just connect you frost stat in parallel with it

You may want a pipe stat as well.
