I keep having issues in a flat we own with Tesla dual safety immersion thermostats item 21275 from Screwfix on the Economy 7 circuit/heater. The boost circuit doesn't get used enough to draw any conclusions for that one.
The E7 stat seems to last barely longer than the one year warranty Tesla put on them, and quite a few reviewers of the product on the Screwfix site have reported exactly the same, or even earlier failure. I've got the point where I keep a spare at the flat and I'm just about to change it again today as the occupant is reporting unusually hot water, suggesting the contacts have fused.
I just wondered if anyone had any recommendations for anything better/more reliable as these Tesla ones are quite widely sold and there doesn't seem to be be too many more options on the market. I accept these are switching a fairly hefty current for several hours on a daily basis - but I would expect better.
Thanks!
