It must be a northern idea.
Hmmm. I'm not sure about that - I've never lived 'north of Watford' for more than a few weeks, and the OP appears to be in London!It must be a northern idea.

That's essentially what we've been suggesting. Make sure he understands that you want the timer before the switches, and ask him why he's saying it will not work - and then let us know what he says!man. just been told by my electrician that this arrangement won't work. i was going to get the following timer and switches

he hasn't said why it won't work so i will need to ask him for an explanation.

What?! You are presumably in as good a position as him to tell whether or not there is enough room on the wall - is he right? (I doubt it!)he says there will be too many switches so there will not be enough room on the wall. I think he is talking rubbish as it is only an extra switch to the timer.
As you say, he might be right (although, I have to say, I've had Timeguard timeswitches working for years) - but the make of timeswitch doesn't alter anything!but he says that timeguard is not very good and he had to replace one only 5 months old and that horstmann is better and will last longer so i can believe this statement better.
Connecting a switch obviously takes a little more time than not connecting a switch, but not a lot. How does he want to do it?he says it will cost more labour if i want the switch as it is an additional item he has to connect. ummmm... not sure about this. how much longer does it take to add in an extra switch?????
How does he want to do it?
Do you have faith in this electrician?
Thanks for the update. I'm pleased to hear that you eventually got what you wanted.This has now been sorted with a horstmann boost switch. The boost is used for the bottom immersion heater which is not needed except when the top heater breaks down and we have to wait for dynorod to come and replace the top immersion heater under our maintainance contract. .... Been going for a few months now and no problem.How does he want to do it? Do you have faith in this electrician?
