Title: Storage heater timer ideas? Post by Duffy89 on Apr 1st, 2018, 1:04pm Hi guys, My flat has storage heaters which all come on automatically in the night. However there is one that just needs turning on manually and has no timer. I can't connect a timer plug to it as there's no plug hole - just a wire into the wall. Is there anyway to put a timer onto this? I've attached a picture to this post. It's the white socket in the middle - as you can see there's a switch but no plug hole. |
