Customer Review(s)
Customer Rating: Summary: Great product. Comment: This timer wasn't too hard to install. It isn't fancy; but it does the job. I didn't have to spend a ton of money to save a little. I can't say I notice a difference in my electric bills. With seven people in the house it's a tuff thing to monitor. I do know that I am only making hot water when I need it which is great to know.
Customer Rating: Summary: Intermatic WH21 Water Heater Timer Comment: I have used this model timer for 15 years. The only reason I had to buy a new one was a spring broke on my old one. I don't know where you would find small springs like this one so fixing it wasn't a great option. However with this timer, replacement was a snap. All I had to do was turn off the power, unhook the wires to the timer and pull the insides out. The new insides fit right into place and reattach the wires. It was about a 15 min. job and that long only because of the location of the box itself. It does a great job of turning on power to my electric water heater when I want it on and for a time that I can select. If I have company I just have to pull the timer dial out one click and leave the water heater on all the time. It's a great product and easy to install and use.
Customer Rating: Summary: Rewards in Energy Savings Worth Effort Comment: We have had this timer for four months now and in that time perod our electric bill has fallen a minimum $25.00 a month. It's hard to factor out climate differences, but even if the savings are 1/5 that amount the unit pays fore itself quickly. Our children are grown now so our hot water requirements are more predictable, that maximizes savings. I was investigating a wind generator. This project was a far better investment on the basis of judging quick return on investment! Installation took a couple hours, but was not complicated, If you have an electric hot water heater consider this project ahead of others!
Customer Rating: Summary: DOA Comment: Dead on arrival. Manual override allowed me to turn water heater on/off but timer didn't work. Returned for refund.
Customer Rating: Summary: Energy saving... plenty of HOT Water... Easy to install... Comment: Have it set for 5 to 6AM, noon to 1PM, and 5 to 6PM. Never ran out of HOT! water. Saves at least 50% of heating cost and was a snap to install. Don't understand why they don't build something like this into the Water Heater... Now there's a $$$$ making thought?
