Can I swap my RTS timer for a Time switch instead of using a smart meter? Discussion ThreadCan I swap my RTS timer for a Time switch instead of using a smart meter? Electrical Advice

Hi

Not an electrician, so would have a pro in to do this if its possible to do.

I have economy 7 for my heating and have brand new Quantum wi-fi enabled heaters: 3 X 1.5 KW 1 X 1.0 KW. Hot water is from bottled gas using Rinnai 55KW instant hot water boiler. Heating in bedrooms (3) and bathrooms (2) are by panel heaters with one heated towel rail.

I have an old style rotating disc meter connected to an RTS timer. I don't want a smart meter. I believe that before RTS, mechanical (Venner) time switches were used, and some of these are still in use, so those folks won't HAVE to move to smart meter. Question: is there a modern day equivelent means of replacing the RTS time unit with a sufficiently rated mechanical or electronic timer (or timer and suitably rated contactor unit), instead of a smart meter?

Thanks
