A customer wants me to fit an electric heater with timer control integral to it.
There seems to be really cheap ones (screwfix) ranging up to £100's, so it's a bit difficult to make a choice. Is there anything wrong with the cheaper ones? They seem to have reasonable reviews on screwfix.
This...

Hi, The heater over temp protection (bi-metal) switch on my Cleverspa has failed open circuit. If I link it out, the heater still works. As expected, the manufacturer hasn't replied. So, can anybody advise the type / part number if this part; or advise the temperature at which this over-temp...
Was changing a storage heater today, I’ve used 6 spring toggles to fix it to the wall. No straps behind the wall at all, is this safe? Seemed solid when I was giving it a pull. Didn’t have any wood for fixing a pad
