Hi, looking for some advice, I currently have an immersion heater which is run either by 24hr electric, ie no timer, or by a timer that links to our oil fired system.
Currently the mains goes to a 20a double pole switch, from this the main wire then goes directly to the immersion heater, but also from the 20a switch,they're is another connection to an isolator switch which goes down to the timer for the oil fired system.
This is fine if I'm happy to run off the oil, but is there also a way to install a timer for the electric side of it. On most systems you would wire this inbetween the pole and the immersion heater, but would this then override the oil heated timer.
Hope that makes sense.
