Hi,

I have these very old fashioned radio controlled heaters which turn on at
a
certain time and store heat and diepsnse it slowly through the day and
they
are absolutely rubbish!

What I was wondering is there perhaps a way to bypass the radio controlled
part to turn them on whenever I want to ?

thanks

There is no radio control. They are just boxes of bricks heated by an
element run on a timeclock, set to use very cheap night time
electricity. These is no alternative except a proper heating system
with a boiler, although more efficient and smaller storage radiators
might be of use.

My landlords said they are radio controlled and come on at 11pm to 6am,
perhaps he was wrong.

Is it possible to get at the timeclock to make them come on when I flick the
socket to turn it on ?
