Horstmann Economy 7 Timer

Like the Timeguard TRTD7N, the Horstmann Economy 7 Quartz has been made specifically for use within the Economy 7 time range.

Pictured: The Horstmann Economy 7 Quartz However, while it does offer a simple-to-use interface, when it comes to versatility, it’s quite lacking when compared to the Timeguard…

While pre-set modes can be a bit limiting, they get the job done and you will not feel as though the heating is inadequate. First things first, the TP5000Si is not a smart thermostat, so admittedly, there are some very convenient features that it lacks such as geo-location support. But homeowners have done without “Smart Technology” for decades, so it isn’t essential by any means. Since it’s wired, in some cases it…
