How to adjust your hot water timer safely

Your hot water timer controls when your electric hot water system turns on and off. Adjusting the timer can help your system run during suitable times of the day, such as solar production periods or off-peak electricity times.

Important safety information

  • This guide is for basic timer setting adjustments only.
  • Please do not remove covers, access wiring, or attempt electrical repairs. For safety and warranty purposes, installation, wiring, replacement or repairs must be completed by a licensed electrician.
  • If your timer is not working, appears damaged, or you are unsure what to do, please contact Buzzed Energy for assistance.
