Time switch replacing

[sidekick]

I need to replace a Sangamo rpts e850 timeclock.
As they are around £150 ish customer wants to know if a cheaper option available.
Question is does anyone know of a compatible time clock with a 2hr boost option.
The timeclock switches a contactor for several storage heaters during the day. The heaters are on mains 7 for night loading.

That timer has a 20A contact. What load is connected to the timer?

A contactor, as stated by the OP!

Supplied from a 6A mcb only and then the timer switches a contactor which energises the heating consumer unit.

How did I miss that!

Haven't got my head around the full details, but it looks like this might do the job

Sangamo Powersaver Dual Flexi Timer and Boost | Sangamo (PSDF2)

Maybe design of contacts for resistive load (immersion heater) might not be ideal for an inductive contactor?

Could use a single channel programmer with a boost I think the timeguard has a boost of 30 mihs 1hr and 3hrs.
Alternatively a horstmann e7 single input timer with boost. Designed for hot water but would work.
