Is your power bill on the rise?

Are you on an

Off -Peak/Peak power plan?


We could help you reduce your hot water electricity costs!


Is your power bill on the rise? If you're on a Time-of-Use electricity plan, you can automate your hot water cylinder to heat during off-peak hours and avoid expensive peak-rate electricity.


Did you know hot water can make up 30–40% of your power bill? and many hot water cylinders heat during peak-rate periods — meaning you could be paying more than you need to.


The Shelly Ogemray Smart relay 25A can automate your hot water cylinder to run during off-peak times instead.

You still get the same hot water and the same heat, but with smarter timing that can help reduce your electricity costs.


Simple to controlThe timing can be easily adjusted through the Shelly app on your phone, allowing you to change the schedule to suit your household and electricity plan.


The results speak for themselves!Check out the itemised power bill below showing the difference after the Shelly was installed and the timer was set to operate during off-peak times.



Your potential savings will depend on your electricity provider, Time-of-Use rates and household hot water usage.



Example of consumption usage

We also use a similar timer for spa pool circuits, get in touch if you’d like more information about this.
