WATER HEATING
ALTERATION-REQUIRED
DECISION" OF ELECTRICAL,
ENGINEERS
At the Conference of Electrical Engineers held recently at Wellington a recommendation was carried
that all electric water heaters should be thermostatically controlled and metered as soon as possible.
This was considered a major power problem and that immediate steps should be taken to bring in some system of control. Figures quoted showed that a number of supply authorities were supplying 50 per cent of the total units purchased for water heating at a very low rate. The estimated horse-power t hours
that went into water heating each year in New Zealand amounted to three hundred and fifty millions.
