Safety and savings!

Unattended hobs are a major cause of domestic fires. Hobsafe keeps shared kitchens safe, ensuring hobs cannot be left on inadvertently

Hobsafe, from Prefect Controls, conforms to 21st-century safety standards, is one of the only devices available for this purpose and certainly the most cost-effective.

Perfectly suited to student accommodation, the robust design and large switching capacity makes it the only choice for safety-conscious landlords and accommodation managers and
a favourite with electricians because of the ease of installation. Hobsafe can be installed in less than 30 minutes and controls most electric hobs.

This tamper-proof model includes factory-set 15-, 20-, 30- or 45-minute run-times, LED operation light and a reset button for extended use.

In terms of energy waste, Hobsafe saves money, but also in terms of emergency services call-out charges if fire crews were to attend a fire alarm.
