    Ive an eco panel radiator in my house that is currently on a 3 pin plug. Im looking to install a smart controller for heating system and would like to control this eco panel as a zone and have my oil central heating as another zone.
    Im advised to use a contactor to avoid running the heater current though the smart controller.
    My question - Are there contactors available that come in there own enclosures that can be located somewhere handy as opposed to fitting contactor at consumer unit and wiring all the way to and from that unit.
    The heater is small at 450w.
