are these timers hard wired?

yes, also my initial review wasn't that great, but the truth was our water heater is so well insulated that even when the heat is off we still have enough water for one good shower. I should probably update my review to being positive! We didn't even realize it was working until we all tried to take a shower one morning (we have it set for evening only). Good luck.

The timer does not come with wires, however, YES you must hard wire it between the circuit breaker box and the water heater.

Yes They are Hard Wired.. To be code legal you should use a some flexible conduit to run the wire to the unit. C.

Yes... they can be hardwired. I just had 14 installed that way... there is a small power converter that hides up under the cabinet, but work great.

No they are wired and depending on the length you need you might need to add some to it.

Anything that you plug in to a timer will get power when the timer turns it on. These will light up upon getting power. They do not have a built in timer. They do not soft power on.

Yes they are easy to attached to the old wiring. I have had mine in service for a while now and they are great.

I don't know because mine was not pre-wired. They fit in perfect, work perfect & look perfect. They had to be wired from the lights & a switch put in because mine was not prewired.

The ones I bought were wired to a circuit and have a battery back up. I did not see any that you just plugged in to an outlet.

No they are not. If you can run wire in the wall there is a way to have them appear wireless with the brackets they provide. I also ordered a nicer bracket that I decided not to use because of visible wire

No these are for plugging in 2-prong halogens (MR-11 or MR-16) The other end gets hard-wired into the ceiling.

Yes these do. There a some out there that have to be hard wired. These must be newer generation

No, here is the factory wiring diagram http://www.intermatic.com/~/media/Intermatic/Documentation/Timers/In-Wall/Electronic/EJ351C%20and%20EJ500/EJ500%20Instructions.ashx

I'm not sure what you mean by hard-wire system... This timer is super easy to hook up assuming you have an electrical outlet close and your sprinkler system zone valve wires are already pulled to where you are mounting the timer. So, basically, the only wiring required is power, and a pair of wires for each zone control valve. There is an option for a moisture sensor to be wired as well - I did not need this.

My timer came with three wires, one that acted like the input wire, one that acted like the output wire, and the third is to be connected to the ground. My guess is if you do not have a ground in your house wiring, then do not connect the ground to anything. that seems to be fairly typical for older homes. I've had a couple of houses that were older and there were no ground wires, either. The ground wire is usually uninsulated.

I think that question has more to do with the switch/bulb. These are hard-wired.

Yes....that is one of the uses for which we have purchased these timers. The timers in our transformers had failed.

No, they are strictly electric. Furthermore, I found them to be undependable, even in short range between adjacent rooms -- sometimes worked, sometimes didn't.

Yes they are. I didn't see any wires or batteries. Just mine didn't work from day one so I wouldn't buy it again.
