Shabbat time has been gaining momentum in recent years, and more Israelis are interested in installing digital clocks that can be adjusted clockwise.
Today there are home appliances, such as air conditioners, ovens and cookers that include a built-in Shabbat clock extension.
A Shabbat clock is actually a halachic solution for pre-scheduled switching on and off of appliances on Saturdays and holidays.
This is a good and convenient solution designed to save the need for manual operation of turning off and on the electrical appliance that is prohibited by law.
If you are also interested in a Shabbat clock, you should first define your needs from the device.
Where would you like to connect the watch?
Would you like to control the lighting and air conditioning, or just the hotplate?
It is important to understand that today several types of Shabbat clocks are available, some installed in the electrical panel and some portable that can be installed on a single device.
Here are the important tips that will save you time and money:
Consult a professional -
if you have no knowledge of the subject, do not hesitate.
Contact a qualified electrician who can adjust the right clock for you, and also make an efficient and safe connection to the electrical system.
The cost of such a service may reach NIS 350.
Some companies offset this amount on the condition that you purchase the product from them.
What is your language?
Once you have checked your needs - alone or with the help of a professional - it is very important to check the technical specifications of the watch, where you will be impressed by how easy and convenient it is to work with the watch.
A good and comfortable Shabbat clock is one that allows you to set the language, program it and run it remotely via an app.
If all the features listed here are not included in the watch, it will most likely serve you less in the long run.
Shabbat clock with reserve -
Some watches come with an internal battery, which is very effective in case of a power outage.
In this case, the clock will continue to operate independently until the electrical system returns to operation.
Price -
The cost of a Shabbat clock can range from NIS 33 for a simple clock that consists of an electrical panel and up to NIS 600 for a built-in Shabbat clock that controls all the appliances in the house.
Service and warranty are not compromised -
one of the most important items in the purchase is the service and warranty.
When purchasing an electrical appliance it is important to make sure how long the warranty lasts and where you will get service in case of a malfunction, but in case of Shabbat clock this is especially essential as watches purchased over the internet may come without a local service center, then in case of malfunction you will be left without a solution.
In conclusion, Shabbat time is a convenient and good way to get through the weekend without halakhic worries.
It is just important to note that it includes all of your needs.
It is said of this: He who bothers on the eve of Shabbat, can rest on Shabbat.
