Heat or Eat: Manage domestic fuel consumption the easy way

Heat or Eat

Dan Watson has come up with a device that is named Heat or Eat. The designer tried to come up with a solution, specifically aimed at pensioners. This section of the society finds it a little hard to efficiently exploit central heating controls. They fear getting stuck in a situation where all the fuel will be consumed.

This very fear forces them to either spend money on food or heating their dwellings. Skipping meals can lead to malnourishment while low temperatures can be equally dangerous. Apart from pensioners, Heat or Eat proves to be of great help for people suffering from color blindness, arthritis poor eyesight and diseases like Parkinson’s. The user-friendly device allows a greater and much efficient control over a user’s heating plan. They can easily track the amount of energy spent and manage their finances accordingly.

The system has been designed in a simple manner and uses basic functions. A user can set the on/off mode with the help of a touch interface. The controls have a large shape, which is suitable for people who have poor muscle control. The nudge switch is quite sturdy and inculcates muscle memory. The system has been wedged with a speaker that proves to be beneficial for people with poor eyesight. Heat or Eat is an intuitive device and will help people plan their fuel consumption in an effortless manner.
