To make sure they are enabled after boot you have two optins: a) list them in the "%systemd_post" rpm macro (and the other macros too) like you would do for service units. Note that "%systemd_post" and friends take an arbitrary amount of unit names. To enable these timer units by default, you'd also need to get them listed in the fedora preset files. b) Or you include them in the "Also=" field of your service unit's [Install] section. That means that whenever your service unit is enabled/disabled your timer unit is too. If you use this no addition to the preset files should be necessary. c) Or you could list them as "Wants=" dependency in your service unit's [Service] section. That means that whenever your service unit is started, your time unit is too. No need for preset file changes. I think c) is the best choice if it makes little sense to ever run the service without the timer unit. It makes things very robust.
