The Electricity Saving Thread

[Retz]

yes TV draws power even off. At least this is what I measured on my old school crt tv with the Omni power meter. IIRC my old school tv draws around 10 watts even with it off. Current LCD and LED TVs should be a lot more efficient.

Phase out na rin ngayon LCD sir. Puro LED na rin.

Here's one tip for those who like hard cooked eggs.

Before whenever I cook hard boiled eggs, I let it boil for at least 10mins. Mali pala yon. I often end up with overcooked sticky yolk.

Now, I cook it slow, I set the stove to 120°C, wait for it to boil then pag nag-start na kumulo, i set it to turn off after one minute. I let it stand for at least 10mins unopened. The leftover heat will cook the eggs (I often cook 4 but this will work even for more).

Now, I get perfectly cooked boiled eggs every time. Yolk is perfectly smooth.

turn lights-off during the day and ung aircon may timer kung ilan hours lang aander.

Old school rule: Turn off all electronics in 'sleep mode' when not in use.

[Retz]

ung mga eenrgy saving device applicable din ba dito?

[domyeongsi]

hmm.. while i do believe that energy saving devices don't consume much electricity while on sleep mode... OC lang ako na ayaw makakita ng light sa devices na hindi ginagamit. unplugged lahat sila lalo na pag aalis ako ng bahay.

sa amin naka plug lang palagi..... hindi ko maramdam ang savings.

[ryan824]

Ask ko lang kung effective yung mga plug ins? plug mo lang sya sa isang outlet then the whole house save energy or lessen ung consumption ng appliances??

[Retz]

I bought 2 of those kala ko mas madami mas effective. pero wala din.

[Ry_Tower]

Mahal nxled, P699 yung 7W sa Handyman pero mas malinaw talaga sa 18 watts na CFL, parang 21-23W katapat niya.

GES na lang nga.

Nope. Our modern appliances are already very power efficient.

kalokohan pala ung mga poweer saver na yan. ganon ung sa amin:

depende sa load, active power factor correction yan using electronics. IMHO, ang kaya lang nyan is max of 30A full pero 60A breaker capacity

answer is both yes and a no.

Yes if your power factor is around 0.80
- based on the zone and location pero nowadays all Pf is around 0.93~0.99
- most likely effective in condominium units that have their electricity bill being billed by Admin and not by Meralco (old school)
- might be effective for condominium units that have their electricity being billed directly by Meralco (note might be)
- most likely effective if your zone is within industrial parks like Imus, Batangas, Laguna and et.al.
*** the best way is to check the power factor, if you do not have power quality analizer (which is mahal) pwede din i-try bumili nito sa ace at around 1500 petot then bili ka clamp meter. dapat pagsaksak mo bumaba ung ampere reading. paghinde you probably have a good power factor. ibigay mo na alng sa ibang nangangailangan.

No - most if not all residential complex old or new is already on a separate circuit therefore power quality already improved, like me in cavite "Camella" i bought one to try and to no avail it wont change my ampere reading so it means no effect on my consumption.

Hope this will help.

I was able to talk to the owner of heateac a foreign owned and based co. Ang product nya water heater...

good for malalaking bus. Lang daw.. it saves daw up to 80 percent on electricity.

mag Roi Ka daw in less than 2yrs..applicable daw sa mga hotels... chicken dressing plant, basta anything na kailangan ng hotwater

First in the phils. And ....its a new invention.. sabi ko nga applyan namin ng patent..

Subok na daw product nya sa malaysia and Brunei... he's looking daw for partners here in the phils.

Yung water heater nya produces cold air... nakatipid ka na sa heater nakatipid ka pa ulit sa aircon mo... they will just add ducts.. sa exsisting a.c. mo...

Try ko to post picts...

sir manikis, hindi ba ganyan sa iabgn bansa may heater sila pag tag lamig and it becomes cooler pag tag init na?

[glenn manikis]

Bro. Retz magkaiba ata yun, water heater and aircon yung heateac...

Boss calorifier yan kung hindi ako nagkakamali. Combination of water cooled (via heat exchanger) and air cooled condensing unit na ac yan. Ang application sa hotel to limit the use of boilers of as much as 60% giving big amount of savings sa fuel consumption nito. Hehehehe.

Ingat pala mga sir sa solar water heater ha. May kulang minsan sa data na binibigay ng sales agent para magka savings ka eh.

Pero IMHO, para makatipid ka sa electricity lalo is to invest in new technology. Like ref may inverter series na din parang aircon. Electric fans, nowadays most are using smaller wattage motors compared sa dati with higher air volume. Similarly sa electric stove may induction. Sa tv may led na. Almost all appliances now are energy saving/efficient na.

Nakalimutan ko tamang term dyan pero parang reverse airconditioning system yan. Meron ma din sa pinas nyan ang name ng aircon is climate master sa pacific plaza fort bonifacio taguig lang meron nyan sa pinas. Pero walang silbi, hehehe.
