OT: I wonder if it is worth it to use an electrical timer on the home refrigerator/freezer?
Since at night, no one would be opening/closing the doors to the ref/freezer so you can turn it off for a few hours, even just for two or three hours each night wouldn't harm the stuff stored inside it.
At 3 hours per day, it's like having over 3 and a half days of power saved on your ref/freezer alone.
Anyone have done it or at least thought about it?

I remember buying it at DIY store at Greenhills ... around P500. It even has a "random" mode to turn the device on and off during a segment of time for "security" reasons (house lights during the evening so the house looks occupied).
I used it to turn on the table lamp in living room before I get home since I live by myself. It's nicer to arrive home with some lights on to prevent stumbling around in the dark looking for the light switch located in the middle of the living room/hallway of my condo.Last edited by ghosthunter; April 17th, 2009 at 06:20 PM.

I don't think you can save more by doing that since to the fridge since pag on ulit eh mag start nanaman yun motor and that where the big electricity consumption is...
anyways as long as hinde naman nabubuksan yun fridge during that time it won't consume too much electricity

Boybi, available sa ACE hardware yan digital timer, what's good about that timer is meron siyang UPS inside so kahit meron black out eh yun na set mong time eh hinde mag reset unlike yun sa akin na analog pag nag black out hinde na rin iikot yun timer.

April 17th, 2009 12:56 PM #16re the water dispensers: pansin ko kasi on some of our units, nagkakaron ng condensation pag nakapatay -- my guess is nag ice siya sa loob, and since no power, no cooling, natunaw. ganun din ba sa inyo?
afaik me binebentang mga timers sa mga tiangge at around 250 pesos...kaso i'm hesitant to use them on high power appliances...alam nyo na kung bakit...
Nakabili ako dati ng timer sa Ace Hardware, Panther ata ung tatak. the model i bought was intended for aircons -- it has a power plug for the electric fan that will activate once time's up.
btw, thanks to the threadstarter -- magrekomenda nga sa company mamaya...

nope... but our water dispenser has a plastic shell so I can't see if it develops any condensation inside the shell.
