I reckon that it's a must, to change ref (and most appliance for that matter) every 5 years, to 8 years tops. Nowadays, a Split-AC 1hp consumes 600w+ (LG Inverter DL). It would be a dream kung mapapababa yun at 100w.
A current model Sony 46" TV is rated at 108w. A few years ago, a Sony 32 is rated at 160w. I won't be surprised if I start seeing 55" TVs consuming 30-50w in a couple of years.
