In my constant effort to reduce our electric bill I bought a timer for our extra freezer and refrigerator. So far, it's worked well. These two appliances shut off at midnight, and come back on at 6 AM. No one is opening them during that time, and they stay plenty cold. This way, every 4 days they have been off for an entire day. That should add up to some savings.

Curious about the cost of this.
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea! thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteSusan, we paid about $14 for the timer.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Be glad to hear how it goes!
ReplyDeleteYour nights must be a darn sight colder than our current norm of 20 Celsius!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful idea!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative idea! You'll have to let us know about the cost factor... :-)
ReplyDeleteGood Idea! I have been switching off the main power for the computer and all those lovely attachments (speakers, printers, internet). Hoping that helps!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea!
