Was she tinking of vk when she off the main..? :evil:
If not doing so all along, can still switch off from main now? Reason being my sis says she switched off the main of her TV after reading that it will help save $, then her TV died! Or is it just coincidental?
Well.. she is supposed to \"off\" the tv from remote or power switch, then off the main right..? Or she directly OFF the mains when there is still picture on the tv? (skip 1 step).
NOT recommended to OFF the mains directly w/o first powering off the appliances.. some appliance will have proper shutdown sequence (like computer).
The more advanced the appliance.. the more likely it have electronics that function like computers....
And, your first qns.. No, doesn't make a difference. You can start anytime. -

My ds too.... He will sing and take his own sweet time while bathing. Issue is that he perspires alot and become smelly so I made him bath more than twice a day.... There is some commercial on bathing too long on tv. So I told him that if he don't come out by 5 mins... I will switch off 1 light first and then followed by anotherOh dear, I've 6 air-con units at home and none of them is inverter type. Those inverter types are so expensive. My utility bills come up to $200+ per mth - one air-con turned on 9 hrs a day + son doesn't shower but bathes. I actually clean the air-con filters myself. Quite simple, all I need is a ladder.
How does one hit bills reaching $500 or $800? :yikes: Won't Sing Power become suspicious?
Our 6 aircons in our old place is dying.... 12 years old. Currently sourcing for aircon. Tenant is requesting for inverter type to save electricity cost. Boy, they are really expensive. But tenant is good in the sense that they are helping us to absorb the cost by agreeing to higher rent. In fact, they propose a 12% increase and then they propose to pay for all the aircon replacement. But we wanted to do it the other way round since there are tax benefits and they are staying for anothe 4 years. Still sourcing around. Their usage is 24/7.... :yikes: -
wow… a lot of rich parents here…

my main energy guzzlers are fridges, oven, storage tank water heater, airconds, and fishpond
but i know someone whose PUB bill for fishpond alone is higher than my whole house all-in bill :censored: -

I don't like ceiling fan. Feel like something above going to drop down...I used to think that of ceiling fans (the light will be interrupted by the whirring fan blades). but the newer ones nowadays have their light under where the fan blades are.
I installed one some months back and so far very happy with it. True, fans can only circulate hot air - but some circulation better than none. Ceiling fans very power, floor standing types cannot fight. -

one more thing about ceiling fan is that it is very quiet if you choose the wooden blades type - I like. at night, just turn to the low speed to circulate the air
