Oh, so only when you open the fridge then it will consume more electricity ah?

I remember seeing a Taiwanese variety show where a man say he will only open his fridge 5 times a day, each time for 5 seconds. Laughing

oh u mean if u open the fridge then it will consume more electricity ar? i learn new things on sgforums everyday.... Mr. Green

TehJarVu SG

oh i see, start button there…... then standby liao if i want to use it again, how to reactivate it?

Ah Cek SG

click Start, Shutdown, Standby...

to activate, just hit spacebar

^spidee^ SG

click the mouse and move it, or spacebar also can..

Ah Cek SG

yup. open the fridge will make the fridge loose the coolness. the compressor will run to return to the preset coolness.

once compressor runs, it consumes electricity.

TehJarVu SG

oh ok thanks guys Mr. Green

^spidee^ SG

I see.. so the air-con works the same way too?

Ah Cek SG

yup. only thing is tat aircon got a fan. compressor may not be running but the fan is.

^spidee^ SG

Cool. Mr. Green

mhcampboy SG

waah...Ah Cek so clever hor abt this kind of stuffs....but my computer how?... consume lots of electricity ar?? Laughing

Ah Cek SG

rule of the thumb: if not using, switch it off

same goes to all electrical applicances and lightings in ur house, except fridge la

Refrigerator compressors don't run on thermostats, they run on cycles determine by the temperature you set it. If you set it cooler, the compressor will run longer, and vice versa. Laughing You can open your fridge door as much as you like, the compressor will only work harder at the next cycle to reach the temperature you set it to.

dunno never try but you can put it into the hibernate mode not the shut down mode............ under the properties setting.......

it might lower the bills slightly i hope........

[deleted]

so its still consuming the same electricity? Laughing

[deleted]

please tell us your comp isnt running a energy hungry 600w psu running SLI or dual core config with 4 HDDS and a p4 intel extreme edition…. if thats the case… leaving your com on 24/7…. your electricity bill will be over the roof

^tamago^ SG

my fridge door is open for less than that amt of time... Laughing

do u all switch off the main supply of ur tv when going to sleep? or jus off it using the remote leaving it in standby mode? heard tat constant on/off the main supply of the tv may cause the tv to spoil faster.. Rolling Eyes

TehJarVu SG

heard that when not in use, it's better to turn the main switch of the TV off. The TV will last longer this way......

if u just turn off by using the remote control, one part of the TV is still charged and this will wear it out..........
