Save by cutting the refrigerator in peak hours?

[sieurcoug]

Hello

Is there any point in cutting off the electricity on the refrigerator for a few hours during peak hours? (thanks to a programmer)
Is it bad for the fridge?

Frankly blah because given the thermal inertia ... I think that putting the fridge on 1 or 2 will make more savings ... it is less energy to eat than to maintain a temperature ...

Not to mention the influence on food when in summer the fridge is cut for 12 hours ...

It seemed to me. I wanted to have a more "specialist" opinion.
Ok, it's not a good idea. In addition I have a class A fridge, the gain may not be huge.

However, I think I will put a programmer on my cordless phone. Certain savings, I think, because the little transformer is constantly pumping and maybe during the power outage, the phone (DECT) will no longer radiate electromagnetic interference (but I have no device to measure ...). It will make the handset batteries work a little, rather than staying charged all the time.

Yes for telephone, fax and modems ... Lots of hidden costs for not much ...

ps: we have programmers (some of them digital) on the store ...

not convinced at all, because a modern fridge is a relatively well designed device, on the other hand as for the food that is inside, I would be less reassured.pcq, if you forget to reprogram your thing in summer

My opinion is as follows: if you want to spend energy (your energy) or money, don't tire yourself too much of investing it in candle-tip savings: analyze priority big posts:

- heating: insulation, modification of the installation, maintenance of the boiler, change of boiler, solar panels, optimization of management .... Electric auxiliary heaters so as not to restart all the heating in mid season (bathroom, office). remove the heating in the corridors of schools and administrations, redistribution of space, installation of false ceilings .... buy a new sweater, change a woman

- automobile: better management of travel (I said things about this a few weeks ago), abandonment of certain behaviors, change of vehicle, maintenance of the vehicle, take your sandwiches at noon.

- large systems on standby: put the PC monitor on standby after one minute (50 watts), optimize the windows startup to be able to stop it more often (100 to 150 watts),

- lighting: switch from ambient lighting to orientated lighting, switch on automatic lighting in certain places, switch off the store lighting at 22 p.m., lower fluorescent fixtures by 50 cm, change their orientation, repaint certain ceilings in white (I made measurements the other day with a luxmeter: the freshly painted ceiling gave 50% more flow, device unchanged). move certain switches to make it easier to extinguish, install indicator lights outside certain rooms.

For the computer and windows or linux there is something that few people do and which is nevertheless brilliant (the only thing I miss on my mac), it is the hibernation mode. When you click on start-> shutdown you must have "hibernation" or "hibernation" mode or sometimes you must press shift while going to normal sleep mode. And the computer stops completely, we can even unplug it but above all it restarts very quickly where we were EXACTLY. We must not deprive ourselves of it.

If you did not have the possibility, you have to do "control panel" -> "power management" -> "hibernation / prolong standby" -> enable / authorize

Under Linux it is "hibernation" I believe.

Ok sorry, I bow (you will excuse me, I don't have the smileys you need).

Well, to make believe that I did something more I would say that it exists from Win 2000 / millennium and that almost all Linux (with a kernel version> 2.6.x) have one in one form or another.

Nono the robot said, quite rightly,

There is something I have to dig into from this mode, it is that apparently, it would require a huge space on the disc, it is in any case what I saw this morning while trying to put it on one of my computers. Disk space on the order of 240 mega, not always available. I need to check with my network administrator, I will give you news within a few days.
