High electricity bills is one of the constant worries in monthly house hold expenses and everyone is trying to reduce the electricity bill as much as possbile. We are trying to achieve it by keeping a constant vigil on the usage of kitchen appliances, fans, air conditioners, various lights at garden, living rooms, bed rooms, rest rooms, corridors etc. and switching it off when they run unnecessarily.
Analog Timer Switch
There are different kinds of timer switches - some based on its application and some based on its working principle.Analog or mechanical timer switches, digital timer switches, automatic timer switches, programmable timer switches, astonomical digital timer switches are some of the most commonly used timer switches. Now a days, digital timer switches are preferred over mechanical timer switches because of its ease in installation and operation. There is very limited need for specialized technician to install and operate it.
Programmable Timer Switch
Programmable timer switches is an advancement of digital timer switches where in the running hours (for specific time of the day) is set and the device or the applicance is connected to it. The connected appliance will run for the set time frame and will be switched off (or switched on) automatically by the timer switch thus eliminating the need for manual vigil but at the same time controlling unnecessary power consumption.
Astronomical Timer Switch
Astronomical digital timer switches is one step ahead to programmable timer switches and widely used in outdoor applications like gardens, corridors, roof tops etc. These type of timer switches can be preset with switch on, switch off timings with an added facility of sensing sunrise, sunset pattern thereby self adjusting its switch on and switch off timings. This will be highly helpful to reduce outdoor lightings power consumption with out the need for constant monitoring and make our life little easy.
Initially these energy savings may seem negligible but when we add it together during our monthly energy bills, it certainly saves our pocket from getting hijacked. Reducing our power consumption not only reduces our monthly electricity bills, it also reduces our carbon foot print in turn preserving earth for future generations.
