Power over time is measured in terms of "kilowatt hours" - and your electricity bill will be measured that way too. So something running for 8 hours, drawing 4 watts (0.004 kilowatts), would consume 0.032kWh. mortslim;197843 Wrote: > 2. My refrigerator is 17 years old. Would I save by getting a new one? Probably - but there's no time component here either ;-) Chances are that your old refrigerator isn't very efficient, so a new one will use less juice... so it will save you money eventually, but you might have to wait a while before the electricity savings are greater than the cost of the new device... -- mflint 'Clicky-woo linky' (http://www.insignificant.org/wiki/index.php/Slim_Plugins) to web page of my plugins ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mflint's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2102 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34789 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
