Timers can become energy-saving devices when used on high-energy-consuming appliances (such as hot water heaters or smaller devices used out-of-hours, such as the promotional display screen in the front window) to turn them off at night and on weekends.

Why
Energy consuming appliances are often left on unnecessarily, consuming energy, costing money and increasing your carbon footprint.

How
24-hour timers can be purchased from hardware stores or electronics suppliers. Simply plug the timer into the power socket, set the time, and plug the appliance into the timer.
