[QUOTE="kerching, post: 468295, member: 11861"] A customer Of mine years ago...energy bills were extortionate first mistake they made was getting the gas meter changed as it clicked and squeaked!...it wasn't making that noise because it was running too fast!! one building was heated by storage heaters....fitted a timer and contactor along with an IMI Pactrol .( I think that was its name) so no overnight charge on Friday or Saturday when they were shut. Saved a fortune each building was fitted with a MBFO contactor .....remote on off buttons by exit. On lock up,all buttons were hit, all non essential power was killed apart alarms, fridges, freezers, servers etc. Didn't save as much as I expected. Fitted an energy recorder on for a couple of weeks. Reviewed results and found that when they opened up,in a morning at 0600 they hit ALL the buttons and turned ALL the power and lights on for when the staff started to drift in around 0815! That was quickly stopped! Then they trained the staff to switch the lights off, that was the hardest bit. They had an MD meter with the 'red nudge up,arm' they they came and reset monthly. You know, the one with the seal through the front face that if it fell off you could, if you wanted, turn the MD needle back apparently. Very fragile those seals in the winter months, very fragile indeed [/QUOTE]
