Electricity Saver Device - Does it Really Work?

Energy saver or power energy saver or electricity saver devices, does it really work in cutting down your electricity bills?

In this post you'll about to find out one of the most awaited truth about power energy saver devices. What kind of electricity saver device in the market that really work.

A few months ago I have purchased the so called electricity saver device. But before I purchased the item, I have thoroughly conducted my own researched. I've read articles and reviews from blogs, forums and even call someone who've used it. However not all have given their positive results and so I have made my own test to see if it does really save electricity.

Because of the increasing price rate of electricity, electricity savers or power energy saver devices are now becoming a popular searched term in google. The main reason is simply because household and business owners want to save money by cutting down electricity bills.

Many power saver products out there would claimed that it could save electricity cost up to 25 percent or more of current electric bill. Now this maybe far from the truth and you might think most of them were scam. Indeed many people are skeptical about it and that includes me. Well, to find out the truth I have run my own test using energy saver that I've purchased in which they guarantee that I could really save electricity by using their product.

My business has 12 computers, 2hp split type inverter aircon, 90watts refrigerator, 2 printers,  and 1 printer copier, water dispenser.

My usual monthly bill is around 4000 - 4100 Pesos operating about 12 - 14 hrs a day - without attaching power savers.

My power saver report.
I checked my meter every 6:00 am in the morning

Without Power Saver Device

9 days reading without power saver


Day 1 without power saver device


Day 9 without power saver device

Without the power saver device my meter reading for 9 days. It consumed 120.6 Kilowatts


9 days with power saver device attached to one of my outlet

day 1



day 9

With power saver device it consumed about 108.6 Kilowatts. Its lower than without the device about 12 Kilowatts.

so...

Without PS device
7886.4 - 7765.8 = 120.6 Kilowatts

With PS device
7752.0 - 7643.4 = 108.6 Kilowatts

I have save 12 Kilowatts when using an energy saver device. The electricity saver device really works, however it only saves about 10% which is not bad after all. At least I was able to save some electricity cost.

I hope you'll be able to save on your electricity saving device that you might used. Please share your thoughts.

How to Connect ADSL Modem Router with your Wireless Router

There may come a time when you need to connect your ADSL Modem Router to your Wireless Router, so I hope this simple tutorial with an example on how to make it work.

Here's the scenario:

You have 1 ADSL modem router which are currently connected in your computer. You used this device to connect to the internet. It works fine as long as you used the LAN cable to connect. But when you bought a new wireless router to be able to access the internet with your laptop anywhere in your home, you have problem on making the connection. To solve this problem you need to follow this simple tutorial on how to connect your modem router  with your wireless router properly.

On this example I have PLDT Landline Plus Modem Router ZTE MF612 and a D Link DIR-300 Wireless router.

In order to make the connection you must make sure that none of the device don't have conflicting ip address.  Check your manuals to see what IP address are used by your routers. Most routers uses 192.168.0.1 IP Adresses. If both routers have conflicting IP Address, you have to set the other one to someting 192.168.0.2.

For example if your modem router has an IP Address of 192.168.0.1 then you must set your Wireless router into something 192.168.0.2 or 192.168.0.3 and so on.

On the screen shot below, I have set my D Link DIR 300 wireless router's IP Address to 192.168.0.2.


On the screen shot above you'll also notice that I have disabled the DHCP server that is because, the DHCP server modem router is already been enabled. If you enabled both of these, then you may encounter conflicting IP addresses to several computers that are connected, this will cause internet disconnection. So inorder to avoid this, disable the DHCP server on your router or wireless router.

How to disable DHCP server on your router can be found in your device manual - read them. You will need to access the router to make the changes. Usually 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2 or 192.168.2.1 - type one of the IP address in your internet browser such as IE, Mozilla, or Chrome.

In my example the default IP address of D Link DIR 300 is 192.168.0.1 and then the default username is admin with no password.  Then I browse to LAN setup to set the default IP Adress from 192.168.0.1 into 192.168.0.2 so that it will not be conflicting with my modem router. After that, I disabled the DHCP server and save settings. The next time I access my wireless router, I will now type in 192.168.0.2 in my internet browser.

Once you've setup your wireless router, you can now connect the 2 routers together using a crossover type network cable. To make a crossover type network cable, here's the wire setup, white orange, orange, white green, blue, white blue, green, white brown, brown while at the other end of the cable you will have white green, green, white orange, blue, white blue, orange, white brown, brown. Some routers will have a feature called automatic mdix which will automatically crossover any straight network cable when plug in to the router.




So the set up is:

Your crossover network cable is connected from your modem router's LAN port to one of your wireless router's LAN port.

In my example below, my PLDT modem router is connected to my wireless router, then from my wireless router to my desktop which is the yellow network cable.

That's how you connect your modem router to your wireless router. You can use this setup to your LINKSYS WRT54G routers connected with your Netgear N150 W R WNR1000 or any netgear router.
