That's 17.5 kWh per year, at $0.20/kWh (a guess) you're at $3.50 per year. In which case you're already 2 years over the equipment payback period.
Cheers, Wayne
please. i'm old. this is the last act of civil disobedience
open to me.... don't take it away.....
on a funny note, the subject of controlled outlets reared
it's ugly head today on a job i was certifying.
me:
also, you have to have the controlled outlets permanently
identified. they can be embossed from the manufacturer,
or you can buy the stickers that are a buck a sheet at the
wholesale house.
EC:
you'd fail me for that?
me:
yes. i have no choice.
EC:
i PUT circuit numbers on the plates!
me:
i see that, and a fine job you did. but
you need to put the switched stickie on there also
EC:
I DON'T NEED A STICKIE. I KNOW WHERE EVERY CONTROLLED
OUTLET IS AT!
me:
yeah, but nobody else does.
EC:
I'M NOT PUTTING STICKERS ON UNTIL YOU SHOW ME WHERE
IN THE CODE IT SAYS THAT! (sits down and crosses arms smugly)
AND DON'T TELL ME HOW TO DO MY JOB! I'VE BEEN AN ELECTRICAL
CONTRACTOR FOR 35 YEARS!
me:
congratulations. you hide it well. i'm not going to tell you how to do
your job, and i'm not going to do it for you, either. look it up yourself.
i'm leaving now. when you've replaced the wattstopper parts you've
burned out, the GC, my customer, will call me for a reinspection.
if your job is not compliant, i will provide my customer with a written
summary of the deficiencies. subsequent reinspections will be at my
normal fee.
after i left without calling him a bad word, i just for grins pulled
his license abstract from the state license board.....
i'd mention it as a courtesy, but he can figure it out when he next
goes to pull a permit. it'll take between 3 and 4 months to get the
status changed. the state license board is slow. you don't want to
let it lapse.... he gets a time out. couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
