Prepare for the Summer Heat: Aircon Timer

It’s starting to get warmer. The Christmas breeze is slowly leaving our beloved country and the HEAT of summer is surely coming your way and mine.

summer vacationBut before you schedule the great get-away summer adventure of yours, why don’t we run a little check-list on matters more important: home safety. As you know, nothing kills a vacation than an emergency at home.

  1. Do you have an aircon timer? Due to excessive heat outside, most of us would like to cool off inside our homes where there is good air conditioning. Problem is, you might lose track of time and regret this once your electricity bill arrives. Install aircon timers so that you may control the number of hours you’d like your aircon on. You can also have a schedule every day with Meiji’s 8 programmable-options-24-Hour Timer.
  2. Is there a working fire extinguisher at home? Make sure that you have one in a practical place and yet is out of reach for your children. Don’t neglect to inform the members of your family how to use the equipment when necessary.
  3. Have you installed smoke detectors at home? Only get ones that alarm LOUD enough to wake you up even if you’re asleep. Or when you’re not around the house, audible enough to alarm the neighbors. Remember also to check or test your smoke detectors every month and to check battery replacements every 6 months to a year.
  4. Are you extension cords tacked up or coiled? Do not place extension cords under carpets or mats to avoid it being stepped on or the wires being damaged.
  5. Have you covered unused outlets? Children are particularly fond of inserting their fingers into outlets. So to avoid grounding and/or burns, cover unused outlets with safety plugs or better yet with blank plates.
  6. Have you checked for overloaded equipments? Plug only appliances that are within the capacity of your socket outlets and that also of your extension cords.
  7. Are all major appliances grounded? Appliances, extension cords and outlets with ground are to be prioritized to promote safety especially with children and women in the house. Remember that the ground tolerance for women and children are significantly lower than that of males.
  8. Are electrical cords unplugged when not in use? When you know you’ll be out for some time, it is wise to unplug electrical cords. This is a sure way to avoid complications especially when rats and other pests might be taking over once you’re away.
  9.  Have you planned your emergency escape? Practice AIRCON TO FAN TIMERa drill with your family on where to go and what to do in case of emergencies. Make sure that you own an emergency ladder and that the nearest fire and police stations can be found beside the telephones.
  10. Have you considered an aircon to fan timer? Having one is not only practical and useful but also very affordable. Now, you don’t have to worry once the aircon shuts off because your fan will automatically turn on.

Don’t waste your summer locking yourself in your rooms! Get out and enjoy the heat knowing that your home is safe and cool whenever and however you want it.

Why Meiji Has More Than a 24-Hour Timer

24-hour timerIf you’re looking for great deals, you may include this article in your list. Recently Meiji Electric has showcased one of the most interesting items in their product line. A new technology of Timers with Voltage Protection!

As we personally use this at home and it works perfectly, I felt it was only appropriate to write an article about it. My sister and I was looking for an aircon timer in a hardware store. Luckily, we were told about Meiji’s 24-Hour Timer. As we reviewed the item, we found out that it not only can be used for aircon, it also has 8 timer options, with your choice of days! My sister and I are currently maximizing these options in our room. Our setting was set in 8 ways of course:

On Mondays, since she has no work, turn on time is at 11pm and turn-off time at 12noon. For Tuesdays, turn on at 10pm and turn off at 5am. On Wednesdays, since we have Bible Study, turn on at 7pm and turn off at 5am. For Thursdays, we usually stay home, so the air condition is already on by 7pm and off at 5am. Friday is our night-outs with friends so its set to turn on at 1am and off at 10am. Saturdays and Sundays, we set it to be on from 1pm and then turn off at 4pm and then turn on again at 10pm and then off at 8am the next day.

So this was how ours was set. You may also use this with your flat screen TVs, sound system, water heaters/pump and more. As long as you comply with its load capacity at 4,400W, 20A, just plug and play!

But it doesn’t stop there. This item also has a built-in voltage protector to keep your appliances safe from the usual fluctuations in our country. No need to worry about resetting the items plugged-in as Meiji Timer with Voltage Protector will automatically turn-on as the voltage stabilizes to a power safe to use for your appliances.

Setting your Meiji Timer is a one time thing so once and for all, do away with the hassle of manually turning on and off an appliance whenever you wish to do so. No more manually turning on your aircon just to get more hours of sleep during the weekends! What are you waiting for? Try it now!

How Timers Bring Great Conveniences

For the perfectionist, everything must be put in a system. For the one who loves technology, he or she takes advantage of what it has to offer. And at home, there is one system you can’t ignore at home, it would be one run with timers. In fact I can present to you three precise purposes for you to consider installing timers into your home.

SecurityTimer with Voltage Protetector

They say that the best way to keep your house secure is by keeping the lights on. It serves as a deterrent from bad elements by creating an impression that people are inside. But we can’t really be home all the time and sometimes we even stay out late than expected. And as a solution to this dilemma, timers can be installed to make sure that an illusion of people being present at home is created. In our home, we actually do this as our lights are set to open at night time so that we can leave the house with the assurance that enough lighting is available.

Systematic

Yes, timers are perfect for someone who likes everything in the proper order and time especially if the busyness doesn’t really allow memory to remember a show to watch on TV or a radio show to listen to at a certain time. It can also help you if you want to use your lights or your television as your alarm. My parents once told me that my grandmother used timers to keep the house alive at the times she needed to as well. So if you need everything following the proper timing, you can’t go wrong with using timers.

Savings

Leaving an electric fan open for the whole night even though it gets colder during the early morning will cost you a waste in electricity. Having your lights on at 7 am just because no one is still awake at that time is money to be spent. Well timers, as long as it is properly configured can save you actually a lot of cash. Though you may not notice it at first and see the hassle and early capital of installing timers, in the long run, this is actually the best choice to save a buck.
