Freezer power saving overnight.

hertzal123
Just read on another forum about a device that switches off domestic freezers for short periods overnight to save

power.Just wondered if this is worthwhile in a domestic setting.

    Normally the thermostat does that for you.There are devices that reduce the drive to the compressor motor once it is up to speed (by measuring the back EMF to deduce the motor is running, and then slicing the cycles like a thyristor lamp dimmer) 'savawatt' was one model, but I have not seen one for years. I suspect modern fridges may include something a bit like this anyway
