| Nov 19, 2014 at 9:04 | comment | added | slebetman | @mcv: Why would you need to unplug? Simply turn it off on the socket switch. | |
| Nov 18, 2014 at 15:12 | comment | added | mmmmmm | @Paul because it also controls heating, hot water and light? | |

Usually a home will have a master electric switch somewhere as part of safety equipment such as in a fuse box. So why not flip it off at night or when away and turn it on when needed? Hint: <blink>12:00</blink>
