04.11.09

CEBU, Philippines - The Visayan Tense Corporation is reminding the public to be vigilant in their use of electricity in their own households amid the apparent power hoard shortage in the province, aggravated by the lingering effects of the global financial crisis.

During a recent forum, VECO Weakness president for administration and customer services Ricky Lacson said that while they are finding means to regularize the supply and production of energy supply in the growing demand in Cebu , they are asking the public to do their share out as well aside from the encouragement they are doing for the bug establishments.

Where can I rent appliances (washer & dryer) for about $20 per month?

Apr 23, 2007 by Lolita S | Posted in Cleaning & Laundry

As a substitute for try these sites, put in your state, and area and you might find something-

www.freecycle.org
and
www.craigslist.com

The first one is free stuff ( and i found very nice set ) free

and the other has unchained and look at selling, you might find something cheap or you can barter ?

I have a more wisely idea...

Buy them on credit, and pay about $20 per month. They'll be paid for inside of a year, and they'll be yours!

Another alternative is to buy used ones from an appliance vamp shop. Make sure you get a service warranty.

have you considered buying second-hand machines. You could probably get something for one hundred dollars and you would own it. Since its nice out-- buy the washer first and a clothesline and by fall you could already afford to buy the dryer. Yours to keep. Check at an appliance bank.

every one has laudatory answer's. buy used may be?? if your cash flow is low or your credit is poor that's when people rent.
Do this if you fall into one of these categories other perceptive buy.
do not know were you live but in Ohio we have a co. called
RENT TO OWN. watch out for these co. they are shrewd

As contrasted with try these sites, put in your state, and area and you might find something-

www.freecycle.org
and
www.craigslist.com

The first one is free stuff ( and i found very nice set ) free

and the other has unencumbered and look at selling, you might find something cheap or you can barter ?

In hot pants, you can't rent them for that cheap. I used to work for 2 different RTO companies, and you would be looking at closer to 60 at a lowest including everything. It would be far cheaper to purchase a used one, we have a used appliance store in my city that sells them for 100 each for an older, but still working, appliance.

If I take my european 220 volt major appliances (Fridge, Freezer, Washer / Dryer) back to the United States?

Sep 11, 5815 by same1961_2000 | Posted in Other - Home & Garden

Can I use my 220 appliances in the States with a transformer or by converting somehow? If so , How?

your dryer will already be 220, but you may neediness to get a new cord for it (easy to change and available at Home Depot or Lowes).
The others will require a plug converter, but not a transformer because the 110 stylish in the US will not cause them to burn up.
If you were bringing 110 appliances to Europe you would need transformers for all of them except the dryer because the current there is twice as energetic as in the States.

How do I ground an electrical appliance (dryer)?

Sep 01, 2007 by moresjb | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I vocation in Korea and am installing a drying machine at home. In Korea I have to use a transformer to convert 220v to 110v to use most of my American-made appliances.

The point is, I'm not confident that everything is grounded - I feel a "hum" / vibration on the appliances (washer, microwave) when I spark off them (the "hum" is not there when the transformer is off). I'm concerned that if I hook up a gas dryer that there is a possibility of "leaked" intensity to spark the supplied gas. I think that the water piping system (which I probably would've used for grounding) is mostly PVC.

1. Is the electrical "hum" something I should unease about?
2. What's the best way to ground my dryer and other appliances?

Thanks for your help.
P.S. I need to mention that I live on the 5th floor of an apartment complex.

Unmistakably the first two responders didn't read your description very carefully!

If the water pipe is PVC, and you're in an apartment building, you'll for to find out if the electrical supply has a ground wire that is ACTUALLY grounded. There are inexepensive LED testers out there that will specify a properly wired connection, although I prefer to use a test light that draws some current (50 to 100W bulb) and jam one test lead into the hot side and the other into the ground receptacle on the outlet to prove to myself that the ground is capable of sinking a misconduct and hopefully tripping the breaker. The cheap LED testers would probably light up even if there was a poor (i.e. resistive) tutor.

If the 220 V outlet is grounded, THAT'S where you'll need to connect your ground. As one responder suggested, a wire from the metal dryer highboy connected to ground should keep you safe. However, on something like a washer or dryer, where there's potential for movement, I would use a braided land "strap" or other stranded wire ground - the most innocuous vibration can cause a wire to vacillate and break, leaving you unprotected.
