Outlet timers consume a negligible amount of electricity during normal operation, typically drawing less than one to three watts of standby power. Mechanical dial timers rely on tiny internal synchronous motors that require very little continuous current, while digital and smart Wi-Fi timers use slightly more power to maintain their internal clocks, memory boards, and wireless network connectivity. Consequently, the electrical cost of running the timer itself is just pennies per year, making them highly efficient tools for managing home energy consumption and reducing waste.
