Default Would this really save electricity?

it would mean my kettle and toaster would take longer,
and wouldnt cut my electric heating costs would it?
(whereas more insulation would)

The lights would be a bit dimmer
so I'd get higher power lightbulbs!

If the fridge pump gets less volts would it have to be on for longer
to pump out a certain amount of heat
(like when that salesman opened the fridge door?)

and there's the power the thing itself consumes as well as the £250 plus
installation charge...
