Timers for exhaust fans

This was a simple upgrade, but we use these everyday.  At our old house, we had a tendency to leave exhaust fans running for hours, which wasted power on the fans, but more importantly wasted air-conditioned (or heated) air.  In our new house, I installed timers similar to these:


I'm comfortable with electrical work, so these were a breeze.  And now there's never a need to turn the fan off.  Before a shower, I set it to an hour, and it runs long enough to clear the humidity after I leave without leaving it running all day by accident.
