*NEW* Standby Buster® Starter Kit
Brand new to our energy-saving range, Standby Buster is aimed at the householder who wants a basic starter kit for switching their appliances off 'standby' mode, a modern convenience we have all got used to which accounts for a great deal of unnecessary - and avoidable - energy wastage in the home. Use this kit to save energy while retaining the convenience of 'standby' mode.

The wireless remote switching works through walls and doors using radio, so 'line-of-sight' to your plug socket is not required. Standby Buster has a maximum load capacity of 3.5KW, making it ideal for use with powerful HiFi or home entertainment systems. This is as yet the only product of its kind that carries the approval of the Energy Saving Trust*.

It is estimated that leaving electric appliances on stand-by uses about 7% of all electricity in UK homes. That is equivalent to the electricity generated from two gas-fired power stations or from more than 1,500 wind turbines**. With over 3.5 million tonnes of the principle greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2)*** being wasted by equipment left on standby each year, Standby Buster will help reduce this wasted energy consumption and in turn save you money. Additional sockets are available to expand the system.

*Standby Buster is the only mains controller with a certified electricity consumption of less than 1 Watt that is approved by the Energy Saving Trust for use on consumer electronics equipment ("Energy Saving Recommended" rating from the Energy Saving Trust).

*NEW* Efergy® Smart Meter

*NEW* Efergy® Smart Meter
A brand new smart meter with a genuinely useful extra feature - a 'memory' function which allows you to view the accumulated totals of your power use, carbon emissions and expenditure over days, weeks and months. Comparing day-to-day power use with the Efergy meter offers you direct feedback on the impact of your energy saving efforts and changes of habit around the home or office, answering common questions such as:
· Was it worth switching to low energy light bulbs?
· Does the tumble drier really use so much energy?
· Have I saved any money by taking energy-saving measures?

The Efergy smart meter takes the hassle out of doing the calculations: you program into the wireless monitor the cost of your electricity per KW unit plus the date and time, and that's it; thanks to the memory function, where normally you'd need to keep records of usage and expenditure yourself, Efergy does this for you daily over as much as an entire year. Having struggled with programming video recorders etc. in the past, we were anxious to discover just how 'user-friendly' this memory function truly is; be reassured, it's brilliantly simple - the 'setup' and 'use' portions of the instruction booklet run to a mere two pages - even lifelong instruction manual phobics can cope with the Efergy meter!

The kit comprises a wireless monitor which runs on 2 x AAA batteries and a power sensor which clips to the wire coming out from your electricity meter. The sensor also needs 2 x AAA batteries and sends a radio signal to the monitor every few seconds. Attaching the sensor is simple and clearly explained in the manual, no wires need to be cut and there is no interference with your electricity supply.

Batteries are not supplied and we recommend you use rechargeable AAA batteries (link to our batteries) which will power the Efergy meter for a few weeks before requiring recharging.

Additional sensors are needed for businesses and offices with 3 phase supplies - see below.

Additional Efergy® Sensor
The Efergy® Meter comes complete with one sensor. This is suitable for single phase household supplies. However the transmission unit can take up to three sensor inputs.

Businesses or offices with three phase supplies will need two additional sensors. In the unlikely case you have a two phase supply you'll need a single additional sensor.

Bye Bye Standby
Ever wanted one switch to turn off all those standby devices when you leave the house or turn in for the night? Well here it is.

Bye Bye Standby comprises a switch and two remote control sockets with wireless (radio frequency) communication. Range is around 30 metres and works through walls and ceilings.

Simply plug the Smart Socket into a 13 amp wall socket and then plug your TV, stereo, games console, computer etc. into the Smart Socket. Put the Green Switch on the wall by the front door and you're all set. Just flick the switch when you leave the house and you know you're not wasting energy.

Typical households can save up to £40 per year and cut down CO2 emissions.

According to the Energy Saving Trust approximate wastage every year in the UK:
·Stereos left on standby waste £290m worth of energy and 1.6m tonnes of CO2
·VCRs left on standby waste £175m worth of energy and 960,000 tonnes of CO2
·TVs left on standby waste £88m worth of energy and 480,000 tonnes of CO2
·Games consoles left on standby waste £70m worth of energy and 390,000 tonnes of CO2
·Mobile phone chargers unnecessarily left on charge waste £47m worth of energy and 250,000 tonnes of CO2
·Computer monitors - £41m worth of energy and 220,000 tonnes of CO2
·DVD players - £19m worth of energy and 100,000 tonnes of CO2
·Set top boxes - £11m worth of energy and 60,000 tonnes of CO2

Bye Bye Standby - Energy Saving Kit

Bye Bye Standby - Energy Saving Kit
This variation on Bye Bye Standby features an additional socket module and a neat programmable remote, which gives you the choice of individual or group socket control. The added flexibility of individual control could help to minimise family arguments, while maintaining that commitment you've made to saving energy!
The module's 'plug and play' setup makes them incredibly easy to get going with: group control is achievable immediately; individual socket control is just a little more involved, but still simple to set up: just get the socket 'talking' to the remote - a simple matter of matching up each device's mechanical switching, which is easier than it sounds (!) - plug an appliance or extension bar into it and control it with the remote control.
Appliances connected to the module can still be controlled manually. These modules can respond to on/off commands as normal.

Intellipanel

Intellipanel
This clever device automatically powers all your desktop computer peripherals. When your computer is in use the power is automatically switched on to the monitor, scanner, printer, speakers etc via a built in auto calibration system and switched off when you shut down your computer. Power is only transferred to the monitor, keyboard, printer etc when the computer is switched on. Simply plug the Intellipanel into the mains and plug the computer box into the black socket, then the peripherals into the other sockets and off you go. The power you will save from not having all peripherals on standby mode could be a collective 35 watts per hour. The Intellipanel will also safeguard against power surges.
This panel now also comes with a connection for broadband.

SAVES UP TO £700 ON WASTED ELECTRICITY
The Intellipanel is so energy efficient it has been officially recognised by the Energy Saving Trust Efficiency for its proven contribution to significantly reducing the power consumption of desktop computer systems. According to recent research, peripherals left unthinkingly in standby mode can burn an average of 20 watts per hour, with some laser printers or games consoles burning almost 80 watts per hour! A massive waste of energy where energy expended on further research calculates Intellipanel can save 100 kilowatt hours annually, representing anything from £115 to an impressive £700 saved over its estimated minimum lifespan of 15 years.
