Did you know that even after turning everything off in your home, you are still paying for electricity consumption you may be unaware of? If you’re like the average home or business owner, that should get both the frugal and green-friendly aspects of your personality all riled up.

logo-GreenSwitch-Energy-SavingsSome scary facts for you:

  • 8-10% of your home’s electricity consumption is due to appliances left in standby mode.
  • A mobile phone charger uses 2 watts while charging a phone, 2 watts even when the phone is fully charged, and STILL 1.5 watts when the charger is plugged in without the phone.
  • Home entertainment systems (TV, DVD, audio systems) are the worst culprits, sucking over 28 watts even when all the components are turned off or are in standby mode.
  • Your stereo will use 23 watts while playing music, and 20 watts while left on but not playing music.
  • On a grander scale, the Energy Saving Trust claims that appliances on standby produce 50 million tons of CO2 annually.
  • Energy Saving Trust (a UK based organization) also claims that if one mobile charger per household is left plugged in, enough energy is generated (wasted, really) to provide power to 66,000 households for one year. Yikes.

When you plug in your phone or camera to charge overnight, it usually finishes charging after about an hour. What about the other seven or eight hours you are sleeping?

Not to mention that as long as all these appliances are burning up power, they’re also slowly but surely wearing and tearing. Turning them off – really off – when you aren’t using them is the best way to get more miles out of your purchases.

Go around your home and look for lights. You know – the little LED lights that indicate something somewhere is plugged in. They’re on chargers, power bars, DVD players, stereos, coffee makers, and various clocks around the house. All those little lights indicate that power is being used up, and most of the time unnecessarily.

But let’s think practically here. Going around the house at night or whenever you leave and unplugging everything isn’t going to happen. Heck – the backaches alone from reaching and craning around furniture to access well-hidden outlets will cost you more in medical bills in the end!

Seriously though, there is now a product on the market to help reduce excessive power consumption. It’s called Green Switch.

“GREEN SWITCH” has been highlighted on:

“Legacy Electric & Energy Solutions” is your local sales representative and certified installer.

Green Switch product was originally designed for the hotel/hospitality industry, which saw an energy cost savings of 25-45% as a result. So the next logical market became the consumer.

 

How “GREEN SWITCH” Works

GreenSwitch™ uses simple wireless technology to control energy usage in the home or office. With the convenient flick of one switch, the GreenSwitch Master Switch sends a protected radio frequency to all GreenSwitch components, cutting power to designated lights and outlets and setting climate control to economy mode. Turning the switch back "on" returns the system to fully operational. GreenSwitch eliminates the drain of unused electricity caused by unattended climate control, forgotten lights and "phantom power"—saving hundreds of dollars on electricity bills and greatly reducing environmental impact. GreenSwitch is easy to install as all components can be retrofitted into existing electrical systems. The GreenSwitch system is completely customizable, allowing the user to designate which electronics and appliances are affected as well as custom program their heating and cooling systems.

ALL COMPONENTS ARE AVAILABLE IN WHITE OR IVORY

It involves a relatively simple installation of a “GREEN SWITCH” commander in place of one of your light switches. It then sends a wireless signal to other “GREEN SWITCH” outlets, light switches, and thermostats in your home to turn the power off at the source when the “GREEN SWITCH” is activated.

Installation takes under an hour and is installed by a Legacy Electric & Energy Solutions Texas licensed electrician and certified “GREEN SWITCH” installer.

The payback comes in the form of energy bill savings. This may seem like a long break-even period, but when you have installed a system like this it’s for more than just frugal reasons; there is an environmentally-friendly component to this that holds weight too. Once you’ve broken even, it’s all gravy from there.
