Energenie – The Energy-Saving Plug

By Dan (EnviroGadget Writer) on June 18th, 2010

Energenie - Standy Saver

Energenie is a clever new gadget which has been designed to reduce energy bills. It’s estimated that 8% of the cost of an average electricity bill is made up of power consumed by appliances on standby mode and, despite the heightened awareness of that fact that appliances consume electricity on standby, many people still frequently use the standby mode due to its convenience.

Therefore Energenie has been developed. It’s a simple, easy-to-use little device which goes between an appliance and the mains supply. Once connected – it’s as easy as plugging it into a socket as it automatically detects when the appliance is in standby mode and cuts off the power supply.

It works with any popular household electrical appliance, whether it’s a TV, CD player, printer or computer monitor, although you have to be careful not to use it on devices that require standby power to work, such as laptops and video recorders.

With 8% of all household electricity being consumed by electrical devices on standby mode Energenie can make a real difference to your carbon footprint as well as your electricity bill. It’s also ASTA approved and RoHS compliant, meaning that itís been comprehensively tested and is completely safe.

Therefore if you’re looking to bring down your escalating electricity bills try out Energenie on a few of your most popular electrical products, such as the TV in the lounge. It will save you money, reduce your carbon footprint, allow you to continue with the convenience of using the standby mode, and as an added bonus it also reduces the risk of electrical fires.

The Energenie is avaiable for £13.99 plus delivery.

    You just press the green button to turn the TV on again. Since the green button is on a wire, it’s very easily accessible.
