Energy Saving Devices

Energy saving devices help cut carbon footprint

The amount of energy wasted every year by inconsiderate power usage, appliances left on standby and inefficient heating and cooling systems can have a large effect on the environment and your household bills.

However, a few small steps can help you make a real impact and it involves very little effort.

We want to introduce you to 4 energy saving devices that can cut your energy bill as well as your carbon footprint.

Smart Thermostat

Regular thermostats let you adjust the temperature in your home—it's just a control panel for your heating and air conditioning system. Programmable thermostats let you set the temperature and have the thermostat change it based on the time of day. What makes most smart thermostats so "smart" is that they learn from your behaviors, allow you to control the climate in your home remotely, show you energy consumption in real-time, and can even adjust themselves based on ambient conditions like humidity.

Energy Saving Power Strip

Everywhere in your home there are devices and appliances that are sipping power from your outlets, even when they are turned off. Although you may think they’ve been powered down, really they’re just in standby power mode. To stop this energy theft, you have to turn them off at the wall. An energy saving power strip is the ideal solution – flick one switch, and everything plugged into one power strip turns off properly, saving energy and money.

Solar Charger

A solar charger will top off your batteries using only solar energy. Furthermore, they are mobile, so you can bring them with you wherever you go.

Smart Kettle

Designed to heat just the water you need, smart kettles are about 30% more efficient in terms of both energy and water usage. The clever designs allow you to specify exactly what you’re heating the water for, whether it’s a cup of tea for yourself or a pot of coffee for everyone, and it heats precisely what’s needed, so there’s no lukewarm water left in the kettle afterwards. Here an example of how a smart kettle works:
