This is Cool!

Now this is cool! I've heard about turning everything off in your house and then going out and watching your meter run due to all the stuff plugged into the outlets. The makers of this product say you will save approximately $20 a month off your bill. That adds up to $240 annually. Sounds good to me. You can buy these things at Amazon or Smarthomeusa.


*Smart Strip Energy Savings
24 hours x 7 days = 168 hours per week total, if left on.
9 hours x 5 days = 45 hours per week used, if shut off.
168 hours total b. 45 hours used = 123 hours of energy saved.
123 hours saved / 168 hours total = 73% energy saved.







The following is a sample of what the smart strip can be used with to help you automate: Control Outlet Switched Outlets
Computer All computer peripherals, desk lamp
TV Home theaters, DVD, Cable box
Fluorescent Lamp Fan, home Stereo, small heater
Home shop equipment Work light, dust collector, shop vac.
