There are 5 main reasons why we end up wasting energy with our electrical appliances :
1. Left on standby because there's no easy way to switch off; e.g. Set Top Box
2. Left on because we do not realise it is still on; e.g. DVD Player or Wii
3. Left on because we forget or get distracted
4. Pain to get to switch to turn off appliance; e.g. switch is behind all the appliances and too heavy to move
5. Inherent inefficiencies in the appliances themselves
Whilst existing electrical control products only cover the 4th reason the energyEGG® covers all but the 5th. Point 5 is being addressed by appliance manufacturers with energy rating certificates like the ‘Energy Saving Recommended’ logo from the Energy Saving Trust and the Energy Star from the EPA in the US.
However, we need to reduce the energy consumption of electrical appliances not only when they are in standby mode, but also when they are completely switched on.
Appliances and control systems need to tackle the fact we all get distracted, forget or just don’t realise the appliance is still on.
Now the energyEGG® can do all of this and saves you money
