THE PROBLEM:

Most motorized home appliances (air conditioning units, refrigerators, freezers, ceiling fans, washers, dryers, dishwashers, pool pumps, vacuum cleaners, furnace blowers, etc.) operate most efficiently when they're operating at full capacity. When they're not working at full capacity they pull more energy than they use, wasting the difference. In fact, the average home in America today operates at a power factor of .77. That means 23% of the electricity being delivered to the home is being wasted by the use of motorized appliances.

THE PROBLEM:

Typical residential and light commercial power sources allow literally hundreds of spikes and surges per day to reach valuable electronic equipment in your home. These voltage spikes come from many different sources (motors, power fluctuations, static electricity, lightning, etc.) but can all cause damage to televisions, stereos, computers, DVRs, security systems, etc.

THE PROBLEM:

Our homes, businesses and factories are filled with electronic devices that generate "noise." It's this noise that's responsible for that all-too-familiar static you hear on your home radio receiver, the "hum" of a florescent lamp, or the "snow" you see when a TV produces a weak signal. And those are just examples of the electric noise we can see and hear. Imagine how much noise is coming from everything else in your home that you can't see or hear. What you also can't see or hear is the damage this noise does to switching power supplies, causing premature failure.

• Electricity usage has increased by 60% since 1985 and is expected to grow by an additional 45% by 2030.
• The use of electronics within the American home has been growing at an exponential rate and we are constantly demanding more and more of our home's electrical system.
• The price per Kilowatt hour has gone from an average of 2 cents to 10 cents over the past 40 years.
• Energy and energy pricing are now seen as the most important issues facing the U.S.
• Our homes and businesses are filled with electronic devices that generate "electronic noise" that is harmful to these very same devices.
• The noise created by these devices breaks down the switching power supplies, causing premature failure.
• This wasteful electronic noise drains more wattage than it uses, adding unnecessarily to your electric bill.
• Typical residential and light commercial power sources allow literally hundreds of spikes and surges a day.
• These spikes and surges shorten the lifespan of valuable and sensitive electronic equipment.
• The technology to counter the harmful and wasteful effects of spikes, surges and noise has been used by industry and utility companies for years, but is only now practical for home use.
• On average, there are 20 million lightning strikes in the U.S. each year, with nearly $1 billion in insured losses.
• When properly installed by a professional electrician, your EcoPower4 reimbursement warranty will cover any damaged electronics or appliances, up to $25,000, in the event a damaging electrical spike or surge should occur.

Will the EcoPower4 affect any of my appliances and their normal use?

No. If anything, your motors will run about 10% cooler, which is good because heat is the enemy of a motor.

How much can I expect to save per month by using the EcoPower4?

Your savings will depend on the factors in your home - the size of your home, the amount of inductive motor load, the amount you are paying per kilowatt-hour for electricity, etc.

How long will it take for the EcoPower4 to pay for itself?

This depends on your individual circumstances, number and age of appliances, electrical costs, and usage patterns, but most units are paid for within 2-3 years.
