The key to energy saving is to know how much you are using, where it goes and when you are using more than you think you should.

Plug-in Electricity Consumption MonitorEver wondered how much electricity your TV uses on standby or how much you use each time you set a 60 degrees C wash going? If it plugs into a normal wall socket then this monitor will tell you how much electricity it uses. Once you know where your electricity is going, you can do something about it. Be prepared for some surprises! At HomeEnergySaving, we found our old fridge freezer was costing an amazing £158 per year to run (honest!), the new energy efficient replacement costs only £34 per year. Our Stereo, DVD player and kitchen TV on standby EACH consume as much as a 9w electricity saving bulb.
Beware of Freeview boxes that consume as much power on standby as when they are fully
operational.

IntelliPanel - Automatically Control PeripheralsThis is the NEW Intellipanel with 8 sockets. The Intellipanel looks like a typical 8 plug extension lead but it is designed to be used with a desktop computer. When you switch the computer ON it automatically switches on all your peripherals (screen, printer, scanner etc) and when you switch the computer OFF it automatically switches them off. Computer peripherials can consume a fair amount of standby current and several peripherals consume several times that. The Intellipanel automatically takes care of standby losses. Note: This product is not suitable for Laptops as their mains power requirement is too unpredictable.
