Utility Study Confirms Fast Pay Back
The following quote from an Energy Saving Study commissioned by the San Diego Gas & Electric Company confirms the company's claims of significant savings that no other outlet strip can offer: I quote: "A large savings opportunity exists for Smart Strips. Vampire loads (i.e. the power consumed by electronic devices while in standby or off mode ) account for a significant portion of residential energy consumption. These plug loads can be eliminated by physically unplugging electronic devices or by turning off power strips. Smart Strips eliminate the need for manual intervention by cutting power automatically. In this way, Smart Strips drastically reduce energy consumption from vampire plug loads." According to the study, over the life of the smart strip, just one appliance, a printer, used in conjunction with the smart strip will yield an approximate savings of $155.87, a flat panel monitor $174.87, a modem $92.13. The study shows that the average savings per home on peripherals is 26.34 kWh - at $.15 that means your yearly savings is $34.37. This would pay for the Smart Strip in a little more than one year - great return on a very small investment that continues to save no matter what the electricity rate becomes.
