The most common home electronics devices, phone chargers, TV's, DVD & stereo equipment, coffee makers, phones chargers and computers are all burning energy even when they're not in use. Otherwise known as "phantom power" this wasted energy may be costing you as much as 15% of your total energy bill. The cure is simple: use 'green' power strips.
Most people can do something to live a ‘greener life’ and make cutbacks on consumption and waste. One of the big obstacles of doing this is the convenience and interruption factor. Nobody likes to have to change their ways when it works so well for them. So in order for a green product to be successful, it needs to integrate into our lives in a transparent fashion.
Owl has developed a range of products that can help you save energy and thus save money. But the key thing they’ve considered is how they can do that without the inconvenience. There’s a couple of products in the Owl range that are designed especially to help you with this.
The Owl Micro is a wireless electricity monitor that provides you with real-time updates on the Kilowatts you’re consuming and how much that is costing you. At a glance, you can instantly see how much energy is being used from any of your home electrical appliances.
One of the 'green' Owl power strips has four plugs with each having an individual remote facility. The remote control included has four buttons which each individually control the four separate plugs on the power strip. This gives you extra control and flexibility over what devices you want powering.
