The Pro Power Save electricity box helps lower your electricity bill by optimizing the flow of electrical currents.
It is an easy-to-install device that reduces unnecessary energy consumption, making it ideal for large appliances like refrigerators and heaters.
And the tiny gadget also balances the current which further prevents energy loss.
The company claims users can expect noticeable savings in as little as six weeks.
Other ways to monitor energy usage
Smart plugs aren’t the only way to keep track of your energy usage.
Getting a smart meter installed can also help track how much you’re spending on gas and electricity.
These are different to smart plugs as they look at energy usage around the whole home rather than for each device.
The actual smart meter sends the readings to your supplier so you don’t have to, while the in-home display screen shows you how much you’re spending.
Most energy suppliers provide smart meters and displays for free. However, some users have reported issues with their devices, for example when changing providers.
Your supplier should be able to answer any questions you have.
Meanwhile, a simple tweak to your TV settings can help households reduce their energy bills ahead of the winter season – and it’s absolutely free.
Americans have been unknowingly paying more money when it comes to energy bills, but some small actions could add up to considerable energy savings over time.
While most modern TVs already consume less energy than previous models, they can still continue to use power after being switched off.
This is because of the new “quick start” feature that allows them to boot up a few seconds faster.
Turning off the setting can help you save a significant amount of money over time.
Another brilliant TV-related hack is to turn off the automatic brightness setting.
