POWER CONDITIONING FOR YOUR HOME
It's time to face the facts.
Energy costs are on the rise, and the use of electronics in our homes is
growing exponentially. To add insult to injury, every day, the
appliances and electronic devices in our homes are under attack from
surges, spikes and electrical noise. The time is now for a Whole House
Energy Management System.
Say, "Hello!" to the EcoPower4, a clean
power system based on the same technology that has been used for years
by big industry and utility companies. The EcoPower4 provides your home
with:
power conditioning abilities that
translate directly into savings
an easy installation that creates
immediate benefits
a cost-effective solution that is
amazingly maintenance-free
An environmentally responsible
product that helps protect the earth
SAVE
MONEY BY ELIMINATING WASTED ELECTRICAL CONSUMPTION
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 ECOPOWER4 SOLUTION
-
POWER FACTOR OPTIMIZATION:
The
EcoPower4 unit increases that power factor, in most
cases, to .97 or .98, therefore increasing the
effective use of your electricity and lowering your
usage.
PROTECT
APPLIANCES AND ELECTRONICS FROM THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY
VOLTAGE SPIKES
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
ECOPOWER4 SOLUTION - DUAL-MODE SURGE
SUPPRESSION:
The EcoPower4 operates in a dual-mode for surge
suppression, alternating between two different
types of protection. EcoPower4 uses MOVs (Metal
Oxide Varistors) to act as a sort of "pressure
relief valve," diverting the surge to the
neutral/ground lines. Should a massive surge
(like a direct lightning strike) attempt to pass
through EcoPower4, it switches into fail-safe
mode, cutting off the flow of electricity and
blocking the surge, keeping damage to a minimum
and prolonging the operating life of your
appliances and electronic devices.
PROLONG
THE LIFE OF APPLIANCES AND ELECTRONICS BY REDUCING
ELECTRICAL "NOISE"
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.
THE
ECOPOWER4 SOLUTION - HARMONIC FILTRATION:
Designed
to filter harmonics and high frequency current
(trash) from the electrical environment,
harmonic filtration reduces the potential for
leakage into the human environment and the
creation of additional trash in non-linear loads
(televisions, computers, variable frequency
drives, energy-efficient lighting, etc.). By
reducing the electrical noise and trash current
in your home, the EcoPower4 helps protect the
switching power supplies, helping prevent
premature failure and prolonging the life of
your appliances and electronic devices.
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.
What
is the EcoPower4?
The
EcoPower4 will work in any home, as long as you have
a circuit breaker panel with breaker switches and
not the old screw in type fuses, and the unit will
work on any single-phase electric application for
your home. Also, if you say "yes," to only two or
more of the following, then you could be saving a
significant amount of money on your electric bill
right now!
Is your central air conditioner/heat pump unit 3
years or older?
Is your forced air furnace 3 years or older?
Do you have a pool?
Do you have a well?
Do you use an air conditioner?
Is your refrigerator/freezer not EnergyStar
rated?
Do you have more than one refrigerator/freezer?
Is your washer/dryer not EnergyStar rated?
Do you have a hot tub or Jacuzzi?
Is your dishwasher not EnergyStar rated?
Do you have a number of appliances in your home?
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.
Is
the EcoPower4 easy to install?
Yes,
but the EcoPower4 must be installed by a
professional electrician. Installation requires
opening the electrical panel, exposing
potentially dangerous high voltage wires. The
unit comes with complete installation
instructions and installs in about 15-30
minutes.
How
long will the EcoPower4 last?
It
has a predicted lifespan of over 20 years and a
10 year limited warranty.
Why
haven't I heard of these products until now?
That's easy; two words - "cost effectiveness."
Up until recently, electric rates throughout
America were cheap, costing us 2, 3 or 4 cents
per kilowatt-hour (kWh). Now electric rates are
anywhere between 8 and 14 cents per kWh. In some
places, the rate is over 19 cents per kWh. For
example, New York City is 22 cents per kWh and
Hawaii is 33.5! At the cheaper rates, the
EcoPower4 did not make sense. But at the current
rates, it makes all the sense in the world.
