Imagine a small gray box that fits neatly next to your breaker panel, saves you money year
after year and protects the entire home. Sound too good to be true?
The Power-Save 1200™ was designed with the homeowner in mind, providing lower energy bills,
increased motor and appliance life, as well as surge and lightning protection for all of the
equipment inside of your house.
Residential customers throughout the United States and Canada see a realized savings of 8% -
10% minimum and as much as 30% on their electrical usage (and thus power bills).
The Power-Save 1200 is UL Listed and recognized by the Department of Energy; don't be fooled by
imitators!
How Does the Power-Save Unit Work?
The Power-Save reduces the amount of power drawn
from the utility by storing (in its capacitors) otherwise lost
electricity (watts) caused by the inductive motors in your home.
(Some examples of inductive motors are Air Conditioning units,
refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, pool pumps,
vacuum cleaners, furnace blower motors, fans etc.) The technology
applied by the Power-Save 1200™ Unit supplies that stored
electricity back to your inductive loads, thus causing you to
decrease your demand from the utility. If you decrease your demand
from the utility, your meter slows down, and you use less electricity.
The thought is, you’ve already paid for that electricity,
why pay for it and waste it when you can pay for it, store it,
and reuse it again. This whole process is called power factor
optimization.
Does the Power-Save 1200™ work in any
home?
Yes it does, as long as you have a circuit breaker panel with
breaker switches and not the old screw in type fuses, the unit
will work on any single-phase electric application for homes.
Will
the Power-Save affect any of my appliances
and their normal use?
No, if anything, your motors will run about 10% cooler, which
is good for a motor because heat is the enemy of a motor.
Is the Power-Save tested
and approved by independent labs?
Yes, the Power-Save 1200™ is UL listed and tested, and
has also been tested by the University of Santa Clara California’s
Electrical Engineering department, of which the results of that
test are available on our website. Also, the technology is recognized
by the U.S. Department of Energy.
How much can I expect to save
per month by using the Power-Save?
That depends on many factors. The size of your home, the amount
of inductive motor load, and the amount you are paying per kilowatt-hour
for electricity etc. However, generally speaking users of the
product have seen up to 25% in reduced consumption, but the average
savings is somewhere in the 15% to 20% range.
How long will it take for
the Power-Save to
pay for itself?
Generally about 6-12 months, but again, the same factors above
apply, some will see sooner (6 months), some will see later (12
months).
Is the Power-Save easy to Install?
We recommend installation by an electrician. The unit comes with
complete installation instructions. It installs in about 20-30
minutes.
How long will the Power-Save last?
It has a predicted lifespan of up to 20 years.
Why haven’t I heard of these product
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. Now, electric rates
are 8, 10, 12, 14, and 19 and in some cases New York City is
22 cents per Kwh, and Hawaii is 33.5 cents per Kwh. At the cheaper
rates the Power-Save didn’t make sense, but
at the current rates, it makes all the sense in the world.
What About Power-Save for Surge Protection?
The Power-Save also protects the entire home
against power surges. No longer a need for so many surge protectors
in the home. The US-1 provides a broad range of protection for
hardwired appliances and most home electronics such as televisions,
satellite equipment, entertainment systems, etc. The unit protects
from power line surges as well as spikes caused by internal wiring
problems, loose connections and fluctuating demand from large
motors such as appliances, vacuum cleaners, heating and cooling
equipment, etc.
Is the Power-Save 1200™ Unit Warranted? Is there a “Money
Back Guarantee”?
Yes, 5 year Manufacturers Warranty for full replacement.
Yes, 60-day money back guarantee. If in 60 days, you don’t
see reduction in usage on your electric bill, call us and let
us know, and we’ll give you details on how to return the
unit for a full refund of the purchase price. Installation cost
will not be refunded.
