VPhase plc will be exhibiting its domestic voltage optimisation device at Ecobuild 2011. It is the latest, smart way to help homeowners make immediate and significant money, energy and carbon savings across the whole home; all without changing their lifestyle or supplier.
The low-cost VPhase unit, which was heralded ‘Innovative Residential/Domestic Product of the Year’ at the recent Electrical Industry Awards, uses voltage optimisation to reduce and stabilise the incoming voltage to homes, managing it to a stable level of around 220V in the UK. The result is reductions to electricity costs of around 10%, reduced wasted energy and carbon savings that have been calculated to be at least 4 tonnes over the 25+ year life of the product.
VPhase CEO, Rick Smith comments: “Ecobuild is the perfect platform to showcase our award-winning energy saving green product, which holds wide appeal to ‘eco’ and ‘cash’ conscious consumers and developers as well as electricians looking to add value to their customer offerings.
“Voltage optimisation technology has been saving large companies millions each year, but VPhase is the first company to make this technology available to the domestic market in a suitably sized and priced package. The ‘fit, forget and save’ VPhase device delivers significant, tangible savings and as a result, is quickly becoming recognised as the next ‘must-have’ green investment for the home.
The company is currently bolstering its marketing initiatives to consumers with the launch of its new interactive website and television advertising campaign that commences on Christmas Eve and runs into the New Year. It has also signed an agreement with one of Europe’s fastest growing suppliers of renewable energy systems and related services, Eaga Heating Services Limited, for the nationwide supply of the device.
To date, VPhase has completed a number of independent trials of the unit, including North West-based housing association, Great Places Housing Group and 50 Scottish and Southern Electric (SSE) customer homes under the UK Government’s Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT) scheme, to determine the lifetime carbon dioxide savings of the device.
Electrical installers have also been benefiting from free workshops across the country to demonstrate a step-by-step installation of the voltage optimisation device and provide expert technical advice.
VPhase can be easily installed by a qualified electrician and the best time to fit the device is when fitting a new consumer unit, providing the perfect platform for electricians looking to add value. The VPhase unit is maintenance free and comes with a 5 year warranty. Visit vphase.co.uk or call 0845 003 8235 for more details.
