A brand new low cost technology has been launched which can give householders immediate and significant savings on their electricity bills and a reduction in carbon emissions, without any change to their lifestyle.
The VPhase unit has been developed by VPhase, part of Energetix Group, in conjunction with Liverpool University. It uses voltage optimisation technology which simply manages incoming voltage into the home and keeps it at a constant lower level saving you money. Although voltage optimisation has been available to commercial users for some years, this is the first time that this technology is available to homeowners and small businesses.
The power distribution network has traditionally operated at 240V but is often higher. Data collected by VPhase currently shows an average across the UK of 247V. However, many electrical appliances will work more efficiently and use less electricity at a much lower voltage, normally 220V. If every household in the UK used voltage optimisation to reduce electricity consumption, and a typical home could save carbon emissions of 270kg every year, this would be the equivalent of taking 2.3 million cars off the road.
The VPhase unit is fitted next to a fuse box and operates on socket outlets and lighting circuits. The amount of energy saved will vary depending on the incoming voltage and type of appliances in the house. The unit is designed and manufactured within the UK and must be installed by a qualified electrician.
