Using one or more energy-saving devices as a renter can help reduce your electricity bill by 20%.
Our home devices and appliances sip power from our outlets, even when they are turned off or in
stand-by mode – an EcoSwitch is the ideal solution – flick one switch and everything plugged into
one power strip turns off properly, saving energy and money.
A Solar Charger tops off batteries for your phone or tablet without drawing on the electrical grid.
A Smart Plug is great for charging devices like phones and computers – the smart plug shuts off the
power when your device is charged, saving untold amounts of electricity with you when you travel.
All these devices are portable, and can be taken with you when you move.
