WHAT is it they say – if something sounds too good to be true, it normally is? Well, it seems we’ve found the exception.
Saving energy not only helps the environment by conserving precious fossil fuels and reducing emissions, it also cuts your bills, saving money every month.
But all too often it seems that you have to spend money to save anything, paying for expensive gadgets to help cut your outgoings.
That is, until now. We have some great gadgets to give away for free. All we’re asking is that you use them, and contribute to helping make a cleaner, greener future.
The first gadget is an intelligent energy saving plug, which turns your appliances off standby in one easy click, via your remote control.
The plug can be used with an individual piece of equipment such as a TV or with a number of pieces connected via a multi- socket unit plugged into the unit.
The unit is controlled by your existing TV remote control (or any infra red remote control). You can select the desired button you wish to use on your remote control and the unit will learn and remember it. This would usually be the on/off button, so that the unit operates when you turn off the TV.
Leaving items on standby wastes energy and money, so start thinking 'savings' not ‘standby’ with a free energy saving plug and you could save up to £20 on your energy bills.
Our second gadget is a water widget, which fits into a normal shower.
One fifth of a household's carbon footprint already comes just from heating water, so this device turns your shower into an eco-shower and saves money on your energy and water bill.
It takes less than five minutes to fit and reduces the amount of water used by up to 70%. For an average sized three- bedroom house this could result in a saving of up to £80 off your annual bill.
FREE energy saving products worth £30
Save up to £100* per year on your energy bills for the price of a stamp. We have two, easy to install energy saving products worth £30 to give away.
The UK is leading the way in reducing its carbon emissions. The government would like everyone to do their bit as part of the Carbon Emissions Reduction Target and in support of this scheme we have teamed up with Lime to offer two free energy saving products to get you started.
FREE Energy Saving Plug
This intelligent plug turns your appliances off standby in one easy click via your remote control. Using the energy saving plug to shutdown multiple appliances can result in savings of up to £20.
