Start using these no-cost energy saving tips energy saving ideas around your home and measure the reduction in your next few energy bills. The more you apply the more you'll save.

Heating Tips
•Set your heating to go off 30 minutes before you leave the house, and come on again 30 minutes before you expect to return.
•Turn the room thermostat down by 1 degree. This can save you around €50 a year.
•Make sure your radiators are not obstructed by curtains or furniture.
•Draw your curtains at dusk to help keep the heat generated inside your rooms.
•Insulate your loft space and consider cavity wall insulation too.

Electrical Appliances
•Use energy efficient light bulbs which use less energy and last up to ten times longer than standard bulbs.
•Turn off household appliances such as microwaves, TVs, videos, music systems, and computers when not in use, as they continue to use energy when they are left on standby. Washing Machines, Tumble Dryers and Dishwashers
•Use a low temperature setting and only wash full loads or use a half-load or economy programme.
•In summer, dry your clothes outside rather than using a tumble dryer.
•When drying your clothes indoors, use a clothes rail instead of a radiator as this stops the heat from reaching the rest of the room.
•Modern dishwashers use less energy and water than washing up by hand.
Cooking
•Use a pan which is the same size as the cooker ring to prevent heat loss.
•Use a lid on saucepans where possible, so the contents heat up faster and require less energy.
•Consider using pressure cookers, steamers and microwaves which use less energy.

Hot Water
•When using a kettle, only boil as much water as you need.
•If you live in a hard water area, limescale can effect the efficiency of your kettle. Look out for a buildup of limescale in your kettle and treat with vinegar or descaling solutions.
•Consider turning the thermostat on your hot water tank down to 60 degrees centigrade which is a comfortable temperature for most people and will save on your heating costs.
•If you have a standard shower it will use around 40% of the water required for a bath.

Save money on your electricity bill TODAY

How much is your yearly electricity bill? You might as well just burn the money and save time. With our new Electricity Reduction Devices (ERD's) you can save up to 15% on you bill TODAY.

stop wasting money todat

Imagine getting your electricity bill and being able to open it and not get a complete shock. With our proven technology that completely conforms to all European electricity regulations.

There are many different types of electrical equipment which affect the electricity supply in different ways. Some electrical loads have a bad power factor, which results in higher electrical current flowing than is necessary to achieve the end result, irrespective of whether that is heating, lighting, mechanical power, ventilation, etc.

This means more generators and a heavier distribution network is required, the results of which is YOU the user have to pay for it all.

Power Factor can be regarded as a measure of “efficiency and has values ranging from 0 to 1, where 1 is 100% efficient. The equipment improves this “efficiency” so that less electrical current is needed to achieve the same result. A wide variety of products are available to do this, some of which operate automatically, in order to compensate for varying electrical loads which are common in today’s manufacturing plants and offices.
Your Electricity Bills

All industrial and commercial electricity users have to pay for the energy they use. The bills that you receive are based on a number of factors:

KWH Units
Climate Change Levy (CCL)
Maximum Demand
Availability Charge
Reactive Power

You are always charged for the first two, and often pay for one or more of the others – it all depends upon the tariff that you are on.

Companies with high electrical loads often have a reduced power factor. A low power factor can cause undesirable effects such as increased electricity costs charged by their supplier.

Cooler Vests - Personal Air-Conditioning

Stay cool in the heat with our cooling vests

This amazing device can be used by sportsmen, workmen, people working outside, hunters of for those who wish to stay cool in the midday heat.

 

Cooler Vests

 

Cooiling Vests

We offer a wide range of climate control products for construction workers, Sports Men and Women, Motorcycling, Walkers, Hunters, Children, Emergency Response, Horse riding and Horses, Outdoor Recreation, Military, Pets and Therapeutic markets and body who works or goes outside.  

When dipped in water, the cooling vest activates the cooling process by charging the fibers with moisture and creating an environment for evaporation. When moisture evaporates, heat is removed and cools the surrounding area, transferring the cooling effect to the wearer.

Depending upon the environment this cooling could last up to 8 hours and will give 10 °C / 15 °C cooling relief, and can be recharged again by simply immersing the product in water to restart the cooling process.

Protecting the environment by protecting your CDs

Eliminate scratched video game & DVD disks for ever


It isn’t perhaps the most groundbreaking news story that reveals persistently replacing ruined CDs can be painfully damaging to one’s bank balance. However, less obvious is the damaging impact that a single chip or small scratch to the shiny side of a disc has on the environment.

CDs and DVDs are made from materials including polycarbonate plastic, petroleum-based lacquer and paints, aluminum and other metals. These materials release chemicals that contribute to environmental and health problems as well as global warming, both when they are produced and when they are destroyed.

The chemical used in CD cases, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), is especially damaging to the environment. It often contains a variety of additives, including lead, making it is the least recyclable, and least recycled, of the major plastics. The Environment Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that less than one percent of post-consumer PVC is recovered or reprocessed. That means the remaining 99% either ends up in landfills or is incinerated, a process that releases damaging dioxins into the air.

Attaching d-skin disc protectors to your CDs, DVDs, games and data immediately eliminates the wasteful and costly need to replace ruined discs. Additional damage is then cut further through the removal of having to back-up data onto blank discs. And if that wasn’t enough the skins themselves are packaged in recycled metal containers specifically designed to be used again as CD carriers. Thus negating the need for harmful post-consumer PVC cases.

There is an ever-increasing awareness by individuals and companies of the need to reduce polluting practices. Protecting your discs with d-skin should be seen as a very small but potentially significant step in the right direction.
