ElectricSaver1200
Reclaim energy wasted during normal electrical processes and lower your electric bills, increase the life of your appliances and motors, protect your home from power surges, and reduce the amount of toxic air pollution generated by the electricity used to power your home. You are billed for this lost energy by your energy company, but are not able to use it. This device stores this otherwise lost energy and releases it when needed by the various electrical demands in your home. Just one device serves your entire home. I think this is such a great idea for saving resources and reducing pollution that I bought one for my own home. It was easy for a handyman to install, too.
