JUST PLUG IT IN TO ANY WALL OUTLET IN YOUR HOME, TURN IT ON, AND BEGIN SAVING ENERGY & MONEY - IS THERE A BETTER COMBINATION? An exciting and innovative new product that saves homeowners money by reducing power consumption in homes by 10% and more. The POWERGARD reduces the amount of power drawn from the Utility Company by storing (in capacitors) otherwise lost electricity caused by inductive motors in home appliances (examples of inductive motors are air conditioning units, refrigerators, dishwashers, vacuum cleaners, fans, etc.) and capacitive equipment (televisions, PCs, printers, etc.) This results in an improved power factor of your appliances and equipment. (See below for Dept. of Energy article on why this is important.) The POWERGARD greatly contributes to reducing carbon in the environment by using power that would otherwise be wasted. It is an earth friendly product that helps energy conservation while saving money for the household. In a matter of seconds, anyone can simply plug the unit into any wall outlet, turn it on, and start saving money. It is suitable for use in houses, condominiums, apartments, shops, restaurants, offices, small factories.
