The POWERGARD is a new, innovative device
that filters the supply voltage while improving the efficiency and
power factor of the electricity consumed in a home by electrical
appliances. Its purpose is to save wasted electricity in homes,
condominiums, small offices and apartments.
The POWERGARD does not consume electrical
energy. You can use it 24 hours a day all year round without
increasing electricity expenses.
The amount of energy that can be saved
depends on factors such as the type of electrical appliances used
(i.e. air conditioning, garbage disposal unit..), the amount of
electricity used and even the location of the home. Homes near
shops, restaurants and light industries, where voltage supply is
unstable and may fluctuate, will see higher savings.
In addition to extending the life span of
appliance motors, the POWERGARD also reduces the reactive power
generated by inductive loads. This helps utility companies by
eliminating interference to the community power supply.
The POWERGARD is a next generation device
that has been professionally tested and checked for compliance
with International Safety Standards.
Why haven’t I heard
of this product until now?
First, this generation of product is new
to the market. Also, until recently, electric rates
throughout Canada and the U.S. were low, costing about 2, 3, or 4
cents per kilowatt hour. Now, rising electric rates are 8, 10, 14,
and in some cases a much higher KWH rate. At lower KWH rates,
interest in the POWERGARD was poor, but at the current high rates
and growing concern for the environment, there is a renewed
interest in energy conservation and the POWERGARD.
How Does the
POWERGARD unit work?
The POWERGARD reduces the amount of power
drawn from the utility by storing it (in its capacitors) otherwise
lost electricity (watts) caused by the inductive motors in your
home. (Some examples of inductive motors are air conditioning
units, refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, pool
pumps, vacuum cleaners, furnace blower motors, fans
etc.)
The POWERGARD technology supplies that
stored electricity back to the inductive loads of the house
causing the home to require less electricity from the utility.
This causes a decrease in demand from the utility.
When there is a decrease in the demand
from the utility, the meter slows down coinciding with less use of
electricity. When you have already paid for that electricity, why
waste it when you can store it, and reuse it again. This whole
process is called power factor optimization.
Why use
POWERGARD?
All electrical equipment and appliances
become less efficient over time. As they age, they consume more
power in order to deliver the same service, hence the higher
electricity bills. Since there are many appliances in every
household, each with different power and current requirements,
this affects the voltage and current consumption. Unstable supply
voltages increase in resistance due to wire size and poor power
supply which may result in power loss. The POWERGARD is designed
to compensate for those inefficiencies.
Does the POWERGARD
work in any home?
Yes, simply plug the POWERGARD in any
power outlet and start saving money. The unit is specifically
designed to work for single phase service.
Can the POWERGARD
negatively impact appliances?
NO. In fact, by reducing the amount of
power consumed by the household appliances, the motors in those
appliances will run about up to 10% cooler; prolonging their
lifespan.
Is the POWERGARD
tested and approved?
Yes! The POWERGARD is UL listed and
tested, also CE certified for Europe and cULus for
Canada.
How much can I expect
to save per month by using the POWERGARD?
That depends on many factors; the size of
your home, the amount of inductive motor load, and the amount you
are paying per kilowatt-hour for electricity. It's not unusual for
users of the product to see up to 10% and more in reduced
consumption.
How long will it take
for the POWERGARD to pay for itself?
Generally about 6-12 months although the
same factors above apply; some will see the payback in 6 months
and some in a year or more.
Is the POWERGARD easy
to install?
Unlike older versions of this product,
you do not need a qualified technician or electrician to install
the POWERGARD. Simply plug it into a wall outlet and turn it on.
How many units would I require?
For
any normal apartment, house or small office you just
need to install one unit; two units if you use 1800 KWH
or more per month.
Is there a Manufacturer's
Warranty?
The
Manufacturer's Warranty is limited to the terms set forth in the
Warranty Certificate card included in the unit packaging. If
claiming under the warrant provision, the POWERGARD must be
returned in the original box with the Warranty Certificate
card. If a claim is made within 90 days of order, a full refund
(less shipping and handling) or a replacement unit (plus shipping
and handling) will be made to the purchaser.
Between
90 and 365 days, a replacement unit only will be afforded under
the Warranty, upon receipt of the
original product.
Is there a guarantee?
Not only does it come with a 1
year Manufacturer’s Warranty*, it also has our 90 day money back
guarantee* (*certain conditions apply). The purchaser will be
responsible for any shipping and handling costs, if applicable,
under the conditions listed in the answer of
the previous question.
How long
will the POWERGARD last?
It has a planned
lifespan of up to 10 years.
