Energy Saving Devices for Smart Homeowners

Electronic devices used in the house now function beyond making homemakers' lives easy -- these gadgets have actually become tools to help save energy, and in effect, the environment.

Innovatronix, a Filipino-owned company that has been making innovations in the field of electronics for over 15 years, is now offering energy-saving devices for the homeowner. Innovatronix products offer simple yet significant functions that could spell big savings for the household budget -- truly a home investment that shouldn't be missed!

These devices were developed to help homeowners regulate electricity consumption when it comes to using appliances that have become house staples, but also demands high power -- spelling high electricity bills! These appliances range from refrigerators, airconditioning units and others. Aside from savings, these gadgets help maintain appliances by protecting them from damages brought by sudden power surges or brownouts.



One such product is the Tronix Power On Delay (POD10). Brownouts, power failures and severe voltage fluctuations can damage electrical and electronic appliances, but with the Tronix POD10 device, one doesn't have to worry about sudden power surges. The POD10 protects homes and offices equipments by delaying electrical connection for about four to six minutes until the power stabilizes. Appliances with compressors need at least two minutes for their pressure to equalize, and with the device, refrigerators, freezers, TV sets, audio systems and fax machines are sure to be in no danger of being damaged by these power surges.

Next on the list is the Ref Clock Saver (RCS) -- an electronic device that can generate a low-power consumption for refrigerators and improve the on-off cycle for a smoother temperature regulation. The savings is based on the preferred time setting of savings mode. This device can cut the refrigerator's power consumption to almost half than the usual monthly use -- spelling big savings! This device is also equipped with a power-on delay feature. The RCS has an on-off cycle of eight minutes to 52 minutes.



For air-conditioning units, Tronix ACT 20 is most recommended. With the use of a timer and a power on delay, it manages the aircon’s ON cycle and protects appliances from power surge caused by brownouts. Aircon units can be set to turn on from one to nine hours or continuous on. It has a fan outlet that turns on the electric fan when the timer lapses. It is recommended for window-type airconditioners rated at 2HP and below. This way, homeowners can time usage of the aircon without having to constantly worry of over-using it, and the convenience brought by its timer and fan-outlet features.

If you are looking for a sensor activated device for your lighting fixtures – the Tronix Automatic Night Light (ANL) would do the job. It is a heavy-duty sensor that automatically turns on the CFL in the evening when the surrounding turns dark, and turns off on its own during daytime. This cutting-edge device make for a very efficient evening light as one doesn't have to grasp around the dark just to look for a switch -- avoiding bump accidents. The ANL uses a light sensor switch of about 5mm in diameter, and since it's fully capable of rotating in any direction, it's very easy to use when placed anywhere in the house. Simply use a CFL of up to 60 watts, and at P390 per unit, the ANL is definitely a steal.
