If coping with energy bill is your problem every time you see your bills, here are several ways you can start implementing to lower your energy bill. First, I want to say that doing all the recommended actions below will certainly lower your energy bill - however, in this busy world, there is a low cost energy reduction solution that's more practical (turnkey) and does not require you to change your lifestyle drastically. You can see for yourself here: http://www.ultrapowersaver.com

Having said that, here are some of our recommended actions to lower your energy bill:




1) Provide good roof coating.
A good roof coating deflects heat. And so, insuring that the roof receives a good coating would mean insuring you that your house would maintain good temperature on the inside.
2) Secure all the leaks.
Leaks contribute to high cost of home energy. Why? It is because air from your house can easily come out from these leaks. And the air from the outside can easily enter the house. Both increase the workload of your heating and cooling system.
Making sure that the leaks are sealed would mean less work on your heating and cooling system and lower energy bills. Leaks would come from fireplaces, ducts, doors, ceilings, floors, walls, windows, plumbing penetrations, electrical outlets, fans, and vents.
3) Reduce the thermostat.
One degree centigrade is equivalent to 5% electric bill savings. Therefore, keeping your thermostat low will save you a lot of money. A total saving would also come from switching your thermostat further low when you are not home or if you are sleeping. The ideal temperature during winter is not higher than 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
4) Reduce the use of your water heater.
The second largest electric consumer next to your heating and cooling system is your water heater. When you wash you clothes, you don't need to heat the water up. Just use the water from the faucet. This will save you by as much as 90% in washing machine energy consumption.
5) Use energy efficient material around your home.
There are commercially available materials that would significantly contribute to the reduction of the cost of home energy. One of these is energy efficient windows (i.e. dual pane window) that deflect the outside temperature (whether during winter or summer) from entering your home.
6) Use your appliance efficiently.
It is pretty basic for all of us to turn off televisions, air conditioning, stereos and other electronic gadgets when not using them. However, most still disregard this. The reality is; we can save a lot if we only learn how to turn them off if not in use. Also, small things such as iPod chargers, cellphone chargers, digital clocks, lights and other things that seem to consume small electric current that remain plugged day in and day out contribute to your energy bill. Making sure you unplug them would certainly lower down your monthly electric consumption.

Hope this helps!

  • The device will be "working" when it will safe from 2000$ to 500-800$ . This is bullshit.

  • Hi Kia,

    I can't find what you stated in this video. No one in the video has ever said "The device will be working when it will safe from $2000 to $500-800". Sorry...better quote it right next time :)

see all

  • turn stuff off when not using at the wall , cook with lids ON ! use so much less power steam veg in pot , pre soak dirty clothes wash on very low temp hand wash socks , use your bicycle more helps me.

  • There is no such thing as a completely self contained device that can produce more power than it consumes (add power to the universe), or power your restaurant at the same levels using less energy from a little magic box. It's impossible, this is an old scam idea. There are million dollar prizes for such a device, that are unclaimed because they don't work & would violate the laws of physics. If your bill is lower, there are other reasons. Is your refer still as cold 24/7? How about your heat?

  • they are sisters!!!!!

  • If it was a stanby switch they would have learned quick that it turned the fridge off over night. So SCAMMMMMMM

  • @CoolMomma77 Im a science engineer and logic says you cant take 1 volt and get 2 volt coming out this type of logic is based on a physics principal which says you cant get more from less. Many scientist have spent lifetimes trying to figure out how this logic may be bent or swayed there is only one type of device which comes close to this and its a heating device which will be a source of steam fuel. in the future it works in a sonic manner and creates instant heated water.

  • Logic says this is not possible you cant get something from nothing so unless its some other source of power like a battery which would need still charging. Or a standby timer which wouldn't allow a fridge and other like appliances to work properly. Thing is.. It's scientifically imposable as you cant take 1 Volt and Get 2 volts out of it. So be very weary trust me i know science and this sort of thing is not passable if it were dont you think everyone would have one.

  • The website does not even work. I would want to have an update on how this is working for her now if she is still using it.

  • Not allegation. Fact. These devices are SCAMS Remember the old saying "if something looks too good to be true it probably is". Look at the other related videos on the right of this page and you will see that other people have pointed out why they don't work for solid electrical technical and physics reasons and that they are SCAMS. You have been advised/warned. I know of cases where people have been approached to invest $000's to become a "distributor" for these products. My advice - DON'T!

  • Hi Soccerboy,

    Can you tell me what your allegation is based on?

    I'm open to more information :)

  • BEWARE THESE PRODUCTS ARE SCAMS
