How much are you likely to save?
Savings and Payback are highly dependent on a number of different factors and it is difficult to give a conclusive percentage saving, as savings depend on a number of factors:-
1. The type and number of devices connected.
2. The usage patterns of your PC of TV. If you use a PC for 4 hours a day then you get 20 hours of standby savings. If you use a PC for 20 hours a day you get 4 hours of standby savings.
3. The cost of power – this varies state by state. In certain markets consumers can elect to purchase “green power” at a much higher rate – this obviously increases the energy savings in Rands terms and shortens the payback period.
