News: VO4HOME passes electrical test

By

A recent research report carried out by RWE npower has concluded that an installation of the VO4HOME voltage optimisation solution, developed in Rotherham, could help reduce domestic electricity consumption.

VO4HOME is designed to maximise the delivery of energy into the home to 220V/230V. Currently the voltage supplied to homes by UK energy companies averages 242V, while electrical equipment in the home is designed to operate on 220V/230V.

The RWE Npower research showed that using the VO4HOME system, resulted in a 12% reduction in kWh electricity consumption, for a typical five bedroom detached residential property. The reduction equates to an annual electricity saving of approximately 600kWh, resulting in cost saving of £90 per annum and a CO2 emissions saving of 330kg per annum.

Geoff Clifton, business development manager at VO4HOME, said: "We have developed a product that will have a huge impact on the amount of carbon emitted by households across the UK.

"With a VO4HOME installed households can make tangible savings on their annual electricity bill, whilst helping to save the environment."

The Templeborough company has recently returned from a successful Ecobuild 2011 where they managed to establish many new leads, with housing associations, local authorities, house-builders photovoltaic installers, electrical engineers and end users. All of which are becoming ever more keen to identify easy to implement solutions for reducing energy consumption in the home.

Geoff added: "We are noticing a great deal of interest in our system, which was evidenced not only by the number of people that visited our stand, but also by the number of telephone calls we have been receiving since returning to the office."
