Belkin Surge Protector - Unplug and Save Money on Your Electric Bill

This post is a part of Fight Back Friday at Food Renegade. Visit Food Renegade for more ideas and tips from other Real Foodies.

A while back, I posted about how you can save money on your electric bill by unplugging things around your house.

Shortly after I posted that article, I got an email from Belkin, with an offer to send me their super cool Conserve Surge Protector to test out.

It arrived in the mail and I am so excited to set it up! This is going to make it so easy to turn off all our computers and junk in the office. I’m sure this is really going to reduce our electricity bill.

According to Belkin:

  • Most home electronics continue to use energy, even when you’ve turned them off.
  • This wasted energy is called “standby power,” which adds up fast and impacts the environment.
  • Belkin’s Conserve Energy-Saving Surge Protector makes it easy for you to reduce this standby power.

And check this out:

The California Energy Commission estimates standby power losses in the average household to be as much as 15% of household electricity use.

Say you’re spending $100/month on electricity. By unplugging, you could save as much as $15 per month, or $180 per year. That’s more money you could be saving — or spending on real food!

What I’m most excited about is the remote control. You can just mount it on a wall. Then, at the end of the day, when you’re done working, you can simply push one button and turn off all your computers, printers, fax machines, and what-have-you.

Even better, there are two outlets that are for “always on” devices:

With this handy remote control, you can completely shut off the power to devices that consume standby power, such as TVs or computer monitors, when you are done using them. Two “always-on” outlets allow you to leave devices that typically need to stay on, such as set-top boxes or modems.

This way we can unplug our TV, VCR, Playstation, and Wii when we’re not using them — but leave the Tivo on so it can keep recording our shows.

I love it!!!

    i’d love to have one of these for a couple reasons. first, obviously to conserve energy, and to reduce all the emfs around me. and second, just as importantly, to be able to spend that money that i save on life giving foods and green lifestyle. in the past year or so, i have completely turned my eating habits around, after eating the SAD for about 38 years, and even thought it costs a bit more and takes more time in the kitchen, it has been completely worth it, eating non processed, vibrant, nutritionally dense foods, like organic grass fed meat, organic pastured raw dairy, raw fermented CLO, butter oil, organic fruits, veggies, sprouted nuts, grains, and seeds. i’ve been subscribing to cheeseslave for a while and i’m loving it!!!

I have been unplugging for awhile now, each device one by one from room to room, and then find that I have to plug many back in the next day this would be perfect, I could leave the alarm clock as an always on device so I don’t miss appointments in an effort to reduce electricity bills!

    I would LOVE to win the Belkin Conserve Power Surge Protector! First of all, you can never seem to have enough power surge protectors. But most importantly, I am very interested in the fact that this particular protector has a conserve option. I am constantly trying to find new ways to save energy…and be a little greener.
    Thanks so much!

    After you wrote another post about conserving energy by unplugging, I told my husband, and he jumped on the band wagon. But we have another family living with us in our house, and they don’t always turn things off… I wonder if having an easy off button like this would help make it even easier for them to jump on the band wagon.

    Talk about timing…our public utility raised their rates by just over 5 percent in January and with the cold weather here in the Pacific Northwest we managed to log up bills of $199, $156 and God only knows what for March since the first of the year. Not a yawning big house or even kids who forget to turn off the lights…just a two bedroom all electric apartment. So I could really use this one.

    I really need this because I have so many things that are using electricity because I don’t unplug them at night. Between monitors, printers, and TVs I could probably save quite a lot by having this to power them completely off.

    Thanks for the giveaway…The power strip I use is mounted behind my desk, next to the wall, between a bookcase; I turn it off when I am not at my desk (desk lamp transformer, computer, cell phone charger, phone, printer, etc.) but it requires me to get on my knees or contort my body in a yoga pose to press the switch. A power strip with a remote would be a welcome addition to my home office, and save me the backache.
