Benefits of using a smart outlet

Would you like to save 15-20% on your electricity bills due to energy monitoring and managing the power consumption? Have you ever had to return home to turn off the iron? Or to repair your appliances that “burned up” due to voltage surges? Connecting your appliances to a smart outlet will help solve these and many other issues.

+ Energy monitoring and managing power consumption

To reduce your electricity bill by 15-20%, use a smart outlet for powering the appliances that account for most of your monthly electricity consumption: water heater (48 kW), refrigerator (28.8 kW), washing machine (25.5 kW), TV (22.5 kW), vacuum cleaner (19.71 kW), iron (16.5 kW) and other home appliances, such as teapot, crockpot, blow dryer (the total monthly power consumption of small appliances is 30 kW).

By programming your appliances or simply by switching them off remotely, you will cut your utility bills. For example, you can program you water heater to switch on at night when the electricity rate is lower, so that you can have hot water in the morning. If the water heater is installed in a summer house or cottage that you only visit in the summer or on weekends, then it can be off while you are gone, and you can turn it on remotely just several hours before you arrive.

+ Comfort and care for you nearest and dearest/Remote control of appliances

The sudden thought that you left the iron on is a thing of the past – no more rushing back home from an important meeting, from the airport or your date. Now you can check your appliances and turn off the forgotten iron using a mobile app. Also, you can turn on an electric heater, e.g., when your children are home alone. You can turn off the lights remotely after your kids fall asleep, if they are afraid of going to bed in the dark. You can program the timer to activate the heater or air conditioner by the time you return home from work, or your coffee machine in the morning. The Power Link smart outlet has protective caps shutters, so it's safe for children.

+ Protection of expensive equipment from voltage surges

In many locations, the power grids are obsolete, they can’t cope with high loads, especially when many people at the same time turn on their air conditioners in summer or electric heaters in winter. Appliances can suffer from voltage surges.

Statistically, one out of three fires in apartment buildings starts due to voltage surges. The problem is that the combustion is often detected too late, and extinguishing starts as late as within 9 minutes. Cases of extinguishing a fire at early stages are rare. It takes firemen at least 12 additional minutes to cope with the fire. This is enough time to burn up the whole room. Additionally, most unrestorable equipment failures occur due to power interruptions. In any case, buying a smart outlet is more economical than replacing a refrigerator, TV or washing machine that cost at least 10 times more than the outlet.

A smart outlet will protect your equipment from failures, since it responds to power surges automatically. A special circuit breaker trips when voltage goes up or down beyond the thresholds, thus preventing failure of the connected appliance. After the surge, the outlet returns to the normal mode automatically.

+ The safety kid

The Power Link smart outlet has childproof protective caps. The caps will remain closed even if your child tries to insert a finger or pencil into the outlet.

Also these caps provide protection from moisture and dust to extend the service life of your appliances.
