It was on the news that our
electric bill will increase this month due to increase in generation charge.
Finally, last week, I received our Meralco Billing (November 16-December 15)
and was surprised that our bill increases by about 500 pesos for a 10-kWh additional
consumption. Mommy always reminds everyone at home to unplug any electrical
appliances at home when not in use since it still consumes electricity. I know
that this is not enough so we need to looks for other ways to save on our
electricity consumption
One of our colleagues
mentioned before that they are using a power corrector device to reduce not
directly on the price to be paid but on the power consumption. Once the power
consumption was reduced, the price follows. Wala
naman kasi tayong magagawa pagdating sa presyo ng kuryente. According to
him, even they used welding machine during their house renovation, their power
consumption was not that high compared to the previous one.
I told Mommy about it and last
Saturday, we purchased the said corrector device - the Extreme Power Saver V3
at Ace Hardware.

| “The Extreme Power Saver V3 is a device that recycles the partial waste generated by inductive or motorized home appliances such as Air Conditioners, electric fans, Water Pumps, Washing Machines, Etc. the recycled electrical power is then fed back to the same circuit at the same time thus reducing the need for fresh electrical power.” |
Installation is very easy.
No need for any electrical wirings just plug the unit to any wall outlet and
you’re done. To maximize the device’s efficiency, the manufacturer recommends
to plug this alone or together with a very low power consuming device. Just in
our case, I placed it where our router was plugged too.
The device is quite
expensive but if this really works, try to think on the return of investment.
Just like I told to Mommy, “Sigurado,
ilang months lang, bawi na ung pinambili natin sa matitipid natin sa bayad
kuryente.”
This holiday season, I was
expecting that our electricity consumption will increase. So let us see if the device
will work on that. I will post an update after I received my next billing.
By the way, we purchased
the device on sale at 1799.75 pesos (regular 1999.75) with one month unit
replacement warranty (in case not working) and lifetime service warranty.
How about you, what are the
things you used to reduce your electricity consumption?
