Compared with some, yours was a bargain Harry

unit should cost no more than £250 + VAT + installation.

I hope we are not getting at cross-purposes. As I said earlier:

The powertune electric saver which is the subject of this thread is not a V Phase!

The Powertune is a Power Factor correction device that does not save money.

The V Phase is completely different in that it lowers and controls the voltage in the house. That can save money for a few items - fridges etc which will work on 220 volts. However in a household the savings will not justify the cost of fitting in most cases.

thanks all but the person who has a key meter still claims they are saving £4 a week and thats still the case now so could be evan more when the dark nites kick in

However the Freezer(put to fast freeze) gave readings of 110w and 137va with a PF of 0.81!

sounds right VA * PF gives watts (so 137*0.81 = 110)

Hi Everyone...

Ref Power Tune, which I purchased recently from FuelSaver(N.I)..the reason for the £150 cost is due to extra
socket which the company installs which i'm told is the proper way to have the unit installed..

It was explained to me that there is a full money back guarantee and not everyone gets good results due to appliances
on site, PF etc..

Hi Every one ...

Ref VPhase - I know a friend of mine who has had one of these units
installed came with a free installation 5 year warranty life span + 25 yrs...Ofgem approved and I see British Gas is involved ...i'll see how
my friend gets on as he has a high electricity bill...looks good!

GOOD!
Why should the rich, and venture capitalists get a decent investment, paid for substantially by the poorest, who can't benefit from it?

FIT should be - at least - halved, if not more, and community scale - not rooftop - schemes pushed, as these are vastly cheaper.
