The Verve system consists of easily attached, lightweight wireless switches (in- stead of traditional hard- wired models) placed in any desired location around the home. The switches produce enough power with each click to send a short radio signel to the central hub (shown inset). This hub can be programmed to con- trol up to ten outlets or electrical devices in the home. What’s more, the switches are re-programmable and magnetic, mean- ing they can be moved for convenience throughout the life of the home. Demonstrating operation of the Verve system is Dianne Pisarek, president of Masco Technological Innovations. For more information visit www.vervelivingsystems.com or circle Reader Service No. 65. The new EcoPower 4 By Health 2U Technologies has been redesigned to enable mounting inside a wall rather than in a container next to the electrical circuit breaker box. This box area is where electric- ity enters the home from the power company. The main pur- pose of the device is to reduce infl ow of excess electricity and utilize only what is needed. In- stalled in one home in Califor- nia in one month the unit saved 24.1% of the electrical bill and for several months it averaged out savings of 18.8% of the electrical cost for the home. The device also prevents electrical surges from entering your home which can be damaging to electrical appliances. The unit also protects the home from lightening strikes. It carries a 10-year warranty, is UL listed and recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy.
