Energy Efficiency Throughout Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire

With the cost of electricity going through the roof and the constant reminder to reduce our carbon footprint, we at RCS Electrical Services are constantly on the lookout for energy efficient products. Below are a few of the products we supply and install for a wide customer base.

Intelli-Heat Central Heating System

We are the Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire distributors/installers of the INTELLI-HEAT central heating system. Available as supply only or supply and install

The Intelli-Heat system is an efficient electrical central heating system utilising thermo dynamic fluid technology and state-of-the-art remote control programming options. Ideal for the replacement of oil-fired and LPG installations, outdated inefficient storage heaters, new builds, extensions, conservatories, mobile homes etc. With vastly reduced installation costs, ultimate zone controllability. This system offers an efficient, controllable, clean and virtually maintenance free heating installation from as little as £2500 fully installed with your old system taken out (cost taken from a recent heater replacement).

The 8to5 Energy Saving Lighting System

With lighting being the main consumer of electricity in the retail, office and factory environments, we have sourced an energy efficient equivalent to fluorescent lighting. A system that will in most cases cut usage by 50%, which can mean savings of thousands of pounds in the larger factory premises.

This doesn’t involve changing any light fittings. All we have to do is convert your existing light fittings to the energy efficient system. With lamps that have 5 times the life of a normal fluorescent tube.

A brief visit to your premises would enable us to use our software programme to calculate not only the cost of doing the work but the savings you will make and the time it will take to realise a return on your investment. www.8to5energysaver.co.uk

LED Lighting

Today there are literally millions of halogen GU10 and MR16 lighters down fitted in both domestic and commercial environments. And yet the savings that can be made on both electrical consumption and bulb replacement costs can be mind-boggling. To give an example: a GU10 halogen bulb uses a hefty 50 watts, whereas its LED equivalent uses only 4. That's a massive 92% saving in consumption, with an LED lasting over 10 times the life of a halogen bulb.

We would only require a brief visit to your premises, or you could simply tell us how many downlights you have, and our PC software will calculate the cost to replace, savings made per annum and a likely time span to realise a return on your investment. We're confident that once you're presented with the facts, the decision will be easy.

VPhase Voltage Optimiser

What is VPhase?

VPhase is the smart new way to cut your energy costs immediately without changing your supplier or your lifestyle.

By reducing and managing the voltage coming into your home, office or shop etc, a VPhase device will ensure many of your electrical appliances use less electricity and therefore cost less to run. It will also lower your carbon emissions.

The device is simple to install by a qualified electrician and requires no maintenance. It’s simply a matter of fit, forget and save instantly!

Installing a VPhase is very similar to topping up loft insulation in terms of the cost to install and investment return. Savings of up to £80 a year off average electricity bills have been demonstrated. According to back-to-back tests a VPhase device will save a massive 17% of the energy used by fridges and freezers, 15% by traditional light bulbs and even energy saving light bulbs can save 10%.

Please note the amount of energy saved will depend on the incoming voltage and the type of appliances in the house.

The voltage coming into your home is typically around 245V in the UK, but many of your appliances will actually work more efficiently and use less electricity at a much lower voltage. The VPhase device reduces this voltage and maintains it at 220V, saving you energy and money as a result. Large companies have been saving millions for years using this technology, but it’s not been available to homeowners and small businesses until now.

Once installed, it will deliver immediate savings across the whole home and you can still enjoy the benefits of your household appliances, as VPhase will work without you having to change your lifestyle. Visit www.vphase.com for more information.
