The Mercury Remote Control Mains Socket Set – say goodbye to standby and save up to £37.
What does the Mercury Remote Control Mains Socket Set do?
The Mercury Remote Control Mains Socket Set allows you to banish standby and take control of energy-guzzling devices by switching them off at the mains by remote control.
There are five Mercury Sockets in a pack, which are all operated by one remote control.
You plug them into the socket on the wall and then plug your TV, DVD player etc into the Mercury Sockets. Then, with the press of a button on the remote, you can turn your appliances right off, rather than leaving them to waste electricity on standby.
How much could the Mercury Remote Control Mains Socket Set save you?
The average household wastes around £37* a year by leaving things on stand-by, which could be eliminated with the Remote Control Socket Set.
*Based on average figures calculated by the Energy Saving Trust and DEFRA, using a household electricity consumption of 4015kWh per year at 13.95p/kWh.
Why we like the Mercury Remote Control Mains Socket Set:
It’s really simple to use and install – all you need to do is plug it in.
There are five in a pack, so you can say goodbye to standby on multiple appliances (your TV, stereo, DVD player etc).
It could pay for itself in the savings you make on your electricity bill in less than a year.
The remote control has a range of 30m and will even work through walls.
How does the remote control socket system work?
To control a socket, you must have your device plugged into a remote control socket in turn plugged into a mains socket. These devices will then turn on and off via the remote control.
Are there any devices you can’t use it with?
The lead has a maximum current of 13A and so can be used with any domestic appliance with this rating. It is advisable not to use the Extension Socket with devices that need to be left on i.e. refrigerators.
Will it cut my carbon footprint?
Probably not. Despite the energy you’ll save by using this product, this is unlikely to be enough to cover the amount of carbon produced in manufacturing and shipping it.
