Energy Saving Week – October 2008

Energy Saving Week - October 2008Energy Saving Week is 20th to 26th October this year. Did you know that if everybody in the UK switched their appliances off completely at night, instead of leaving them on standby, it would save £900 million* in electricity bills per year – plus a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions!

Trouble is, last thing at night, it just seems too much effort to bend down to switch off the TV and satellite box. So we simply hit ‘standby’ on the remote control and head off for bed.

To make it easy for you – One For All has launched the Energy Saver remote control that switches off all you’re A/V equipment completely, by pressing one green button – electricity saving of 90% compared with leaving it on standby.

Simply insert the Power Plug into the wall socket, then use a power extension to connect up to four devices including your TV, DVD and satellite/cable digibox; you will save on batteries too, as you’ll be using one remote control instead of four!

You can also have peace of mind when you go to bed, knowing that by switching off all your devices completely, there will be less risk of a fire.

The One For All Energy Saver remote control is available for £34.99 from stores nationwide including Currys and John Lewis, or online at:

*It is estimated that the average UK household could save £37 per year on electricity bills if they always fully switched off home appliances instead of leaving them on standby. Multiplied by 24.4 million households (National Statistics – 2007) that amounts to £902 million of wasted electricity in a year.
