Reduce Your Energy Bills/Carbon Footprint.

A blend of technology and common sence will help keep your energy bills down and your carbon footprint in check.

When purchasing a new television it is important to know a few facts:-

Avoid Plasma as it cost a third more to run than a LCD TV with a similar screen size.

Remember the bigger the screen the bigger the running costs - eg. 32" LCD uses around 110 watts when a 42" LCD gobbles up 160 watts.

Dont forget to Switch Off your TV when it's not in use - TV's in standby mode costs the UK £ 71 million pounds each year.

A TV with Light Sensors automatically adjusts the backlight on the TV according to how light or dark the room is - and can dramatically cut power consumption.
