Win a Bye Bye Standby kit

Save energy in your home with remote-controlled set of smart sockets.

Research shows Brits are still clueless when it comes to knowing which home appliances are guzzling energy, even when not fully operating.

According to the Energy Saving Trust, the average household has up to 12 gadgets left on standby or charging at any one time.

This equates to an average loss of £37 per household per year and a significant amount of unnecessary carbon emissions.

Bye Bye Standby is a clever combination of smart sockets and a wireless remote control which enables you to cut power to electrical devices at the simple touch of a button.

With Bye Bye Standby you can:

• Save energy - completely cut power to your appliances at the flick of a switch (energy saved per year for a family household - 385 kWh).

• Save money - reduce your electricity bill by switching off devices left on standby within your home (money saved on energy for a family household - £38 per year).

• Save the environment - prevent the release of unnecessary carbon emissions into the atmosphere by shutting down equipment not in use (CO2 emission reduction per household -- 166kg).

• Prevent fire - have peace of mind all appliances are completely off when not in use.

• Make life easy - take convenient remote control of appliances within your home.
