The Home Energy Centre looks for and researches the products that can provide homeowners with opportunities to increase the energy-efficiency of their home most cost-effectively and achieving maximum carbon reduction
The products are available at special collective-purchase prices through
the HEC Collective group
Homeowners, and small businesses (SME), can join the Collective simply by subscribing to the Home Energy Centre's monthly e-Newsletter which provides you with news and updates on energy-efficiency products and services
Members of the Collective are asked from time to time if they would like to provide data for field trial surveys by agreeing to web-monitoring from their installation/premises to collect the data

EMMA 15 Cascade - the Energy & Microgeneration Manager
Are you a Home Generator of electricity from solar PV panels ? Are you aware that 50% of the electricity your pv installation generates is “lost” to the Grid ?
Electricity generated by your pv installation that is not consumed by your home and its appliances is Exported to the National Grid for a nominal payment
Now there is a way to divert your surplus output into appliances in your home before it goes to Export..the intelligent Energy & Microgeneration Manager, the EMMA 15 Cascade
EMMA's benefits to the customer are derived from two key points:
- 40% of the average energy use in a domestic dwelling is hot water production
- 40% to 50% of electricity produced by a micro-generator is 'lost' to the grid due to a mis-match in supply and demand profiles - i.e. at certain times your generator is producing more energy than you are using
EMMA redirects this otherwise-exported electricity to immediate uses within the building instead of allowing it to be exported. For instance, it sends the surplus electricity to heat your water NOW - while the surplus is available - rather than allowing the electricity to be exported, only for you to have to buy-in electricity from the grid later in the day to heat your hot water then
EMMA increases the value of over half the output of your generator by using it in the household or farm rather than allowing it to be exported to the Grid

VPhase VX1 - the voltage manager that provides significant reductions in electricity costs
Voltage optimisation or power optimisation makes the single biggest impact to assist you in achieving your energy saving and carbon reduction targets
It is a simple, cost effective and practical energy management strategy which provides energy-efficiency by reducing and regulating the supply voltage on connected circuits to a set level where more devices operate more efficiently
The VPhase VX1 unit is a voltage optimisation device designed for use in homes and small businesses. The unique VPhase product optimises the variable incoming voltage to a constant 220V giving householders immediate and significant energy savings for the whole home with a single VPhase fitted to the consumer unit (fuse box)
Based on tests, on appliances such as fridges and freezers "a VPhase unit can deliver a massive saving of around 17%". VPhase also delivers savings on lighting, washing machines, tumble driers, dishwashers, televisions and a whole range of other electrical appliances
Voltage management with a VPhase VX1 provides:
- significant reduction in electricity costs (10%+)
- simple to install (by a qualified electrician)
