If you need a little helping hand when it comes to saving electricity in the home, then there are a number of energy saving devices that can help.

Although these will initially cost you money, most of them will pay for themselves extremely quickly. Here's a quick guide to some of the most popular available.

Energy Saving Power Strips

Like many energy saving devices, an energy saving power strip helps to make saving energy easier. It does a job that you could do manually but that you may often forget to do.

That job is to make sure that appliances aren't left on unnecessarily. Even if you don't leave devices on standby, simply leaving them plugged into power outlets can use “phantom power”.

Some estimates say that as much as 15% of household electricity usage is down to this kind of power loss and by leaving devices on standby!

By purchasing energy saving power strips you can benefit from a remote control that will let you turn everything off from a distance.

As soon as you turn off your television, for example, you can use the remote to turn off all connected devices (such as DVD players, games consoles and so on) without having to move from your seat.

Dryer Balls

Most of us know just how much energy it can take to dry clothes. Unfortunately, not all of us have the time to forgo the dryer in favour of letting our laundry dry outside.

If you still want to do something that'll help cut down on the energy you use then you can take advantage of dryer balls.

These are simple energy saving devices that work to separate fabrics, allowing air to flow efficiently. Your clothes will dry quicker, and you can reuse the balls over and over again. There's no need for chemicals.

Energy Saving Power Monitors

These power monitors are designed to display exactly the energy you're using around the home. They can give you an amount in dollars to help you know exactly what you're spending at any given moment.

Some monitors also have extra features, such as outside temperature monitors, to help you make smart decisions about the energy you're using.

Although these monitors will not save energy in themselves, you'll soon start to learn which appliances use the most energy and where you could afford to cut down.

There's nothing like seeing your energy usage measured in dollars to help you cut down and start saving money.

Even small changes could save you a lot of money over time - far more than the cost of a monitor.

As you can see, there are energy saving devices available to help you with a variety of aspects of saving energy around the home.

Spend your money wisely and invest in something you really know you'll get the most use out of.
