VPhase expands distribution network of VPhase voltage optimisation devices

(04/05/2010)

VPhase plc has significantly expanded its distribution network of VPhase voltage optimisation devices for the home, with availability now from all City Electrical Factors (CEF) and Wolsely UK’s Electric Center branches nationwide. The VPhase units are also available across a number of independent wholesalers throughout the UK.

VPhase CEO Dr Lee Juby comments: “We’re extremely pleased to see the number of wholesale outlets stocking VPhase rise dramatically. With CEF and Wolsely Electric Center on board, units are now available in over 800 outlets. Time and convenience are of the essence for electricians, which is why we’re ensuring wide-spread availability of the VPhase product - whether it’s in larger distributors or regional independents. Electricians want to be able to go to their local distributor and buy the device whilst buying other parts.”

The best time to install a VPhase is whenever a new fuse box is fitted, adding value for the electrician and the homeowner. The device must be fitted by a qualified electrician. Therefore, VPhase is offering FREE 2-3 hour training workshops every week in venues across the country to demonstrate a step-by-step installation of the voltage optimisation device and provide expert technical advice. The training workshops clearly show how the maintenance-free unit can be quickly and easily fitted, especially alongside a new fuse box.

As well as training workshops, VPhase is also attending a number of National and Regional exhibitions and is supporting its distribution network with branch open days and similar events. A full marketing support package is available to all VPhase installers including dedicated marketing literature for their customers.

VPhase is currently being tested in approximately 50 Southern Electric customer homes across Berkshire, under the UK Government’s Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT) scheme. It is also trialling in a north-west based Housing Association.

The technology uses voltage optimisation to deliver substantial money, energy and carbon emission savings to homeowners. Recent trial results, independently verified by EA Technology, have demonstrated savings of up to £135 a year off electricity bills and savings in electricity consumption of between 6% and 12%. This equates to carbon savings of 390 to 708 kg per annum.
