FAQs

The device fits between your meter and your consumer unit and should be fitted internally, not in a meter box outside. This should not affect any grade 2 listed building regulations.

The BlueGreen Power Saver is suitable for most homes, not all. That’s why we offer an initial call with you, followed by an in-house suitability survey. You can request your Short Informal Call here…

The device regulates the voltage in the home to a steady value, typically 220V. The UK average supply is 245V and most appliances use less energy at the lower voltage. All appliances must be CE-marked and this means they will operate normally at the lower voltage. With a BlueGreen installed, your electricity bill will be between 6 and 12% lower and your appliances and light bulbs will last longer.

Between 3-5 years depending on the size of your bill, the level of supplied voltage and the types of appliances you have. We offer a no obligation in-house suitability survey before any installation. We can give a better indication after a short telephone conversation with you. This is followed up (if we both agree) with the suitability survey. Request your Short Informal Call here…

It takes approximately 1-2 hours to install a BlueGreen, plus electrical testing of 1-2 hours.

The BlueGreen will regulate a constant load of up to 5kW, and a load of up to 8kW for a limited period. If overloaded for extended periods, the device will enter bypass mode. You won’t lose power to the property but your appliances will receive the unregulated supply voltage until the load has reduced. In most cases the BlueGreen will progressively adjust  the load voltage when changing operating mode.

In the unlikely event of a fault, Bristol BlueGreen will provide a replacement unit free of charge in the first 12 months, or the first 36 months if the customer has completed and returned the warranty card. The warranty is only valid if the unit has been installed and operated in accordance with the installation manual. Full details of the warranty can be found here.

The BlueGreen’s dimensions are 299mm length x 225mm height x 106mm depth.

The BlueGreen will get warm during long periods of high load but should not become too hot to touch. Sufficient room must be allowed around the device to allow it to cool.

The device is non-serviceable – once installed it requires no maintenance.

There will be no savings on thermostatically controlled devices. At lower voltages they take marginally longer to get to temperature. But once at temperature their thermostats ensure that cooking times etc remain unaffected. These devices typically count for a quarter of a home’s electrical consumption.
