Steady Power Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Steady Power affect any of my appliances and their normal use?
No. If anything, your motors will run about 10% cooler, which is good because heat is the enemy of a motor.

How much can I expect to save per month by using the Steady Power?
Your savings will depend on the factors in your home - the size of your home, the amount of inductive motor load, the amount you are paying per kilowatt-hour for electricity, etc.

How long will it take for the Steady Power to pay for itself?
This depends on your individual circumstances, number and age of appliances, electrical costs, and usage patterns, but most units are paid for within 2-3 years.

Is the Steady Power easy to install?
Yes, but the Steady Power must be installed by a professional electrician. Installation requires opening the electrical panel, exposing potentially dangerous high voltage wires. The unit comes with complete installation instructions and installs in about 15-30 minutes.

How long will the Steady Power last?
It has a predicted lifespan of over 20 years and a 10 year limited warranty.

Why haven't I heard of these products until now?
That's easy; two words - "cost effectiveness." Up until recently, electric rates throughout America were cheap, costing us 2, 3 or 4 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh). Now electric rates are anywhere between 8 and 14 cents per kWh. In some places, the rate is over 19 cents per kWh. For example, New York City is 22 cents per kWh and Hawaii is 33.5! At the cheaper rates, the EcoPower4 did not make sense. But at the current rates, it makes all the sense in the world.
