Energy saving
Each Green Plug has an integrated air-driven timer function that switches off the power supply completely and automatically after a predetermined duration. Because it is air-driven you can be sure that the Green Plug and any connected appliances consume zero electricity when switched off. Standby energy drain is now a thing of the past and your carbon emissions are reduced!
How much could you save with Green Plug?
Push and go
With a simple push of the plug, the built in timer starts a count-down and switches off the power completely after a predetermined duration. Plugs will be available with different pre-set durations suited to different consumer needs. Select a Green Plug with a time setting that suits your needs
Below are suggested time settings for popular appliances:
Appliance |
Time Range |
| Iron | 5 - 15 mins |
| Pair of hair straighteners | 5 - 10 mins |
| Microwave oven | 10 - 15 mins |
| Printer | 10 - 20 mins |
| Set of hair curlers | 15 - 25 mins |
| Deep fat fryer | 15 - 25 mins |
| Convector heater | 15 - 35 mins |
| Hi-Fi | 20 - 35 mins |
| Pair of PC or MP3 speakers | 20 - 40 mins |

| TV in a bedroom or child's room | 30 - 50 mins |
| Battery charger | 30 - 60 mins |
Safety first
Green Plug carries British Safety Standards approval and provides a valuable
ally to the smoke or fire alarm. Potential fire risk devices in the home such
as an electric blanket, hot-iron or hair-curlers will be automatically and completely
switched off from the power supply after a predetermined duration by the Green
Plug when you forget to unplug them yourself.
Green Plug avoids those panic moments when you've dashed off to the shops or gone
out for the evening and can't remember if you switched off the iron or not.
At home, in the home or office
Green Plug provides a simple, safe and convenient switch-off device when you
forget to.
Green Plug is ideal in the home and office with most electrical devices you leave
on standby long after use. The T.V, DVD Player, Hi-Fi System, computers,
printers and franking machines; the list is endless, and so is the wasted energy
and money without Green Plug.
Green Plug Compatibility
Whilst Green Plug will work with almost all appliances, please note that there are some appliances that are not designed to be shut off in an abrupt manner or not at all.
These include projectors, PC towers, bedside clocks, fridges, freezers etc. Please read the instructions supplied by the manufacturer when deciding to fit a Green Plug to that appliance.
If you require any advice or guidance please fell free to contact your retailer or e-mail us direct on info@green-plug.co.uk and we will be happy to assist.

Testing
The Green Plug is tested very rigorously to ensure that it meets the highest quality and standards possible.
The plugs have successfully passed EN55014-1 2006 and EN55014-2: 1997, it has also passed BS5733/A, BS1363, BS EN 60730-2-7 and is RoHS compliant and CE marked. It meets all relevant safety standards in the UK but, we still test further with plugs going through simulated 15 years of use on test rigs such as the one below as part of our own in house testing to ensure quality.
Available since 2009
Green Plug was launched in 2009 and is protected by worldwide Patents Pending and will carry British Safety Standards approval. Continuing development from the original Green Plug concept has already brought about the creation of three more projects complimenting the original Green Plug idea.
