When it comes to saving energy, Rod Schmuland is serious about the task. Rod is the owner and operator of Kootenay Energy Solutions, a Creston-based company that specializes in helping businesses and residents reduce their energy consumption and save money at the same time.

“If you are concerned about the environment, it is nice to know you can save money at the same time,” said Rod Schmuland. “All our products have a strong return on investment (ROI) which means that in just a few years, products like the Power Miser will have more than paid for themselves.”

One of newest products Kootenay Energy Solutions was displaying at the recent Kootenay i-Tech show was the Power Miser. The unit reduces the amount of power drawn from your utility provider by storing it in capacitors and then the unit supplies that stored electricity back to your inductive loads—like dishwashers and furnace fans—in a more energy-efficient manner. This slows your meter down and translates to you using less electricity.

Power Miser in fact guarantees a 25 per cent reduction in your energy bill once the system is installed.

So, if you are interested in going green, saving money and reducing your energy consumption, you should talk to Rod Schmuland at 250-254-1015 or visit  Kootenay Energy Solutions online.
