Vphase units

Both unit's basically the same but one is 200quid cheaper than the other!! These units are beginning to sound very expensive to say the least. ...I wonder what the pay-back period is going to be?? lol!!!

Well that's easy to work out. Each unit claims an 18% saving, unlikely but even if we take a lower performance level of 10%, then VoltisHome at £450 offers a payback time of less than 4 years, at £650 VO4Home offers a payback time of just less than 6 years. Obviously the payback times will be greater as the cost of electricity rises and/or the savings are greater than 10%. I've not heard anything about VO4Home but the VoltisHome unit as fitted by an friend was saving 14%. On an average utility bill of £1,200, that's a return of £168, or about a return of 37% on a £450 investment - can you get that much from a bank?
