Are there costs to using the various power conditioners?
Surge Strips, by their design, do not impose a draw on your system during normal operation. However any transformer-based conditioner is going to add to your electric bill because it imposes a load (this is excluding any lights or fans which would also impose a load). Typically an isolation transformer can consume the power of a 60-100 Watt lightbulb on its own, without a load present. Plus, it generates heat. Leveler’s technology reduces the amount of RMS current needed to power a load, with no votlage change.
