Feedback From Our Happy Customers

Not only is The Zap Box cutting our costs but our chillers are running cooler too
I had a 200 amp commercial unit installed at our store in June 2010. We've had 2 monthly bills now and have reduced our costs by $420 already.

Ron Gallant ( Tulsa, OK )
Very pleased with your clear instructions
I was nervous to get The Zap Box installed and was impressed with the clarity of your instructions.

Not only did I undertake the installation myself but I did it in under 40 minutes.
Gary Payne ( Attica, IN )
Glad we ordered through you
As you know, we already planned to buy a product from another company until we learned you were cheaper and had much better customer support.

Thank you for your prompt attention to my questions.

I've just ordered a second box for our home. Nuff said.

We have been using The Zap Box since early July and are very pleased with it.

We are happy it has a surge-protector and that it is saving us good money all year round.
