I think Voltmod is just another scam. I am a professional electrician and have worked in the field for many years, even had an electrical contractor's license. I spent my greatest number of years in the field working as an electrical technician and troubleshooter and I can tell you that everything in a building, be it a house or otherwise, requires so much power and you get billed for the amount of power you consume, not for capacity, current or anything else.
There is a power equation and you can manipulate any part of the equation but on the other side of that equation, you will have total power needed or consumed and that will not change, unless you want things not to work or wear out sooner than they were designed to.
I can get a 120V light bulb to work for at least a short while, but if the voltage is too much, the thing will burn out. I can play around with the current but things will either not work or stop working soon.
There is really only one way for anyone to save on electricity and that is not to use it, period. If anyone really wants to save on electricity, then use only one or just a few solar panels to create your own electricity. Solar panel systems can be custom-designed to serve the needs of just one or a few circuits but one does not need to spend $20,000 for an entire house system. A product like Powerbolt is not going to get you anywhere.

Was going to buy one but the thought of being scammed concerns me as OAP so its a big no from me at least our cat will be happy..
Scam. If it s too good to be true then its not
I sent off my £49 for one voltmod and that's the last thing I heard from them.So I'd say they took my money and ran!
As an electrician myself I thoroughly agree with this assessment.
I received mine
I have tried FIFTEEN times to contact the " amazing customer service representatives" in order to ask a simple question about the " brush" that you musn't touch, and must clean regularly.You can't get through, even to leave a recorded message, as the phone just " cuts out".I am reluctant to call it a " scam", but I don't hesitate to regard the company as " highly incompetent" and worthy of a detailed investigation by the Trading Standards Authority, who have both the ability and the authority to call to account the CEO, and, if appropriate, prosecute them.Does anyone else agree?
I have some snake oil and a perpetual motion engine if anyone is interested and has spare money they don't need
As an engineer I certainly know that just cleaning up a sine wave, doubtful if that could affect it in any way, would not have the slightest effect on the amount of current used.Got scammed like that with two room coolers which are just tiny fans with a water bath above.Needless to say that the seller will not respond.
I have just received my voltmod. How will I know if it's a scam
Trust me it's a scam!
When you get your electric bill
