Which switch? - Recommendation:

TARGETED MITIGATION

Your house stays ON and you turn off your sleep areas at night.

Use the body voltage method to strategically and methodically determine exactly which electrical circuits you must turn off. Then, turn off just those targeted areas at nighttime. This approach determines the minimum number of circuits that must be disabled to mitigate your sleeping area.

Pros and Cons:
1. Usually less expensive (smaller unit).
2. Less power interruption: possibly more convenient.

IMPLEMENTATION

1. Start with the bedroom that will be turned off first each day Ie the children’s room.

2. Using the BVK to confirm adequate mitigation follow the proceudure given on the “PROCESS” page.  By turning off all of the identified circuits your body voltage measurement should be less than 100 mV. 

(See our PDF) 

3. Count the total number of circuit breakers that you need to turn off.

4.  Allocate each circuits to one of the zones.

Order the size EMFsafeSwitch you need.

HOLISTIC MITIGATION

Your house stays OFF and you turn on the room you are using.

Turn off most of the home or large areas surrounding the sleeping area, leaving on only the essentials1 and areas remote (if any) from the sleeping area. Then, confirm with the body voltage method that mitigation has been successful.

Pros and Cons:
1. Often more expensive innitially (larger unit).
2. Process is simple.
3. More consistent with Nature.
4. Power savings over time .

IMPLEMENTATION

Remember with the holistic approach everything is OFF except the room/zone you are in.

1.  Identify which circuits must be left on.

2.  Decide which rooms you want in each zone.

3.  Identify which circuits go to each of the four areas. 

4.  Count the number circuits you are turning off

5.  Confirm with the BVK your readings.

WORKING FROM HOME

If you are home all day, this may change your mitigation approach.

Even though it may not affect your sleep area EMF reading you may want to add your home office circuits to your list.

Consider turning off your office while you are working in it! Sounds odd but you can reduce your daytime EMF considerably by doing this.  Run a shielded, grounded extension cord in from another room to plug in essentials like your computer. 

Remember, most of your EMF load is the electric fields coming from the wires in your walls and during the day, added to that the power cords by your feet. Use the BVK to check your measurements and the effectiveness of your mitigation ideas. 

Unplug what you can and move the things you need on as far a way from you as is practical, maybe to another room. 

Why not have your home turned off while you work, except the one zone you are bringing the extension cord in from?
