Installation & Preparation
No hassle with heavy cables or weeks of planning. Our approach is modular. We always start with a free inspection. Our technician will assess your specific situation: is your meter box already future-proof? Sometimes all that’s needed is an extra group, and often, smart load balancing is the key. This prevents your whole house from going dark when your system is working at full capacity.
We work with certified partners and materials that meet the highest standards. The installation itself? Usually done within a day. You'll get an immediate tutorial on the app, and then you're ready to get started. No jargon, just clarity.
Smart Usage & Energy Management
The real savings begin after the installation. The system is in place, but how do you get the most out of it? It’s all about timing and insight.
- Charge during off-peak hours: From 11 PM to 7 AM, rates are lowest. The difference can amount to €0.15 per kWh. For a full 'tank,' that’s about €3.40 in savings.
- Load balancing: This is not a luxury but essential comfort. The system intelligently distributes the available power, so your washing machine can run while your campaign is active. No hassle with tripped breakers.
- App insights: See exactly what was consumed per session (e.g., 11.2 kWh), how much it cost (€2.58), and what the revenue was. These insights help you identify patterns and plan even smarter.
Costs, Savings & Subsidies
Let’s be transparent. The initial investment for a complete CCombox system often ranges between €1,850 and €3,400. That may sound like a significant amount. But compare it to the recurring costs of traditional campaigns: ad spend, agency hours, print work. Those add up quickly, with no guarantee of results.
With us, you pay for a platform that lasts for years, with fixed, low monthly costs. And often there are subsidies available. We're happy to help you find the best options.
Estimate: Traditional advertising costs around €45–€120 per 100 people reached (depending on the medium and targeting). With our system, you target interested parties, significantly lowering the cost per serious lead.
Practical Case from Rotterdam
At a corner house in Rotterdam-Oud, we installed a smart group switchboard upgrade and a CCombox Pro with load balancing. The owner, a small business entrepreneur, was tired of the unpredictable costs of social media ads. After three weeks of monitoring, we saw a consumption of 11.2 kWh per session and approximately 37% savings compared to public stations. He now plans his key campaigns during his audience's 'off-peak hours' and pays an average of €0.23/kWh for his reach. No fluff: just starting each day with a full battery of leads.
Conclusion & Next Steps
Which costs less? In the short term, a one-time ad may seem cheaper. But when you take the long view—considering control, predictable costs, and measurable results—the CCombox approach often wins. It’s an investment in your own channel, rather than continually renting one.
