Welcome, winter .... and a seasonal 'service call' returns: We keep tripping the breaker in the office!
Naturally, we get there, to find that the office manager has decided to 'save energy' by setting the offic thermostat at 68 - and every desk has a little toaster-like space heater under it, sucking up the power. Pop goes the breaker!
Well, I have recently purchased one of these things:

They're made to fit right under the desk, and attach with Velcro.
It's not hard to find other vendors; I think I paid about $70 for mine.
The results?
Well, they draw 150 watts - much less than the usual space heater ... AND they work. They make quite a difference.
I would encourage customers to get these for the ladies. They're cheaper than service calls! (hmmm ... I wonder if we could sell them at the time of the call?)
Because, let's face it: you'll never convince management to give any value to the comfort of their staff.
