There are many gadgets out there to help save on energy bills. Home energy monitors can help you find out which appliances are likely to consume the most electricity.
P3international.com has come up with the Kill-A-WATT device which is a monitor that can display the amount of energy used by electronic devices around the home. The Kill-A-WATT retails at around £13 and can plug into any outlet. Then it is just a simple case of plugging in an appliance or gadget into the device to see its power consumption in kilowatts per hour. (Utilities use this standard measurement of electricity)
Another useful energy saving gadget is Black and Decker’s Power monitor which retails at around £62.00 and can display just how much electricity you are using throughout the entire house. The system makes use of a wireless transmitter that attaches to your electricity meter and links to a hand held device that then displays usage in KWH or pounds. This is particularly useful if you need to track changes in electricity consumption when appliances are turned on. The system also has the functionality of displaying monthly bills and how much electricity you have used up to a certain date when you enter the rate into the monitor
