Wireless Energy Monitors
Afternoon,
Simple question - Wireless Energy Monitors - anybody here got one? If so - which one and are they any good? I know most of them you have to clamp the sensor around the cable in the electric meter / box - but ours is on the outside of the house so I'm not sure if that would work?? Cheers Lee |

My friends shows many displays, such as: - Watts usage (live display) - Pence/hr at current usage (based on cost you enter) - kWh over day/week/month/forever - Peak usage - Average usage etc etc. Cost him £20 or £40 (not sure which) half price at the time I believe. They are expensive but worth it if you want to try and save money by reducing your usage. |

Some companies (eg E-on) are trailing them at the moment, and you can buy one direct from them now. HMG wants us all to have one at some point (present financial crisis notwithstanding).

I posted in another topic that in our house we leave the dvd, sky, tv, microwave, washer, pc, all on standby. That came to about 38watts 24/7. Which works out at 15p/day wasted. Thats £53/year just leaving those things on standby when a few extra seconds could be spent turning them off at the socket. I even just bought a new server (needed one anyway) which uses under 1/2 the power of the old one (75w not 165w). Those savings do add up over time, and it doesn't have to be something big, even a phone charger being unplugged saves about 2p/day for the very inefficient ones. |
