The
PowerCost Monitor is a wireless energy monitor for your home. It can
tell you at a glance how much electricity your home is using from
moment-to-moment and in total. Why wait for your electricity bill when
you can see what you are spending on electricity as you spend it!
Tests in Ontario and elsewhere have proven that householders who use
real-time feedback can reduce electricity use by as much as 6 to 18 per
cent. This is the advantage of having real-time feedback on your
electricity. Real-time feedback means real savings for you. Make the
PowerCost Monitor a regular part of your daily household routine.
With A Powercost Monitor You'll Be Able To See At a Glance:
| | The amount of electricity your home is using from
moment to moment; |
| | The
difference in electricity consumption caused by turning on and off the
various electrical appliances in your home. The more electrical
appliances you turn off, the lower the values displayed. The more
appliances you turn on, the higher the values. |
| | The total amount of money you are spending on electricity |
| | How much money you can save by reducing usage |
The PowerCost Monitor is an excellent tool to help you save.
By
keeping the current value of the Display Unit as low as possible you
will use less electricity - from 6 to 18 percent less every month.
And that means, not only are you saving on your electricity bill every
month, but you're also reducing greenhouse gas emissions; and reducing
demand on the power grid.
How It WorksThe PowerCost Monitor is a home energy monitor that shows you what your
household's electricity consumption is from moment to moment and in
total. From looking at the PowerCost Monitor, you can see in real time
how much electricity your home is using. Your PowerCost Monitor's smart
technology calculates your home's electricity use and displays that
information in a way that we can all understand - in dollars and cents
as well as in kilowatt hours. You simply have to program in your
utility's electric rate.
Your PowerCost Monitor Includes Two Components:
An easy to install
Sensor Unit that you can simply attach to the
outside of your electric utility meter. Once fastened in place, the
sensor reads the amount of electricity the household is consuming in
real-time and transmits the information wirelessly to the Power Monitor,
located inside the home.
A wireless, durable
Power Monitor that resembles a small digital
clock. With a range of up to 100ft from the sensor unit, you can place
it just about anywhere in your home - in the kitchen, on your nightstand
or conveniently placed on the wall in your hallway.
