Electricity bills are rising! Now you can cut down on costs and find out what appliances are actually worth keeping plugged in.
Simply connect these appliances to the Kill A Watt, and it will assess how efficient they really are. Large LCD display will count consumption by the Killowatt-hour, same as your local utility. You can calculate your electrical expenses by the day, week, month, even an entire year. Also check the quality of your power by monitoring Voltage, Line Frequency, and Power Factor.
Now you will know if it is time for a new refrigerator or if that old air conditioner is still saving you money.
How much can you possibly save by using this device? Here's the math:
The average amount of energy wasted in a typical American home is 40% of the total energy used, according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy. According to Energy Star, the average American household spends $2,000 on household energy costs, of which approximately 30%, or $600, is spent on appliances. Therefore, looking at potential savings only on appliances, through maximizing efficiencies by discovering wasteful appliances and unwelcome phantom loads, the Kill-A-Watt could conceivably enable a yearly savings of $240.
