Kill A Watt EZ - Consumption Meter

The Kill A Watt EZ unit is an easy to use meter for electric consumption. Along with finding stats for electric usage, the Kill A Watt EZ has a feature to figure the cost for using an appliance or other device for certain periods of time. Originally, we got the unit to assist in figuring the size for a solar panel array by deciding which appliances we were wanting to supply with power. After bagging the solar idea for the time being, Kill A Watt remained being useful in determining what electric devices around the house were consuming, and if there was a way to minimize consumption. Keep in mind, the discussion in the video is based on our experience. Your lifestyle and experience will and should most likely vary from ours. Also, there is a bit more to Kill A Watt than shown.

... good device for sure.

Is it possible at your place to choose the electricity supplier you prefer or is there only one monopolist on power? Here it's very simple to select the power supplier you like best, e.g. regenerative power production etc.

@steintanz there are some choices, but nothing that would cause me to investigate deeper at this time.

It sounds as though your monitor might benefit from one of your computer cooling sessions, heat bad.. lol

@rchopp lol, no shortage of stuff to "cool" off around here

I have NABCEP training and you are correct. I would have thought by now that solar panels would be more efficient. I have a video of one of the solar studies we did and my company is set up to design and install but the market is not that good. It is good to see these types of products on the market.

@ArtisanTony yeah, Jared was being very generous with the 10 yr to recoup costs. I truly wish it was something we could use much more than we do.

That's a great idea. I've often wondered what is the biggest energy gobbler in the house.

[kookiemoose]

mmm...Granola

@usframe Yes, most of the studies we have done show between 20 -25 years for return on investment.

@usframe We had similar discussions several years ago - sooner or later "it" becomes normal.
