The Energy Saver Power Monitor By Black & Decker is able to monitor your electrical use without you needing an electrician to wire the monitor in. The information is sent from the transmitter to a hand-held device that gives you an accurate minute by minute account of your electrical usage.
This Power Monitor is part of Black & Deckers Energy Saver range of products. The transmitter part of the power monitor is placed onto the electricity meter, which can be outside. The transmitter is fully weatherproof, capable of working in both the heat of summer and the frosts of winter. It is meant to be compatible with 90% of all meter types. The transmitter though runs on a AA battery, so it may be worth while investing on a high powered rechargeable battery to use in this device. No electrician is required to install the system as the transmitter interfaces with the meters without being directly wired into them.
Once this is fully aligned to the meter and synchronised with the portable hand held monitor by following the detailed instructions you can start to track your electrical usage minute by minute. By turning different devices on and off around your property you can figure out where energy savings can be made and be more productive in making sure only devices needed are left on.
