Energy Monitors saves Money on Electricity - Owl 130 Energy Monitor

Doesnt paying utility bills like Gas and Electricity get you down!

I have always made it a practise to read the meters, and phone in the details to utility Warehouse my gas & electricity buyer. This ensures that my bills show an accurate record of usage, and reduces any surprises later on.

I have been aware of the monthly cost for both gas and electricity over the last 12 months or so, and felt the need to do something about it.

I reviewed ‘WHICH’, for energy monitors’, & ‘electricity monitors’, to find out if they could work, and which were recommended.

I found that a basic energy monitor like OWL MICRO CM 130 was a good thing to start with, and the price around £22- £25 seemed reasonable. If I spend this, I need to at least recover this cost over the first 6 months.

I did a search online, and found them around £24, but I then used my special online shopping search tool called ‘My Shopping Genie’.

My Shopping Genie finds lowest prices, often better than Amazon & Google.

I located the cheapest price for £22.19 from a company called Energy Monitor World, and made my purchase.

I noted that as well as Owl Energy monitors they had a good selection of other makes such as the Eco-Eye Energy meter, Efergy Energy monitor, Wattson Energy monitor.

I received my energy meter promptly following my order; thankfully, all batteries were supplied, so within a short while, I had it working.

One thing you need to know is your cost per kw/hour for your electricity. This has to be entered into the monitor, to enable the cost to be calculated. You can find this on your last electricity bill.

I decided to test the amount of electricity used in my kitchen as I had 60w ceiling spotlight & six 50w mini spotlights!

I took several readings over short periods, comparing the kW usage, with the lights on or off. I then worked out the average difference.

I found out that by replacing all spotlights, with LED lights my saving of electricity over 12 months would be £150, which amazed me. I costed up the purchase of replacement lamps which (using My Shopping genie), came £32. What a great saving of £118 over 12 months ( and more to come!)and all thanks to a small energy monitor.

I am now going to use it to monitor other appliances.

To celebrate, I decided to make a video, as to how the owl Micro CM119 monitor works to help others see how simple it is.

StairliftsWorld.co.uk opens new Showroom – Stairlifts in Leeds and Yorkshire

A new showroom offering a range of Stairlifts, is about to open on the outskirts of Leeds. StairliftsWorld.co.uk is sponsored by Leodis Stairlifts, the well known stairlift company in Leeds.

Leodis Stairlifts, a family business, have been in the stairlift business for nearly 30 yrs. Leodis Stairlifts have been supplying & installing straight Stairlifts & curved Stairlifts, across the whole of Yorkshire & have service locations in:

Leeds, Barnsley, Bradford, Harrogate, Huddersfield, Hull, Doncaster, Rotherham, Selby, Sheffield, Wakefield, York & Immingham.

Leodis Stairlifts offer a FREE Home visit, which enables them to examine the location for the stairlift carefully & therefore recommend the best stairlift solution for the property & clients budget. The benefits of a FREE Home visit, is that it allows our trained staff to ensure that the installation can be problem free( where is the closest power supply? etc) & that the customer has an opportunity to have personal contact with Leodis staff. Leodis believe that it is important that customers have an opportunity to build a relationship for the future.

Leodis also offer an excellent service & support agreement. In the unlikely event of a problem occurring, Leodis engineers are available 24 hours a day, and 365 days a year. There are no bank holidays for a Leodis engineer!

Leodis offer a range of Stairlifts that include Acorn Stairlifts, Minivator Stairlifts & Stannah Stairlifts. This ensures that Leodis Stairlifts can provide the best product for the customer, rather than, like some companies, have only one brand to choose from.

However Leodis Stairlifts have recognised that for many people it is difficult to choose a stairlift from a brochure, so they have decide to open a stairlift show room, where customers can not only see the various Stairlifts available, but can actually try them!

Although this means some travelling, for many people they will enjoy the trip, and find it very helpful, in seeing & trying the product before making a decision.

StairliftsWorld showroom is about to open shortly, so before you travel, call us on
0800 542 6045 to check our opening date, or check our blog.
