How to Reduce Electricity & Save Money with an Electricity Energy Monitor

With the increase in cost of the various utility services, we are always looking to save money. Electricity has risen in price considerably, so buying an electricity monitor is a good way of checking on how much is used and whether savings can be made in electricity & money.

I had 6 large spotlight and 6 small spotlights in my kitchen & thought that I could be using a lot of electricity.

I decided to buy a wireless electricity monitor to measure how much was being used, in the hope of saving electricity & money by replacing the lamps with led lamps.

After searching on the internet I decided to by buy the OWL energy monitor,CM130 for around £24 after finding that it was recommended as a best buy from Which. Energy monitor costs & benefits were provided by Which making my choice easy.

The OWL Micro energy monitor CM130 is a wireless energy monitor which shows you how much electricity you are using at any time and how much it is costing. It can help you to save money off your electricity bill by providing up to the second information on the amount of electricity you are using in pounds and pence so that you can see the financial gain of turning off electrical devices at home.
Whether it's turning off at the plug rather than just using standby or simply turning off a light, OWL Micro energy monitor shows you how changing your behaviour can save you money and so help the environment. It is easy to install, easy to read and easy to use. Monitor your electricity & see which appliances use the most electricity.
The Owl Micro Wireless energy Monitor CM130 tells you how much electricity that you're using, and how much the cost of the electricity is. You can also measure how much cost per day, week or month by using the reset button.

Having monitored the level of electricity used in the kitchen by the spotlights I was able to work out the cost, and found out that I could save £150 a year . So spending around £40 on new led lights, still leaves me a £100 ahead in my first year.

Whether you want a cheap energy monitor like the Owl micro energy monitor CM130, or a similar model, you are likely to find opportunities to save electricity & money.

I bought my energy monitor from www.energymonitorworld.com who delivered it quickly.
