Looking for a wireless solution to your electricity and energy consumption? Look no further that the OWL® Wireless Electricity Monitor, a cunning device designed to show just how much energy you’re using at any given moment, how much you’re spending.
While it might seem a little confusing at first glance, the instructions are simple and easy to follow and, if used correctly, can actually make a difference to your electricity bill by helping you to make an informed decision about what to switch off in order to bring the costs down. By using the OWL® Wireless Electricity Monitor, the whole family can learn about changing the little things in their lives that bring about the big changes that we all should be making in this ever-increasingly expensive world.
Measuring at 12cm x 14cm (5″ x 5.5″), the OWL® Wireless Electricity Monitor uses AA batteries and comes supplied with the six needed – which will last over 12 months in both the display and transmitter.
While some household items use a very small amount of energy, even if they’re switched on and in use, items like fridges, halogen lights and gas central heating make the numbers shoot up – scary but very useful to know. We know you can’t turn off your fridge, but maybe there are other actions you can take to make those numbers fall once more. The OWL® Wireless Electricity Monitor can also cut down on the sometimes near heart-attack inducing shock that hits you when the electric bill hits your doormat as there is a section on the screen that shows reasonably accurately how much you have spent on electricity to date.
To show you just how useful the device can be, we have included a quote direct from the company – after all, who knows the product better than they do?
“OWL wireless electricity monitors show users how much electricity they are using within their home on a 24/7 basis, how much it costs and how much carbon is being generated. This means users can see in real time the benefits of turning off electrical devices. Whether it’s turning off at the plug rather than just using standby, or simply turning off lights, OWL shows users the cash impact of changing their habits and behaviour which could amount to savings of hundreds of pounds per year. It is easy to install, easy to read and easy to use.”
In addition, the October ’09′s Which? Report stated that the monitor was “…the most accurate monitor. It’s simple to use […] the monitor can be used with up to four tariffs.” The monitor scored 80% in the test.
The OWL® Wireless Electricity Monitor costs around £35.99 from the official website, but £29.99 on Amazon – so shop around as there might be an even better deal out there.
