The Eco-eye Elite Electricity Monitor shows you how much electricity you are using in your home at any point in time, providing you with how much power you are using, the financial cost to you and the greenhouse gasses your appliances are expending.
Why we like it:
The point of the Eco-eye Elite Electricity Monitor is to help you to understand how much energy you are using, and where you are using it. Until you appreciate what is costing you money, it is very hard to know how to reduce your electricity usage. One of the most illuminating exercises you can do once receiving your monitor, is to turn everything in your home off. You will probably find that although you think everything is turned off, you are still using electricity, which may be from a TV left on standby, or simply a plug in the cupboard still in the on position. The Eco-eye Elite Electricity Monitor is a great educational tool for anyone, it is especially useful for families who have trouble teaching kids to save energy and save the family money. One popular project we have heard of is to set an ‘electricity budget’ together with a ‘green target’ and use the wireless, portable Eco-eye Elite Electricity Monitor to keep to it. Kids love it! They use the energy monitors £ spend feature to track how much they are spending, hourly, daily, weekly or monthly, and discover new ways to save energy. The CO2 emissions calculator, helps them to see that whilst saving energy, they are actually saving the environment, and of course the kW spend option, helps them to track which appliances use the most energy! One family used their savings to take the entire family out on a special treat at the end of the month long project! A good motivation if there ever was one, whilst encouraging eco-friendly behaviour and budgeting skills!
