How a low cost energy monitor could cut your energy bill by 15%
Homeowners who are desperate to get their huge utility bills down may not realise that a simple low cost energy monitor could help them cut their electricity bill down by as much as 15% - it could pay for itself in as a little as 3 months.
8 October 2013 – Cold, damp winter weather is approaching and that means “cranking up” the household heating. Many homeowners and tenants will dread the thought that just keeping the home warm means big utility bills, with the average ‘dual fuel’ bill now a whopping £1,300 a year. With 84% of domestic energy consumption used for heating and hot water, and 60% alone used just on heating, taking steps to reduce this sizeable expenditure is now the major priority for most households.
One of the simple low cost steps you can take to get energy bills down is by using an electricity monitor – many of the popular models such as the best selling OWL Micro+ cost less than £30.
Karen Nye of 2 Save Energy Ltd, manufacturer of the OWL range of wireless energy monitors, comments, “Perhaps homeowners don’t realise just how useful a low cost electricity monitor can be. With it you can:
- Find out how much electricity you are using at any one time and then adjust usage to match your real needs and lifestyle.
- Find out which appliances are the real energy guzzlers in your home – that old fridge in the garage could be proving very expensive to run.
- Look out for ‘spikes’ in usage at a glance – has an appliance been left to run unnecessarily with the cost mounting?
- Keep track of how much electricity you’re using and how much it’s costing you.
“In simple terms an electricity monitor helps you change your habits and reduce your energy usage to save you money – cutting your bills down to size. You could save as much as 15% off the average electricity bill and the monitor could pay for itself in as little as 3 months. Many of the leading makes of energy monitors are “stand alone” and wireless; they are therefore really quick and east to fit – no special skills or expertise is needed.”
