Check out a Kill-A-Watt Power Meter
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that about 10 percent of household electricity used is consumed by idle devices. Idle devices are still utilizing electricity even when they are powered "off" This 'phantom' electricity usage can be addressed by the Kill-A-Watt™ device which allows you to find out how much energy household appliances use.
By connecting your household appliances to the Kill-A-Watt™, you can assess how energy efficient they are and better understand your energy consumption at home. The device readings allow you to track and calculate the appliance's electricity usage by day, week, etc. The device calculates consumption by the Killowatt (KW) hour, the same standard used by National Grid or Nstar does when they process your utility bill.
Kill-A-Watt™ power meters are now available to Dixon residents for check-out from the Dixon Public Library. They serve as valuable tools for residents looking to lower their utility bills and cut down on phantom electrical use around the home. Visit the Dixon Public Library to borrow a Kill-A-Watt™ power meter now and start cutting your energy use today.
