Back To School: The Great Kill-A-Watt Giveaway

As we’re preparing to get our kids back to school we’re relishing some of the additional free time we’ll have in our schedule.   One use for that time is to assess the amount of electricity various devices in our house use and make a determination as to which of these we really need and which are worth the hassle of unplugging (or turning off the power strip) when not in use.

Kill-A-Watt Meter

Also,  we’re very pleased that Jonathan and I both worked with our City’s Energy Committee and Friends of our Library to make 4 Kill-A-Watt meters available to borrow through the library system.   In celebration of this long coming achievement  (this year wasn’t the first time we have tried to get the local library to lend these out), we have decided to give away one Kill-A-Watt Meter to a lucky reader.

For basic information on how use a Kill-A-Watt meter,  read our post Building Your Energy Savings Toolbox – Kill-A-Watt meter.  For a better understanding of units of energy and what is worth cutting back and what isn’t, read our post What Impact Does 1 Watt Have?

If you already have a Kill-A-Watt meter and you’re interested in something more advanced, read First Days with our Ted-5000 Home Energy Monitor.
