The Energy Saver Series
EM100B Power Monitor:

• Displays electricity use in your home, minute by minute, in dollars or kW
• Shows month-to-date bill and predicted monthly bill
• Also shows day, time, and outside temperature
• Helps households stick to their energy budgets and save money

The monitor's easy-to-read digital display shows your current energy usage in dollars, so you don't have to perform tricky calculations to understand what the readings mean. It also shows you the outdoor temperature, so you can account for heat used on cold mornings, and it displays your month-to-date usage along with an estimate for your upcoming bill. This advanced feature can work with any type of billing rate, including flat rate billing, separate peak and off-peak rates, or tiered billing structures.

Track Little Changes that Become Big Savings
A convenient appliance mode feature allows you to track minute-to-minute changes in electric consumption as major appliances are turned on and off, so you can see where your money is going. This makes it easy for you to decide, for instance, which electrical appliances and accessories are really worth their cost, and which of your older appliances are costing you more money than they're worth. You can also quickly tell how much you save by switching to compact florescent light bulbs or instituting other conservation measures in your home.

Once you have the Energy Saver Series Power Monitor set up, you'll be surprised how quickly the everyday choices you make in your electrical consumption add up. In fact, lifestyle changes based on the information your family gets from this monitor can save you up to 20 percent a month on your electric bills.

The weatherproof sensor at the heart of this system is designed to handle tough winters, humid summers, and everything in between, so you can rely on it for year-round accurate performance.

From the Manufacturer

This easy-to-use device tells a homeowner, in real-time, how much electricity they use, and the cost in dollars and cents in order to actively and intelligently control energy consumption. The Energy Saver Series helps consumers know more, use less and save money, by making it easier than ever to track and control electricity expenditures in a home. Rather than requiring major lifestyle changes, the Energy Saver provides consumers with the right tool to cut down on power consumption with little effort, making spending less on energy an achievable, measurable reality. Using the EM100B Power Monitor couldn't be simpler. A wireless sensor attaches on the electricity meter outside a home--no wiring or electrician required. This sensor monitors the rate electricity is consumed, and transmits this information to the handheld display monitor inside your home. Program basic information from your electric bill regarding cost-per-kilowatt-hour and your billing plan (flat rate, peak/off-peak, or tiered) into your Power Monitor. Press the sync button and immediately receive information on: 1) How much electricity is being used in real-time (in kW or $/hr) 2) Month-to-date costs 3) Estimated bill at the end of the month 4) Outside temperature (or temperature wherever the sensor is). Armed with this information, homeowners can quickly see how much energy they use and when. As they turn major appliances and groups of lights on and off, they can see the minute-by-minute changes in their consumption. The Power Monitor's Appliance feature even isolates the cost of each individual appliance as it is turned on. Considering the average household's monthly electric bill is more than $105 and quickly rising, using the Power Monitor to reduce electricity consumption by 20% would shave more than $20 a month off that bill. In just five months, the Power Monitor will pay for itself and save money in the years to come.
