Many of our loved ones may be searching for that perfect Christmas gift and not only that, if your sweetheart has the environment on their mind then what better way of showing them your love by getting them a green gadget. Called the Efergy Meter, this little device allow you to monitor how much electricity you are using. The device has a sophisticated, built-in memory function which totals up and records consumption at the end of every day, week and month on a rolling basis. This means the user really can keep track of his own energy usage. As the data on the screen of the Efergy meter is refreshed every six seconds, the impact on power usage of turning an electrical appliance on or off can be seen immediately. According to the manufacturer, the Efergy meter can work really well for businesses too. Having a visual display of exactly how much electricity is being consumed, means users can turn off what is not essential, such as little-used printers or fax machines on stand-by, switch off unnecessary lighting and start to install things such as low energy light bulbs and push-timer switches.
They also said that with this kind of information, the Efergy meter really can help change people's lives at home and at work and enable them to become more energy efficient and less wasteful when it comes to using electricity, without drastic lifestyle changes. Plus, as well ad doing your bit for the planet in terms of reduced CO2 emissions, it will save money in lower electricity bills. Installation takes just a few minutes and does not require any tools or cable-cutting. Once set up, the transmitter has a range of 40 metres. The Efergy meter costs £42.95 and more details on the device can be found here.
