Hi all,
Is there a device that measures the amount of electric energy I'm using by plugging it in between the outlet and the appliance?
What would it be called? Could this be done over a 24 hour period? Can it be bought or rented?
My electric bill is outrageous and there doesn't seem to be a good reason. No air conditioner, gas heat and stove. Consistently there is a freezer, a refrigerator, a computer/monitor, a well pump, a cordless phone and a water heater. The water heater has an insulation blanket on it but not a timer. Lights are being shut off, unneccessary items are not used.
Is there such a device? I'd buy or rent it if it existed to get a handle on my electric use lately! Any suggestions? Thanks, Feather
