Kill A Watt
Kill A Watt Meters Help EPUD Customers Save Energy and Money
EPUD Customer-Owners now have FREE access to a device that can help
reduce their energy usage and save money o
n their electric bills. The
Kill A Watt EZ Electricity Usage Monitor allows people to track
the electric usage of devices in their home when they are turned on, and
also tracks “phantom” loads, generated when electrical devices are
turned off but still plugged in.
Did you know that plasma
screen TVs use roughly 60% more power than LCD TVs? Where it might
cost $2.00/month to run a 19” standard color TV, it would cost $15/month
to run an LCD TV and $24/month to run a plasma TV.
The Kill A Watt also allows you to program in the EPUD rate, thereby displaying
projected operating costs by hour, day, week, month, or year. This gives a better understanding of what each device actually costs to
use.
