There are two types of meters available for you to borrow; one involves a simple sensor that clips around the cable to your electricity meter, a transmitter and a wireless display. This will tell you either the number of kilowatts or the average hourly cost of the electricity you are using at any given time.
The other meters are plug-ins that monitors the usage of individual appliances whether they are in use or on standby. Simply plug this monitor into the wall then plug the item into the monitor and you’ll see exactly how much electricity it consumes.
Using the meters will give you:
