Review on Revolutionize Energy Monitoring with Blue Line Innovations BLI 24000 PowerCost BLI-24000 by Wayne Wright

At our house, the electricity bills were higher than we expected, so I tried this and a regular monitor with a 110 volt outlet. I completed the installation of our electromechanical gauge in about 20 minutes, leaving the monitor in the room. a kitchen where our whole family could get feedback on usage. During the day it showed clear fluctuations - from 1kW to about 12kW. To isolate the power guzzlers, I turned off all the switches and measured one suspect at a time. This has worked well for pool pumps (less than expected, but still $100 a month if we don't use timers to reduce). HVAC was harder to measure - you can measure what they're using when they're on, but you can't practically isolate them long enough to correlate actual usage with frequent on/off cycles. The plug-in model was easier to use with smaller 110 volt cells. . I've found a few used ones with negligible performance (well pump, small transformers for cordless phones, etc.). Others were significant (underground dehumidifiers). Between two monitors, we've likely identified specific and practical changes that could cut our bill by $100 a month - not bad for $150 + a few hours invested.
