Considering the amount of work we knew we'd be putting it through, such as figuring out how much it costs to leave your tech on standby, testing products such as the best electric heaters and the best electric blankets and throws, we knew its three-year warranty would come in handy. What other energy monitors are available? With a smart meter, you don't have to take manual meter readings and report them to your energy provider as the meter will do this automatically.

Asides from proper calibration, two other useful features to have are a built-in display and being able to input your energy unit price directly into the monitor. Having these features ensures you to get a direct reading on how much something costs to run. This can save you from having to do more maths, always a plus.

If you'd prefer to shop in person, you can sometimes find plug-in energy monitors at your local hardware store. Can I get a free energy monitor? Some smart plugs have energy monitoring capabilities, but they don't usually come with a built-in LCD screen. They require a smartphone and wi-fi connection to function, and are primarily used to turn things on and off remotely. What to avoid when buying an energy monitor OVERLOAD PROTECTION: This electricity meter has overload protection function. When the power of the whole machine exceeds the rated power of the display, which is 1650W, the LCD will display "overload" with a rumbling noise to warn the user, and automatically disconnect the power supply of the display to prevent damage. Plug the appliance into the power meter for at least 24 hours. Note the total kWh used and compare this to the average on your power bill (kWh/day). An appliance that uses 1kWh in 24 hours, on a 10kWh/day bill, represents about 10% of total power usage.

It's important to keep in mind that buying an energy monitor won't automatically reduce your bills – you'll have to do that yourself by finding and unplugging power-hungry electronics. You can hook up and measure almost anything that uses electricity, as long as it has a three-pronged UK plug. This includes single devices such as a kettle, washing machine, or electric oven. Power monitors can also measure how much energy several different electronics use through a power strip, such as a TV and speaker setup or a desktop computer with multiple screens. Warning & Easy To Operate - Once the load exceeds the power value you’ve set (Max. 3120W/13A), the LCD will keep flashing “OVERLOAD” icon on the screen. You will know the appliance is high energy consumption. It helps a lot in ensuring electricity safety in your home and minimizing the loss. Press “FUNCTION” button to choose the monitoring mode. “COST” button to set the unit electricity price. “UP” and “DOWN” button to adjust the price. “RESET” button to clear all settings. For this article, we're focusing solely on the kinds of energy monitors you can plug into an outlet. What is the difference between a smart meter and a plug-in energy monitor?Both devices can help you to see how much power you're using and how to reduce your energy consumption. Power Factor - Decimal between 0 and 1. Note: Volts x Amps x Power Factor (as a fraction of 1) = Watts

These can be reviewed over their typical usage time. If you normally use the TV for 4 hours in the evening, measuring it over this period will indicate its contribution to your power bill. While it is more expensive than the average energy monitor, we splurged on this one because RS Components has a good reputation for its monitors being well calibrated. Overload - Optional overload setting. ‘Overload’ will flash when power draw exceeds this value. Press the ENERGY button for 2 seconds and release to adjust. The power meter described above is ideal for assessing any plug-in appliances. But understanding your energy usage can go well beyond this, here are some examples:

Types of devices covered:

Cadbury Gifts Clarks Complete Unity Yoga Converse Crampton & Moore Outlet Crocs Currys Currys Clearance You can measure an ongoing read on something that is always plugged in or turned on, such as a refrigerator, desktop computer or TV. MULTIPLE MEASUREMENT FUNCTIONS: This power energy meter can measure and display voltage, current, energy, frequency, power factor, maximum current & power, time days cost and total kWh. Energy monitor plug with 7 modes for your choice. NOTE: The "day" and "time" are only counted for device with power larger than 0.5 watt. (Will not count time when device in standby mode). A great home assistant for energy saving and energy monitoring and bill saving.

MULTI-MEASUREMENT】: 8 modes, this monitor can measure power (w), energy (kWh), electricity cost, current (A), voltage (V), frequency (Hz), Max power, Min power etc. Easy to use and operate, suitable for many types of appliances, such as computers, TVs, refrigerators, ovens, printers, game consoles, etc. Ideal for monitoring the energy consumption of household appliances. Enter set-up as above, but press UP when TARIFF 1 appears to switch to the DUAL TARIFF setting, then press OK. OVERLOAD PROTECTION】: When the load of the connected outlet exceeds the set value, "OVERLOAD", will flash on the display and the LED indicator will flash to warn the users. You can also set the alarm for KWh. VERSATILE MEASUREMENT: This energy meter can measure and display CO? eions (CO?/KG), power (W), energy (KWh), voltage/Hertz, Ampere/Hertz, power factor, minimum power and maximum power. 8 modes of energy monitor plugs for you to choose, make your life more convenient.

All British energy suppliers must aim to install a smart meter in every home as part of a government programme to replace older energy meters. Getting readings this way can help you determine whether it's worth using something in longer, larger uses. It can also show you the difference in modes like a lower-temperature wash, eco or economy modes, and so on.
