efergy Energy Saving Device
The efergy electricity meter is a wireless kWh meter that helps you track how much energy you consume. This encourages you to reduce energy consumption and cut carbon emissions while still saving money.
The efergy energy monitor transmits accurate results of how much energy you are consuming to the hand held LCD display which you can carry around your home or office. Efergy updates every 6 seconds how much power you are consuming, how much money this is costing and an estimate of your personal contribution to the climate change. Walk around your home to your hearts content turning things on and off to see how much energy appliances use. Once you have this information you, your family, or business, can visually see the benefits of saving energy. The data is stored in an easy to access CPU memory so you can actually see the effects of your changing energy habits. Comparing day-to-day usage gives direct feedback of how switching appliances off can reduce energy use, cut costs and eventually lead to reducing carbon emissions. The efergy meter is an excellent educational device. It is easy to use, displays personal energy consumption and increases awareness of important issues related to electricity, kWh, energy, global warming and the environment.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Will the efergy kWh meter calculate my electricity bill?
The efergy meter is not designed to act as a replacement to your existing electricity meter. The meter is accurate to approximately 10%. The design of the kWh meter is to make the user react by instantly seeing how much power they are consuming. The internal memory helps keep track of running costs and is designed to be used as a guide to cut your energy costs.
Does the efergy electricity meter need batteries?
Both the transmitter and receiver require 2 x AAA batteries. Batteries are not supplied with the efergy meter. We recommend using rechargeable batteries.
Do I need an electrician to install the efergy saving meter?
The sensors should easily clip directly on to the outside of your existing meter wiring. If you are in any doubt or concerned about the safety of your existing meter wiring, always consult an electrician before attempting to fit the efergy meter yourself.
Will the stored information be lost in the event of a power cut?
NO. The information will remain unless you reset the efergy meter.
Can I view data from months ago?
YES. The efergy meter will store up to the last 2 years information. It also stores last 7 days and last 4 weeks data so you can compare easily and in minutes your energy habits in the last days or weeks.
How sensitive is the efergy electricity meter?
The efergy monitor is sensitive enough to register electricity consumption of an energy saving bulb of 10W. Variations in mains voltages being supplied is the main factor in sensitivity of the meters.
What is the range of the display unit from the transmitter?
The wireless display has a range of 4070m. While in open spaces the rage will be longer, tests in the UK show distances up to 4th floors between the transmitter and monitor to be fine.
Should I unplug the monitor when I go on holiday?
You could do, but you may find it interesting to see the power you are using / wasting when the house is left unoccupied and theoretically when it should be using very little. The fridge and fridge freezer will probably be the only appliances consuming electricity.
