You can save up to 20 cents on every dollar you're spending right now on your electricity bill - without changing your lifestyle. And the PowerCost Monitor will help you do it.
With a PowerCost Monitor you can tell at a glance how much electricity your home is consuming - moment-to-moment and in total. This is the advantage of real-time feedback on your electricity. Why wait for your electricity bill when you can see what you are spending on electricity as you spend it! Tests in Ontario and elsewhere have proven that householders who use real-time feedback can reduce electricity use by as much as 5 to 20%.
Real-time feedback means real savings for you. Make the PowerCost Monitor a regular part of your daily household routine. It's easy to install and simple to use. Please see the compatibility notes in our FAQ (click the FAQ button below) before purchase.

Note: This monitor will work with any standard residential electrical meter, whether it be digital (electronic) or electromechanical (spinning disc). It will not work on a business meter that uses demand pricing, nor will it work on a net metering system (such as solar or wind). Please read page 4 of the installation guide for the specific installation process for your meter type.
In trial tests for the PowerCost Monitor
in Ontario and elsewhere in Canada, many people have enjoyed real
savings on their electricity bills. There are a number of questions
which interested consumers have asked us about the PowerCost Monitor.
For your convenience we've listed the most frequently asked questions
below.
What is the PowerCost Monitor?
a. What it does:
The PowerCost Monitor is a real-time direct
feedback display device for domestic energy consumers. It will tell you at a
glance how much electricity your home is currently using and your home's total
electricity used in dollars and cents and in kilowatt hours.
For instance, as you turn on or off electrical appliances, you will be able to
see the adjustment right away on the clock-sized display which would be located
inside your home.
The PowerCost Monitor shows only your home's
electricity usage in real-time. Ultimately, it is up to you to use this
information to reduce your electric bill.
|
b. How it works:
The PowerCost Monitor consists of two components
- a small display (which you can place anywhere inside your home) and a sensor
unit (which you attach to your electricity meter).
The display unit, located inside the home, receives a wireless signal from the
sensor unit which is attached to the outside of your electricity meter. The
sensor unit can be easily installed by the homeowner. The sensor unit transmits
your meter information to the in-home display unit where your electricity
information is displayed in kilowatt hours and dollars and cents.
|
c. Is the PowerCost Monitor a utility meter?
|
No, the PowerCost Monitor is not a utility
meter. The PowerCost Monitor simply displays
your electricity usage in dollars and cents and kilowatt-hours. It is not a
utility meter and is not intended for billing purposes. Data displayed on the
PowerCost Monitor is provided for informational
purposes only. Due to timing of meter reads by your utility and combinations
of flat rate charges and consumption-based charges, the "Total" readings on your
display will not exactly match what you see on your electric bill.
