The Efergy Elite is the replacement for the old Efergy. It has a
larger display than the original model, and it is compatible with dual
tariffs (such as Economy 7). In common with its ancestor, the Efergy
Elite shows you how much electricity is being used at a given moment in
time, the total amount of money being spent on electricity, and your
carbon footprint.
An updated wireless electricity monitor
The makers of the Efergy Elite claim it is possible to save up to 20%
off your electricity bill through greater awareness of your usage and
this is probably true. There is no doubt that understanding where you
are using electricity does cause you to change your pattern of
consumption. The Efergy Elite shows you via its clear and simple
graphical display how much electricity you are using and what your
daily average has been. The memory built into this model means that it
can show you your historic usage on a daily, weekly or monthly basis
and this can be in KwH, cost, or CO2 emission.
The greatest benefit of an energy meter is the ability to show the
difference in electricity consumption by turning on and off various
appliances. We suggest that the first thing to do in a quiet moment is
it install the Efergy Elite and then turn off everything in your home.
You will probably be surprised by the amount of electricity being
consumed by appliances you either forgot (the fridge perhaps) or have
never directly turned off (for example the boiler).Walk around the
house carrying the display of the Efergy Elite and see how the
consumption (and cost) increases as you switch your appliances back on,
one by one.
To use, clip the
sensor around the electricity meter's live feed wire, where it
measures the total electrical power entering the home/office. A signal
is then transmitted to the wireless display, where it shows how much
power is being consumed. Set up the cost of your electricity (the use
of dual tariffs such as Economy 7 is accommodated) and use for remote
real time monitoring of
domestic, commercial and industrial electricity supplies.
