Recently Steplight ran a competition on our Facebook and Twitter pages. Prizes included a wireless energy monitor and our popular plug-in power meter.
We asked entrants what they hoped to find out with these devices. Here are our three winners:
I’d like my kids to see exactly how much power leaving all their lights and consoles on actually uses – and then change their ways!
- Alison J. via Facebook
What does the bore pump cost to run? And the water tank pump/filtration system? etc. Then once I have some answers next to rein in consumption!
- Tina S. via Facebook
Friday is the first day of winter, a Power Meter is a no brainer to find our energy suckers and reduce the energy bill too.
- ‘Sustainable Mum’ via Twitter
And here’s what some others had to say:
I want to lessen my bill and bust all the shonky energy saving devices.
- Phil R.
I’m constantly trying to reduce power usage in my house… some things I can’t switch off like incubators and heat pads for the wildlife I have in care as I am a volunteer carer, but it would be great to be able to monitor the usage of all household appliances so that I can try to reduce the things that are not essential, as this would help to balance the essential appliances that I have to have running 24/7.
- Shannon M.
Anything to stop getting a bill for 3 months during Winter that was $2200! Eeeps!
- Sally R.
I’d like to know how much energy my house is consuming when I am not there.
- Jam S.
I’m extremely power conscious yet my bills are still sky high and I don’t know why. I’d love to compare my Steplight Power Meter or Energy Monitor data against my suppliers “data”. Power to the People!
- Dom D.
Just what we need to see how much more we can save since installing all LED lights in the home.
- Wendy H.
I’d like to know what my energy usage will be in our new house before I get slugged with a massive bill, and hopefully do something to reduce usage.
- Cathy M.
I hope this will allow me to clear up the uncertainty about the performance of my PV system and the power consumption in my house so I can tun these to grater efficiency.
