First, a whole house energy monitor. It's $299 and measures your usage 10,000 times a second. It uses this data to determine which appliances use how much. With this data you can make informed energy decisions. Do you know how much of your energy bill is for HVAC? I know mine.
Say, you've read that air drying clothes is the way to save the planet but you hate doing it, now you can know precisely how much you're saving. Leaving your Keurig on all day : bad idea? You'll know. Home - Sense.com.
The second tool is the black and decker infrared leak detector. Right now it's less than 30.00 on Amazon. With this you can see if your windows seal properly, is your garage door really a huge hot leak into the garage? You'll know with certainty. A FLIR camera is better but hundreds more. |
Even if I know all these things where energy is wasted and explain to the wife she's doing things wrong and she should cut back,
I would be sleeping in that hot garage.
