I also thought I saw posts on electric monitors previously but have been unsuccessful in searching for the old threads on this site.
Any help you can provide is appreciated.

Those monitors don't monitor "potential problems" only the amount of electricity they are using and even that is basically an estimate for each individual appliance or circuit. If it dies you'll know very quickly unless you don't open it every day. I have a POWER FAILURE alarm on our garage FREEZER outlet so if power goes off in the middle of the night I will know or if I am away from home I will get an email and text and phone call... but even if I know there ain't much I can do about it other than keep it closed.
