Kill-A-Watt Debuts at C.H. Booth Library!

Want to save money on your electric bill?

Try one of our Kill-A-Watt Meters to find out how much any appliance or device uses. 

 

Simply plug in the meter, plug your appliance or device into the meter and wait 24 hours. 

 

Using the information displayed on the meter, you can calculate the number of kilowatts used per hour, day and year! Find out how much energy is used by cell phone chargers that are left plugged in 24/7, or how much energy you can save by unplugging your television when you go to sleep.  As energy costs continue to rise, this small meter can help save you money by discovering unnecessary electricity usage. 

 

Check one out today!
