Well we finally received the little power meter consumption calculator (or whatever you want to call it) that we ordered months ago. It turned out that it wasn't exactly free like they said as we still had to pay $8.99 shipping and handling but it's an impressive little gadget to have. It was easy to install with one half of it strapping on to your meter outside to watch the little wheel going around, and the other half sits in the house either on a shelf or hanging on a wall. It tells you how many cents per hour you are using in power, the running total you've spent since you set it up, the outside temperature and even the time. Not a bad little rig to have at all.So far we've learned our power costs per hour are as follows...
Lights - 1 cent
Refrigerator - 1 cent
Furnace - 2 cents
Coffee Pot - 3 cents
Toaster - 3 cents
Microwave - 3 cents
Water pump - 4 cents

We got ours a few months ago and we ordered one for my parents and for my MIL as well. We just love our handy little gadget. I like that we can also see what the temperature is outside! We are currently at $0.11/KWH. How cool is that?
I was a little miffed when I realized it wasn't FREE like they said and that we had to pay almost $9 in postage, but it's really a little price to pay considering the power cost monitor would have been a little over $100 if we bought it (and had not taken advantage of the deal).
I did some reading on the company's website. Quite interesting!
