An eco-dad gadget gift?

Bahhhhh.

It’s nearly Christmas time and the energy-saving gadgets are coming out.

The meter is a small, neat, stand-alone visual display device that allows the user to monitor exactly how much electricity he is using. The Efergy meter also has a sophisticated, built-in memory function which totals up and records consumption at the end of every day, week and month on a rolling basis. This means the user really can keep track of his own energy usage.

As the data on the screen of the Efergy meter is refreshed every six seconds, the impact on power usage of turning an electrical appliance on or off can be seen immediately – it’s amazing to see just how much energy an electric kettle actually uses!

The Efergy meter is perfect for home use but can work really well for businesses too. Having a visual display of exactly how much electricity is being consumed, means users can turn off what is not essential, such as little-used printers or fax machines on stand-by, switch off unnecessary lighting and start to install things such as low energy light bulbs and push-timer switches.

Armed with this kind of detailed information, the Efergy meter really can help change people’s lives at home and at work and enable them to become more energy efficient and less wasteful when it comes to using electricity, without drastic lifestyle changes.

Plus, as well ad doing your bit for the planet in terms of reduced CO2 emissions, it will save money too, reflected in lower power bills!

Installation takes just a few minutes. It does not require any tools or cable-cutting, nor is it necessary to call in an electrician. Once set up, the transmitter has a range of 40 metres which makes the Efergy meter suitable for every type of home or office.

The Efergy meter costs £42.95.
