Leading power tool maker, Black and Decker, has seen the light and it’s ‘green.’ B&D has created its Energy Saver Series of energy monitoring tools to help you stop wasting energy and cash.
The Power Monitor (at left above) was the first energy saving gadget released in the Energy Saver product line. An easy to install wireless sensor is attached to your electric meter to show your electrical power use, and to send the data to a wireless handheld monitor. You program-in the rate that you pay per kilowatt (from your electric bill) and you can see in real time what leaving that computer on, using that toaster, or firing up that plasma screen is really costing you by turning stuff on and off. Seeing is believing.
B&D’s latest addition to the series, The Thermal Leak Detector (above right – coming soon) does just that — it shows where your home or apartment is losing heat via electrical outlets, windows, and poorly insulated gaps in door jams and patio doors, so you can take positive steps to help reduce your heating and electric bill by stopping energy loss. You set a reference temperature, point the device at the area you want to check and any change in temp is indicated by changing red and blue lights (hot or cold).
Stop guessing about your energy use and start saving money. Knowledge is power.
