There are many reasons to get the Kill A Watt to help you save energy at home, most importantly it will show you exactly how much energy you have been wasting day to day.

Here are just a few things this energy meter will tell you:

1. Tell you the Voltage of your wires
2. The Current you’re drawing
3. The Wattage Power
4. How much money you are wasting

You can read the power in both Watts or Volt-Amps. The reason this is so important is very complicated and I wish I could explain it, but frankly it’s a little over my head and I don’t want to get it wrong. To learn more you can click on the Kill-a-Watt link here.

The Power Factor shows how out of skew the timing of your electrons are from where they should be. You have probably seen dozens of as seen on TV products claiming they can keep you from losing Reactive Power but those other ones don’t work nearly as well as this does.

For me, the selling point of the KAW is that you can simply plug in your TV or any other electrical appliance, turn it off and then click the little pink button. Now come back in an hour or two and you will be shocked at the readout you get. If nothing else does, this will get you thinking about how to save electricity in your home.

The Kill A Watt will show you exactly how much money, in dollars, you would have saved if you had unplugged your TV instead of just turning it off. For so long we have been hearing about how much energy is wasted from keeping appliances still plugged in even if turned off, but for the first time you are going to really see the dollars and cents and how quick they add up.

I heard someone use the analogy that it’s like a weight scale, it won’t lose the weight for you but it will show you where you are at so you can then take it from there. It’s basically simply a great way to start saving energy at home.
