Hohmies, want to check your energy use in almost real time with a free energy monitor? Then enter to win Blue Line’s PowerCost Monitor and WiFi today!
Hohm and Treehugger are partnering to give away the system on August 4, 11, and 18, and you can submit your name every day to win. (The units retail for approximately $249; Treehugger has the official rules here.) The PowerCost Monitor is a handheld unit displaying how much electricity you’re using—and how much it’s costing you—right now, as well as predicting your monthly total based on your current use. The WiFi unit wirelessly sends that data to your Hohm account, charting your energy use so you can track it over time. The charts help you pinpoint when your appliances are guzzling energy and figure out how much you can save! Studies have shown that monitoring your electricity use helps you lower it by up to 18 percent; plus, it’s just plain fun to watch the spikes when you turn on your dryer (which just might motivate you to use a clothes line!).
