At Home With the Energy Detective

By JOE HUTSKO

I used the Energy Detective, left, to monitor the energy-consumption profile of my various appliances.

Although home energy tracking devices like the single-outlet Kill A Watt or the whole-house Power2Save unit are gaining popularity in this energy-conscious age, I hadn’t tried one out until my electric bill topped out at $150 in January. That prompted me to invest in anEnergy Detective, a device that retails for $145 and promises to give homeowners a telling glimpse into their personal energy.

   I have not tried one yet but should do as I work in the green energy business! I was waiting for the price to go down a bit but I think I will need to bite the bullet.
