RE: Re: Monitoring Power Consumption

["Paul Smith" <ukha@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tim,

I would recommend the units from Lidl as the ones I have from maplin have =
the socket upside down and also lose time when they are in use.

The lidl ones are so much better.

As for usage I now know that my office draws about 10units every 24 hours.

Our small heated pool take about the same but that's on only on E7 so not
s=
o bad.

Since getting a bill for =A3300 to bring up there estimates to our usage
I'=
m making notes on a weekly basis.


Regards,

Paul

I bought one of the units at LIDL that someone on the list pointed me=20
to. It was only =A35 and is very good, you can even enter the unit=20
price for electricity and just watch the pennys become pounds. It=20
finaly convinced me to turn of my HP UNIX server ( 700+VA).

I think it may have been a 1 week offer at Lidl, not sure.

You could also look at switching your supplier, take a look at=20
