Energy costs are on the rise which is making more of use energy conscious, but apart from switching off lights and power hungry devices that aren’t being actively used here’s another way you can save power.

For around 50 dollars you can buy a device that can monitor how much electricity any one device is using and estimate how much it costs to run.

The “Conserve Insight” from Belkin plugs in between any electrical device and the wall, giving you a good snapshot of where the bulk of your home’s power bill is coming from.

Plug a major appliance or electronic device like your refrigerator or computer into the Conserve Insight Energy Use Monitor and leave it plugged in for a week or longer. Note the amount of energy used and the cost per month. Looking at your energy bill, calculate the percentage of your overall bill each device uses to find where you’re spending the most.
