In August 2008, the guy who sold me a home generator talked us into
getting an energy controller. =A0He claimed that it has cut his kwh by
25%. =A0 Here's what the manufacturer says: 8-10% realized in monthly
savings; investment return (36 months or less); reduced energy demand;
decreased heat dissipation (extends life of appliances); amperage
surge protection for all your home equipment.
$600 installed.
Comparing Oct. 2008 with October 2007:
3% *more* kwh were used in 10/08 even though the counting period was
two days less. =A0The only lifestyle change in 2008 was upgrade from
dial-up to DSL modem. =A0The outside temperature was one degree
Farenheit colder in 10/08 when compared with 10/07.
As you can see, not a good experience. =A0Would like to read your
experiences.
I thought you asked months ago if they worked and everyone here said
No.
I did ask but don't recall any responses. Guess that either my PC or
my brain has developed a glitch. Sorry.
