In August 2008, the guy who sold me a home generator talked us into
getting an energy controller. He claimed that it has cut his kwh by
25%. 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. The only lifestyle change in 2008 was upgrade from
dial-up to DSL modem. The outside temperature was one degree
Farenheit colder in 10/08 when compared with 10/07.

As you can see, not a good experience. Would like to read your
experiences.





















Hi,
Now you learned, you are 600.00 poorer. Consider it as a fee for
valuable lesson, LOL!
