In South Africa cheap electricity is a thing of the past – a 31.3% increase in tariffs by Eskom  has ensured that South Africans have felt it in their pockets. Although this is tragic in one sense,  it is making consumers more aware of the concept of saving electricity.

The biggest problem for most South Africans is the fact that the electricity bill only stares at you once a month. You generally have no idea what your consumption is like until the bill arrives. By that time it is too late to reduce consumption.

Enter  – the Electricity Monitor – a device that allows you to monitor your consumption when you embark on becoming energy efficient.  The device allows you to systematically monitor, test and go about reducing the amount of electricity you consume. Using wireless technology with a transmitter installed in the electrical distribution board allows you to place the device anywhere in the house.It’s that little thing in the house that reminds you to turn off lights, turn off extra devices and use energy efficient bulbs. Nifty indeed.

With prices ranging from R800 – R1300, I’m curious to know, would you own one?
