Current Cost Energy Monitor

Hi all,

I've recently discovered a service from google called Powermeter.
Its a free energy monitoring tool that tracks your usage over time, but its only compatible with a handful of monitors such as the ones from Current Cost.

Do a google search for "google power meter"

Has anyone seen any deals on Current Cost monitors, or voucher codes? They are just so over prices that I dont think i'd ever save any money from it.

Thanks
Dan

    Why don't you just take weekly meter reading, gas and electric and feed them into http://www.imeasure.org.uk/

    Its all free and unlike energy monitoring gadgets you will get an accurate result.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Thanks. I'll give it a go. Wish they had an iphone/android app to make it easier to enter in the meter readings each day.

    Search the iphone app store for "Meter Readings" - it is very good, allows you to enter your own daily / weekly reading and works out monthly cost, comparisons to previous month etc, draws graphs etc etc.

    yes there are several good apps for the iphone, but none of which cater for gas, electric and water,

    Yes there are. The "Meter Readings" iPhone app I mentioned does all utilities. But you could choose to ignore that and promote your own I guess - oh wait, you did...
