Hello,

We would like to introduce to you a great little device which can save you & your family money on your next electric bill!

P3 International Corporation based out of New York as a device everyone should have, whether it is a home or the office to monitor electricity.  The KILL A WATT Energy Monitor...

I'm sure if your families are like ours you have multiple Tv's, computers, microwave, refrigerators, freezers, light & lamps, oven, dryers, ceiling falls, etc, etc,.  You are starting to get the drift, running all the time in your home or office.  Well with the Kill A Watt device you can find out which ones of these appliances are costing you the most money!

While a lot of anyones bill may be attributed to the summer heat and running the A/C or the winter cold and running the Furnace, many other appliances can be running up your bill and you don't even no it.  With the Kill A Watt you now have a way of finding out which of those devices are doing just that.

The Kill A Watt is a handy little device weighing only about 5 ozs and measuring approximately 5"H x 1 1/2" thick x 2 1/4W.   As you can see on the front it can have appliances with either a 2 or 3 prong (grounded) at 125v plugged into it.

The Kill A Watt also has an easy to read 2" display screen to make seeing the numbers at ease on your eyes.

Also, there are 5 buttons to check the Volt, Amp, Watt &VA, Hz &PF, and MOST IMPORTANTLY the Purple Button for the KWH & Hour(time).

We have concluded our own test with a humidifier we run in the house about 5 months out of the year.  The humidifier is ran 24/7 while in use as our home is really dry during the autumn and winter months.  The humidifier is made by Honeywell and can be purchased for about $70 at any Walmart.

To begin, we plug the Kill A Watt into the wall outlet.  Then we plug the humidifier into the Kill A Watt itself thru the front.  Please use the picture above for the reference to the buttons on the Kill A Watt.

After 2 hours of continous use this is the numbers we get from the Kill A Watt.

124 Volts are being used when the humidifier is running.

0.55 is the AMPS, our current outout being used

40 is the Watts being used (push the Watts button again to get the VA number)

60 is the VA or approx power being used

39 is the Hz, or frequency voltage of output in use (push the Hz button again to get the PF)

59.9 is the PF which is the power factor

NOW, for the money saver button, the Purple Button!

We have used .007 Kwh in the 2 hours we have allowed for our test purposes.  By pressing the Purple Button you get either the time or the KwH used.

The Kill A Watt can monitor time up to 1000 hours in one cycle.  At the beginning it will display 00:00 up to 100 hundred hours.  After this it will not show the minutes but just hours up to 1000 where it will start the cycle all over again.

Now back to the money savings!

Checking with our electric company, we find our Kwh cost is $.07 (which will be going up some 40-55% Jan 2nd in most of Central Illinois, OUCH.)

We divide our .007 Kwh by 2 to get us to.0035 Kwh used by hour.

Take .0035 x $.07 and you get $0.000245 per hour!

If you multiply $.000245 X 24 (a day) $.00588

By Month 30 X $.00588 or $.17 a month

By simply math we can calculate running nonstop for our humidifier to be $.88 for our 5 months of use.  Relatively cheap for something running none stop, but none the less we know how much it is costing us.

If testing something big like a refrigerator we would advise to let run for at least 24 hours to get a true measurement of how much KwH are actually being used in a day to compute your calculations.

As you can see the Kill A Watt is an extremely easy device to use and one you and your family could use over and over again.  Just don't be surprised if you find that one item which is costing you a bundle!!

Thanks for reading our Guide and please feel free to ask any questions.

Thanks again,
