'Kill A Watt' Family Cuts Energy

By Eve Sullivan
TMCnet Editor

Ever wonder what household devices and appliances should be kept plugged in to the socket and which ones shouldn’t.
 
The Kill A Watt family of products, by P3 International, allows homes and businesses to cut energy costs and find out which electrical devices, appliances and components are affordable to keep plugged in.
 
Simply connect an appliance to the Kill A Watt device of choice and it will assess if the appliance is energy efficient or not. A LCD display will count consumption by the kilowatt-hour – the same as your local utility.
 
With these Kill A Watt devices, you’ll know exactly “watts” costing you or your business and the environment, P3 International says. The company’s website claims that they can save you up to $100 on your electric bill.

 
The Kill A Watt Electricity Meter, priced at $29.95, is an economical and simple tool to assess the efficiency of your electric appliances. Just plug any 115 Volt AC electric appliance into the meter and the large LCD display shows the power consumption of the appliance by kilowatt-hours. It can calculate the electricity cost of the appliance by the day, week, month or year.
 
The Kill A Watt EZ electricity usage monitor, priced at $49.95, will allow you to determine which machines are actually worth keeping in use. This device allows you to unplug the appliance and still see the readings. It also allows you to input your local KWH rates so that it can tell you exact dollar figures rather than just KWH reading – it does the math for you.
 
The P3 Kill A Watt PS, priced at $99.95, protects your valuable electronic equipment and appliances with this innovative power strip bundled with an electronic measuring device. In addition to protecting valuable electronics from power surges and spikes, this strip will actually measure how energy efficient they are and allow you to calculate your overall electrical costs. Now you’ll how much your entire computer or home theater is costing.

Founded in 1987, P3 International is a privately-owned manufacturer of solution-oriented consumer products. The company says it’s committed to manufacturing high-quality products that appeal to a variety of different people, from the environmentally conscious to the more technologically minded consumer.
