well, thank fuck for such devices.
i leave my oven on constantly and just pop food in when i want it heating. i never realised i was on a meter and paying for what i use. i thought the spinning disk on my meter was purely for showing off to friends.
now i realise i dont HAVE to waste energy. i have also stopped washing clothes, boiling water for baby bottles and dont have lights on. unfortunately my baby is now sick, we all smell and i have a broken leg from walking in the dark
/sarcasm
how do they think this will save us money?? we know we should use the minimun leccy and gas. we try but they just keep putting prices up when we cut down! less for more eh!
we switch things on when we need to. we wash when we need to. we have low energy lights everywhere and some are led. we also have an eco kettle (strange little device but works well as the mrs kept filling kettle for one drink)
how will a wall meter tell me how much energy one device uses? surely it just tells me how much im spending? we always have various appliances on at any time apart from the night. how does this help us telling us which are costing more (apart fromthe general knowledge that heating burns eleccy at a fair rate)? pointless!
