Do you know just how much energy you’re using at home every day? No? Then get yourself a wireless energy monitor like the new Efergy Elite. It could save you up to 20% on your electricity bills.

Available on Gizoo.co.uk, the new Efergy Elite is a three-part system. One part hooks up to your electricity meter (via a simple clamp attached to the live feed wire). This is then hooked up to a wireless transmitter.

The transmitter broadcasts data to a handheld device that incorporates an LCD to show you just how much electricity you’re using day-by-day. In real-time.

Input the cost of your electricity tariffs and you can also analyse your home’s overall energy usage on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. With a little detective work, you can see when you’re using the most electricity and what appliances are the most power-hungry.

The Efergy Elite is available now and comes with an RRP of £42.95.
