With a device like the P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor it is easy to save on your electric bill by finding out what appliances are the energy eaters. When electronic devices are plugged in they are using energy, even when they are not in use. The P4400 will help you determine how much energy these devices are using and from there you can decide if you should continue to leave them plugged in when they are not being used.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 20% of the average electric bill comes from these items that are left plugged in when not in use. This also includes items that are in standby mode. To reduce this unnecissary energy consumption plug any electronic into the P4400 and the LDC screen will tell you how much energy the electronic is using. The Kill A Watt also calculates voltage, line frequency, current, and power factor. You can essentially calculate your electric bill before you receive it in the mail. Saving energy means saving money and that is the benefit to using an Electricity Usage Monitor.

Our bedroom is always a bit cold in the winter and hot in the summer. The reason is that it's located on the opposite end of the house from our furnace. For years I've tried to think of ways to improve the HVAC into our bedroom, and then I stumbled upon the AirFlow Breeze Register. With a built in fan, the AirFlow Breeze is designed to pump extra hot or cold air into whatever room you install the register.

By using the AirFlow Breeze, it may avoid cranking up the heat in the winter or air conditioner in the summer to heat or cool a difficult room. It has 3 fan settings: Fast Speed 100 cubic feet per minute (cfm), Medium Speed 70 cubic feet per minute (cfm), Slow Speed 40 cubic feet per minute (cfm). And with a built in temperature sensor, you can setting the desired temperature, and the fan will cycle off and on to maintain the temperature setting. Powered via a 6-foot power cord in matching color.

Here are more details on the AirFlow Breeze register:

A dual flush toilet conserves water (and money) by offering a low-water flush for liquids. While these low flow toilets are great, they can be expensive, particularly if you already have a perfectly fine toilet in your bathroom. With the MJSI HYR270 HydroRight Drop-in Dual Flush Converter, however, you can easily convert a standard toilet into a money and water saving dual flush toilet.

From the Manufacturer

Winner of multiple awards for product innovation, the hydroright dual flush converter quickly and easily turns your toilet into a water-saving two-button toilet. The quick flush setting for liquids and paper reduces the amount of water used by up to 70% for liquids and paper, saving a family of four an estimated 15,000-Gallon of water and approximately 105 per year. Unlike other dual flush converters, the hydroright can be installed in less than ten minutes, without tools and without having to remove the tank. Because dual flush converters do not fit in every toilet, here are the exceptions you should know about before you buy: if you have a mansfield toilet, you will also have to purchase a standard flush valve. Your toilet tank must have at least 10-Inch height clearance(distance from where the flapper currently seats to lid bottom must be 10-Inch or more) for the hydroright to fit and work. The hydroright replaces only standard size flappers, the flush opening from tank to bowl should be 2-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch in diameter(this is the hole the flapper covers: some newer toilets have 3-Inch flush opening, hydroright does not work in 3-Inch flush or larger toilets). If the hydroright is installed in a toilet with an old ballcock, the arm of the ballcock may hit the hydroright and not work properly. In some cases, the hydroright can be turned to compensate. In other cases, purchasing a hydroclean or other pilot style fill valve may be required. MJSI, Inc., headquartered in Shorewood, IL is the manufacturer of the hydroworks portfolio of products that are devoted to water conservation, earth preservation and sound environmental plumbing. Recognized as toilet efficiency experts, MJSI's innovation has expanded the plumbing market from repairs to green toilet improvement.

In the hunt for programmable thermostats that are easy to install and operate, we came across the Honeywell Vision Pro 8000 Digital Thermostat. The first thing that caught our attention was the large digital display, which makes it easy to read and use. Maybe it's my age, but I hate having to squint at a thermostat to figure out what the temperature is in my home. This programmable thermostat is really easy to read.

Of course, a large display doesn't make the Honeywell a great thermostat. The Vision Pro 8000 is a 7-day programmable thermostat. You get multiple hold options that allow you to easily override any program. And it even comes with a humidity gauge. Here are the key features:

  • Effortless, Menu-Driven Programming - Simplifies programming by responding to your choices
  • 7-Day Programming - Allows separate programming for each day
  • Large, Clear Backlit Digital Display - Easy-to-read in various lighting conditions
  • Change/Check Reminders - Let you know when to service or replace filters, batteries, etc.
  • Energy Savings - Program to save up to 33% on annual heating and cooling costs (If used as directed. Savings may vary depending on geographic region and usage)
  • Precise Comfort Control - Maintains consistent comfort to the highest level of accuracy
  • Built-In Humidity Sensor - Displays current humidity and select models allows you to control dehumidification
  • Real-Time Clock - Keeps time during power failures and automatically updates for daylight savings
  • Multiple HOLD Options - Allows you to override the program schedule as desired, with temporary and vacation hold settings.
  • Model Numbers - TH8110U1003, TH8320U1008, TH8321U1006
  • 5-Year Warranty

There's one last feature to keep in mind. Sometimes we want the thermostat somewhere convenient, but the temperature gauge some place else. With the Honeywell Vision Pro 8000, you can buy an indoor sensor to place where you want the temperature reading to occur. The sensor communicates the temerature to the thermostat, and frees you up to place the programmable thermostat in a more convenient location in your home.

Sometimes a space in your home or office just won't stay warm. Maybe it's because the heating vents just aren't in the right location.
