 Cent-A-Meter from United Electrical Services
 

Cent a Meter displays an easy to read information on a large clear screen and immediately
shows the amount of electricity used by electrical appliances along with the running costs in
plane cent per value and an additional feature to display power consumption in respect to
greenhouse gas submissions generated. The Cent a Meter unit also shows what the ambient
temperature is inside your living or work area along with a humidifier, one other aspect many
fail to discuss is you may set the product in a way so that you can compare your electricity
usage to that of your main electrical retailer. So not only saving energy for the environment
with sensible electrical usage you can compare your kept readings with your next electrical
bill and save countless phone calls to your electrical supplier when you feel there may be a
discrepancy with your electrical bill.


Knowing the amount electricity used can help with safety issues also, one customer feed back
explained in there own words. After about a week of analysis with the Cent a Meter you know
exactly the average power consumption used, lets say 00.06 cents an hour, one particular morning
I looked across to the fridge and saw that the unit was showing 0.15 cents an hour and found it
strange as my husband left for work and my two teenage children were at school. So I walked up
stairs searching and found in the main bathroom our electric wall heater left on. It was a fine
example had there been no indication, of what could have gone wrong. I had planed to leave for
work my self so, I would hate to think the amount of power being used and possible fire damage
to our home.


There are three parts to the Cent a Meter firstly you have the main body with a large screen
with mode, navigation and alarm buttons, also the product comes with a stand.
A transmitter unit that sits next to your switchboard and a clip on sensor that attaches to your
main electrical live cable and pugs into the transmitter. The two popular applications are single
phase supplies and three phase supplies, the later needing an extra two leads that attach on the
extra two electrical phase supplies. You need to hire an electrician to install Cent A Meter safely.
