BLI-28000 Blue Line Powercost Monitor

The Powercost Monitor ™ by Blue Line Innovations has been featured on FOX news, ABC and CNN online and is helping thousands of customers across Canada and the United states save money on their electricity bills by showing in real-time, how much energy your household is using.

Tests have proven that householders who use real-time feedback can reduce energy consumption by as much as 6 to 18 percent!

The Powercost Monitor ™ consists of two pieces. The sensor quickly and easily passively attaches to your electrical meter outside your house. It doesn't interfere with the meter or the meter reader's ability to read the meter. The sensor transmits the meter information to the display unit that can be placed on any counter top or mounted on a wall, and displays your usage information in kilowatt hours as well as dollars. As an added bonus it features a built-in clock and displays the current outdoor temperature as read by the sensor.

The Powercost Monitor™ can be programmed with your utilities rates and is compatible with flat, mult-tiered, on/off peak and time of use rates. It can also be used to calculate the consumption of individual appliances.
