Efficiency Maine's Kill-A-Watt Program
Now Available at the Library
Presenting the Kill-A-Watt®, presented by Efficiency Maine
Sure to be one of the most requested and popular “whodunits” at public libraries around Maine is the Kill-A-Watt®.
No, it's not the latest mystery novel on the best seller list but rather an electricity usage monitor and educational tool kit available for free checkout from the library. The monitors will help Mainers detect the “energy thieves” in their homes, and the tool kit will help them put the lid on power consumption by appliances and electronics in their homes and businesses.
The Kill A Watt® and tool kit will be on loan in most Maine public libraries starting Monday January 12 as part of a state-wide community outreach campaign by Efficiency Maine, a program of the Maine Public Utilities Commission.
Mainers will be able to check out the Kill A Watt® monitors, just as they would check out a book, from their local library at no charge. These monitors simply plug into electrical outlets and then allow a consumer to plug in any appliance to get readout on how much electricity the appliance uses and then calculate how much money it’s costing.
The educational tool kits include a home energy savings tips brochure and energy tips bookmark which patrons may keep.
