A Speedometer for Your House

Some time ago, I opened my FPL power bill to a real shocker –- a $500 plus power bill! I'll bet many of you have had a similar experience. And just as bad, you're left guessing as to what went wrong. Is there something wrong in my house? Was this a one time occurrence or will I get another bill like this next month?

We as energy consumers just aren't given the information we need. The only feedback we have is that dreaded monthly power bill. How can you know how well you're doing with only a single monthly power bill to go by? How do you know which appliances contributed the most to the bill?

What we all need is a handy speedometer for our home. Something that can not only tell you how fast your house is guzzling down electricity, but where it's going and how this consumption compares to yesterday, last week, or even last month.

So my company, Wise Energy Online (WEO), created an energy monitoring solution that you can put in your home or small business that does just that – Tells you the who, what, when and where details about your electricity use. Details that you never thought possible, like...

  • Your projected power bill, well before the power company even knows.
  • Real-time details about your current power use, including what individual appliances are consuming.
  • Trending indicators to help you see when you're using more or less power.
  • A full breakdown of the costs for running your major appliances.

With this type of information, you can finally manage your power bill. You can uncover which components you're spending the most on and investigate options such as upgrading to more energy efficient appliances, adding more insulation, or any number of other possible solutions. The point is that now you have cold hard numbers to go by so that you can intelligently make these decisions and then track your results.

With the Wise Energy Online Monitoring Solution you can reduce your power bill, help contribute to reducing America's power demand, and never again go into shock when you open that monthly power bill.
