Helping you Save Start saving on your electricity bill right away with a PowerCost Monitor. The success of this simple, attractive device is based on the proven value of real-time feedback - helping householders save from five to 20 percent on their monthly electricity bills.
With A Powercost Monitor You'll Be Able To See At a Glance:
The amount of electricity your home is using from moment to moment;
The difference in electricity consumption caused by turning on and off the various electrical appliances in your home. The more electrical appliances you turn off, the lower the values displayed. The more appliances you turn on, the higher the values. The total amount of money you are spending on electricity.
The PowerCost Monitor is an excellent tool to help you save. By keeping the current value of the Display Unit as low as possible you will use less electricity - up to 20 percent less every month.
And that means, not only are you saving on your electricity bill every month, but you're also reducing greenhouse gas emissions; and reducing demand on the power grid.
Display Features The PowerCost Monitor features an attractive, counter-top Display Unit that looks like a small electric clock. At the push of a button it displays, in real-time, your moment-to-moment and total electricity costs in dollars and cents and in kilowatt hours.
You will also be able to see your peak energy cost within the last 24 hours. It also displays the time and outside temperature. A battery indicator lets you know when your battery power is low and a signal indicator lets you know the strength of the signal being received from the Sensor Unit.
How It Works
The PowerCost Monitor is a home energy monitor that shows you what your household's electricity consumption is from moment to moment and in total. From looking at the PowerCost Monitor, you can see in real time how much electricity your home is using. Your PowerCost Monitor's smart technology calculates your home's electricity use and displays that information in a way that we can all understand - in dollars and cents as well as in kilowatt hours. You simply have to program in your utility's electric rate.
Your PowerCost Monitor ™ Includes Two Components:
An easy to install Sensor Unit that you can simply attach to the outside of your electric utility meter. Once fastened in place, the sensor reads the amount of electricity the household is consuming in real-time and transmits the information wirelessly to the Power Monitor, located inside the home.
A wireless, durable Power Monitor that resembles a small digital clock. With a range of up to 100ft from the sensor unit, you can place it just about anywhere in your home - in the kitchen, on your nightstand or conveniently placed on the wall in your hallway. Anytime of the day, you can look at your Power Monitor to see:
How much electricity your home is using in real time;
How much money you are spending on electricity as you consume it;
The highest amount you spent on your energy usage in a 24 hour period;
The time, the temperature at meter location, signal strength and the battery strength of both the display and sensor units.
Is my Meter Compatible with the PowerCost Monitor?
The PowerCost MonitorTM is compatible with over 90% are meters deployed in North America, including both traditional disk meters, and newer digital meters. There are however specific models and limitations that prevents installation on every meter. The following list highlights the most common digital meters that have a pulse for the sensor to trigger off of and those that do not. For disk meters, if the sensor can "see" the black mark and disk from the front, then alignment is possible, provided there is no plate covering the disk.
If your meter is not listed, or if you have any questions as to why your meter is not supported, please feel free to email support@bluelineinnovations.com and a trained technician will respond to your query.

The PowerCost Monitor consists of two components - a small display (which you can place anywhere inside your home) and a sensor unit (which you attach to your electricity meter).
The display unit, located inside the home, receives a wireless signal from the sensor unit which is attached to the outside of your electricity meter. The sensor unit can be easily installed by the homeowner. The sensor unit transmits your meter information to the in-home display unit where your electricity information is displayed in kilowatt hours and dollars and cents.
The PowerCost Monitor is not a utility meter. The PowerCost Monitor simply displays your electricity usage in dollars and cents and kilowatt-hours. It is not a utility meter and is not intended for billing purposes. Data displayed on the PowerCost Monitor is provided for informational purposes only. Owing to timing of meter reads by your utility and combinations of flat rate charges and consumption-based charges, the "Total" readings on your display will not exactly match what you see on your electric bill.
Note : The Power Cost Monitor measures total home energy consumption at the meter. To also measure the power consumption of individual appliances, consider purchasing the Power Cost Monitor as part of a Total Home Energy Monitor Kit.
