Mike and Monica’s Centameter turns cents into dollars

Christchurch couple Mike and Monica’s Centameter has saved serious money on their power bills – simply by turning off power switches when they don’t need them.

They have saved around $80 a month on their power bill, from about $210 to about $130, since they installed the Centameter two years ago.

“It made us more conscious of things that were switched on – now it’s just the norm to switch things off when we’re not using them, “says Mike.”It’s no sacrifice, quite straightforward really.”

The Centameter had shown them how much power used by appliances and lights when they were unnecessarily left on, he said.
