I am an electrician who's company also does energy management. Waste of money]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[chris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 16th 2008 4:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to Save Money on Your Monthly Tech Bills 3]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-3/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-3/</guid><description><![CDATA[I disagree with Chris.  When used correctly The Energy Detective (TED) does result in significant savings.  A visit to the website,  www.theenergydetective.com will help one understand this product and how it can save on electricity bills.  <br><br>Has anyone else had personal experience with this product?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Panta]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 16th 2008 5:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to Save Money on Your Monthly Tech Bills 3]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-3/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-3/</guid><description><![CDATA[I can vouch for the savings.  I have had TED for almost a year now.  My children and I cut our use by more than $40 per month on the average using TED.  It is a great educational tool as well as an huge money saver.  TED paid for itself in no time at all.  It is NOT a waste of money, Chris.  Robs and children.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Robs]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 16th 2008 6:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to Save Money on Your Monthly Tech Bills 3]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-3/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-3/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have had this device for over a year it does work and when I sell my house the device will be coming with me.

Then keep a chart on your daily usage. If you really want to isolate usage monitoring you can read the meter before you turn your A/C or Central Heating (or any heavy usage item, i.e. electric dryer etc.) on, then again when you turn it off, and adjust your usage accordingly. Yes, it is more work than a gadget that will do it for you, but it's less money going out, and more for other needed things.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dennis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 17th 2008 2:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to Save Money on Your Monthly Tech Bills 3]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-3/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-3/</guid><description><![CDATA[I want a device that will cut the power when items are NOT in use. I know even when items are plugged in they are using current which goes against the bill(thanks edison)! I want something I can hook up possibly at the outlet so that it will register no usage until turned on. THAT will save me money thru the year]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 20th 2008 2:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to Save Money on Your Monthly Tech Bills 3]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-3/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-3/</guid><description><![CDATA[These is a item that will turn off stuff at the switch. Its called a strip or surge protector(many have it already on ent systems) just flip the switc when u are done watching and TV goes into OFF mode. Perhaps the law should read that appliances must turn off and be restarted manually (you know the little button on the set lol) and then the remote will work. there are reports that our appliance use more electricity OFF than when they are running. tonite count all the little LEDs glowing around your house.<br>d]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 7th 2008 3:19AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to Save Money on Your Monthly Tech Bills 3]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-3/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/16/how-to-save-money-on-your-monthly-tech-bills-3/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've been using TED for a few months now and can honestly say it's helped me save a ton. Of course, it's all a matter of how much effort you put into conserving, but TED just makes it way easier since you can see the dollars and cents adding up right in front of you. Great tip.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Robert]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 21st 2008 8:52PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
