How does it work?
The Saveometer is a Personal Smart Meter that has three basic parts: a sensor clip, a transmitter and a display that houses a receiver that "talks" to the transmitter every few seconds. When the sensor clip has been attached around the appropriate wire at an electricity meter it detects the current or electricity that is passing through the wire, and this information is sent via the transmitter to the Saveometer PSM display. The display is intelligent, and contains a microprocessor and many electronic circuits. It interprets and stores the information received and displays it in a way in which the owner of a Saveometer PSM finds most useful.
Electricity
Put simply, the Saveometer interprets in real time what the generally hidden static electricity meter is registering, and presents the cost clearly on an attractive portable display so that you are always kept informed and can remain in control of your electricity costs. Even turning on a light will be detected by the Saveometer PSM, and the precise cost of running that lamp is displayed within seconds.
Gas
In a similar way to monitoring your electricity the gas transmitter, once attached, reads the pulse signals sent out by your gas meter and regulary sends this to your Saveometer display, providing you with up to date gas consumption at the press of a button.
Your Saveometer display is already prepared for gas. Simply add a gas transmitter to keep track of your gas as well as your electricity costs, and you will be able to immediately start saving more every day. A gas transmitter is simple and safe to fit yourself, and takes less than 2 minutes. The battery operated transmitter uses a lithium battery with a guaranteed life of over 12 years, and is manufactured to the same high standards as the Saveometer.
New - Monitoring GAS
There are millions of gas meters throughout the UK that are suitable for the new Saveometer gas transmitter, but unfortunately there are still plenty of meters that are old or otherwise unsuitable. To check whether your gas meter is suitable please click on the link at the bottom of the page and look at the photographs and model numbers alongside and check whether your meter is included. It may be necessary to look closely at your meter so please check carefully to avoid disappointment. If your meter is not listed then all is not lost. Some gas suppliers are prepared to upgrade gas meters that are old or unsuitable, so don’t hesitate to call them to request a replacement meter that will provide suitable pulses for the Saveometer Gas transmitter and sensor.
How will the Saveometer help me to save money?
The Saveometer PSM is designed to help adopt prudent and economic use of electrical energy within the home, office or work place.
By clearly displaying how much electricity is being used at any time it is easy to make simple choices about how to use your electricity more efficiently.
The Saveometer PSM will also show historical spend, highlighting trends and making it easy to alter behaviour and immediately start saving money.
The Saveometer PSM is also great for checking you haven’t left appliances on unnecessarily or by mistake. You will soon become familiar with the standby cost of running your home or office, a quick glance before leaving or retiring to bed will confirm all is well; a higher than usual reading could mean something has been left on – great for safety and for saving money too.
