The more you understand about your own home energy use, the more you can save. Power Check is an energy efficiency and education program provided by Xcel Energy and the Artesia Public Library to put you "in the know". Take it home, plug it in, and see how much energy each of your appliances/electronic devices is using. The meter works on any standard 120-volt appliance or electronic device and is easy to use.
Plug the meter into your home computer to graph energy use and determine what changes you can make to save the most energy. Each Power Check meter comes with an easy-to-follow instruction booklet to help you avoid wasting electricity and money. The Xcel Energy's Power Check meter is available for checkout at the circulation desk of the Artesia Public Library to adult library cardholders in good standing. The meter can be checked out for seven days. If there meter is late, there is a $1.00 per day fine.
