 Kill-a-Watt

Use
the Kill-a-Watt meter to track total
power consumption by the hour, day,
week, month or year for any standard
household appliance that plugs into
a 110 volt outlet. Also use it to
check computers, table lamps and most
other devices that plug into standard
wall receptacles. The Kill-a-Watt

(Hz), and power factor (PF). There
are no batteries required. Get it

 Hygrometer
This
Bemis hygrometer is a calibrated digital
humidity and temperature gauge. It
measures humidity in a range from
10% to 99% and temperature from 14
degrees to 122 degrees Fahrenheit
(-10 degrees to 50 degrees Celsius).
It has a table stand and a wall mount.
Get it here.
Note:
It's extremely important to maintain
the proper humidity in your home.
Humidity levels affect your health
and the structure of your home. In
addition, high humidity levels can
cause mold and mildew growth within
the walls of your house. What's the
proper humidity level for your home?
It depends on a lot of factors. We
found the following article by the
Cold Climate Housing Information Center
at the University of Minnesota very
helpful. You can read it here.

 FloodStop
Prevent
major water damage with FloodStop.
Simply attach FloodStop to your water
supply line, and it will automatically
