Editor’s Pick: TED The Energy Detective
TED The Energy Detective is our Editor’s Pick in power monitors, because after careful research, it’s the one we bought.
TED continuously monitors electricity consumption for the entire home, not just one appliance or circuit.
TED ,The Energy Detective, lets you know immediately how much electricity your home is consuming, how much money you spend on electricity each day, how much you have spent on electricity so far during the billing cycle, and much more.
With TED you will help conserve energy and save money.
TED comes in three pieces:
- an attractive receiving display unit that plugs into any household outlet,
- a transmitting unit that is located inside the household circuit box,
- and two current transformers that clamp around incoming power lines.
Installation should only be performed by a professional electrician or someone who is knowledgeable of household wiring. more info

Is it Safe to Shop Online?
If you’ve never shopped online, you might be concerned about scams and fraudulent retailers.
The good news is that with a little commonsense and know-how, you have nothing to worry about. Millions of people shop online everyday.
I personally have been doing business on the Internet since 1997, both buying and selling – LOTS and LOTS of buying – and was once cheated out of $9.97 by a PayPal merchant who closed his account before I could download the digital product.
PayPal refunded my purchase.
We’ve got your back.
To counter the risk of promoting fraudulent sellers here at MyEnergyPal, we deal only with reputable merchants – primarily Amazon.com, which imposes stringent rules on its merchants regarding safe, secure shopping and reliable after service.
Moreover, being energy conservation enthusiasts ourselves, we have purchased and reviewed most of the products that we recommend.
Too, Ed is truly a Master when it comes to finding great deals online.(The UPS, DHL and Fedex guys all know us by our first names.)
Seriously, it never fails to amaze me how Ed can manage to find products online that sometimes sell for as little as 10% of retail.
We will definitely share our best sources with you.
Saving energy, saving the planet and saving money at the same time — it’s all good!
Cheers,
Ros
P.S. If you are really concerned about protecting your cards and your identity, I’d suggest taking a look at Lifelock.
