When in doubt, measure the power consumption yourself


Problem: You think some appliances might be inefficient, but we just don’t know.

Solution: Borrow a Watt meter from LabRATS to find out. For 120 Volt equipment it’s “plug and play” where the meter goes in series with your appliance. We have alternate meters for 208V equipment.

Benefits: You may find out your machine really isn’t as bad as you thought, or you may find out it’s not working correctly and needs repair. Your data may become part of our growing data file on instruments and power efficiency.

Costs: None. We’re happy to loan you our tools.
