    Fitting a Power Meter to a CU Part 1

    Fitting a Power Meter to a CU Part 1

    This is the final part of the installation - the Lutron Homeworks. Having lived with it for 10 years we're every pleased. Just need to workout how to reduce the circa 7500Kwh/yr electricity consumption, I'm looking forward to getting the Emporia system up and running.

    Fitting a Power Meter to a CU Part 1

Re the use our space heating and DHW is by gas/solar hence the desire to understand where all the eletricity is being used, if it was water I'd think there was a leak in a pipe! For the power would it be acceptable to set up an FCU next to the CU and take a live feed...

    Thanks again. There are two of us living in a 4000' sq ft dwelling, we use circa 7500 Kwh/year with LED lighting etc and I'm keen to know where its going so that we can reduce consumption hence the interest in the circuit level monitoring of the Emporia product.
