READERS are being offered a loan of free real time energy display units as part of a pilot scheme aimed at raising awareness about energy conservation.

These units visually display both the amount and cost of electricity used in the home in real time making households immediately aware of their electricity usage.

Those who use the units can experiment with various appliances and lights to see how the different consumption rates vary.

The units are easy to fit and use and can be sited within the house close to any electrical socket.

Previous research has shown that the use of these display units can result in people adapting their behaviour and reducing their energy bills by 5 to 15%.

There are 50 units on offer to begin with and these will be loaned on a first come first served' basis. The recipients of these units can keep them for three months, though will be expected to complete a series of questions, both at the beginning and end of the loan period. Feedback will be provided to all those who take part.

If you are a resident of Wirral and would be interested in loaning one of these meters, please contact Wirral Council on 0151 691 8697 or email stellaedwards@wirral.gov.uk
