One step better - if you want to see what your individual 110 volt equipment
is using. Watt Minder Electricity Monitor Meter
$ 23.97 at this site. May find a similar unit for a better price.

Subject: [Shop-talk] Remote electric meter readout
Hello,
I always have electricity bills higher than I expect,
and I've always wanted something that would tell me
how much electricity my house was using at any given
moment. (Then I could tell if my air compressor or
other shop tools were a significant contributor).
I thought I would have to buy something that had to be
attached to the main power feed to the house,
involving the services of an electrician (and $$$).
But then
I stumbled across a web site for an interesting
gadget:
http://www.save-electricity.ca/
This has a battery-powered optical pickup that
attaches to your electric meter and detects the
rotation of the disk inside it. Then it transmits a
signal to a desktop display that shows the current
power usage and other statistics. It's $139, which
seems quite reasonable.
Has anyone ever seen or bought one of these? Has
anyone ever heard of something similar for sale?
Ideally I'd like a system with a computer interface
that would let me log data, put it on a web page,
etc., etc.
Doug
