New Arrival at Cary Memorial Library!

LexGWAC has donated two Kill-A-Watt meters to the library. These devices help you see what appliances are energy efficient in your home. Simply connect your appliances to the Kill-a-Watt electricity usage monitor and it will assess how efficient they really are. The unit's large LCD display counts consumption by the kilowatt-hour, the same as your local utility. You can calculate your electrical expenses by the day, week, month, or year while also checking the quality of your power by monitoring voltage, line frequency, and power factor. Now you'll know if it's time for a new refrigerator or if that old air conditioner is saving you money.





The Fair was Sponsored by
the Lexington Global Warming Action Coalition and
the Lexington Climate Action Committee


Supported by a grant from
