Kill A Watt Meter
The Rushville Public Library, Shelby County Public Library, Henry Henley Public Library, Morristown Library, New Palestine-Sugar Creek Branch Library, Laurel Community Library, Knightstown Public Library and RushShelby Energy have teamed up to provide a new source of energy savings information. This partnership makes a “Kill A Watt” home energy meter available for home use. Consumers can now find out how much it costs to run a home appliance and which appliances are using energy even when they’re switched off. Library patrons can borrow a Kill A Watt device, just like a book or DVD.

Plug the device into an electrical outlet and find out how much it’s costing to run refrigerators, computers, TVs and other home appliances. The Kill A Watt meter measures the electric consumption of small to medium household electronic devices and appliances, and can even help discover which appliances use electricity even when turned off. The meter calculates and forecasts cost by the week, month and year. The Rushville Public Library will allow all Rush County Residents to use these meters, without already having a library card. Kill A Watt meters will be made available to other libraries in the coming months.

Kill A Watt meters are now available at local libraries.
