3 Using Your IHD
Your IHD provides you with feedback that will enable you to
better understand your electricity bills and manage your
consumption. This section covers the ways in which you can use
your IHD.
3.1 Viewing your current electricity use
To view your home's current rate of electricity consumption, go
to the Current Use screens on your IHD shown below.
The large number on one screen shows your consumption rate in
kilowatts. The large number on the other screen shows the
associated cost of your consumption rate in dollars per hour. The
smaller number at the bottom of the screens show the current
tariff you are being charged for each kilowatt-hour of electricity
consumed.
To determine the cost of operating a single appliance, check the
current consumption rate on your IHD. Now, turn on an
appliance and note the difference between your first consumption
rate and the new consumption rate.
