LAKE COUNTY >> Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) will conduct Kill-A-Watt demonstrations to help customers better understand their energy usage. The demonstrations will showcase the toolkit funded by PG&E which is available for checkout at all Lake County library branches at no charge.
The toolkit contains a Kill-A-Watt meter which is a small device which measures the amount of energy consumed by electrical appliances. Armed with information, residents can make informed decisions about whether to replace an old appliance and the importance of unplugging electrical devices when not in use.
PG&E will show customers how to use the Kill-A-Watt meter by connecting the meter to common appliances like a fan, lamp, and hair dryer during the interactive library demonstration.
The toolkit is available to be checked out for at least a week. Each kit contains a meter and instructions in English, Spanish, and Chinese.
