The average person drops $1,200 every year paying for their electricity-yikes! Offering the possibility to cut that figure back by 15-to-20 percent,TED (The Energy Detective) monitors your entire house's energy use in real time, so you can see what you're spending, and, perhaps more importantly, how much juice you're pulling off the grid. Turn the TV on, or wait until the fridge isn't running, and watch what happens; we think you'll be surprised.

Based on the concept that if you can measure it, you can manage it, TED will show you, in dollars and in sense, how your behavior directly affects your energy use (and, once a month, your bank account). It takes the guessing out of conserving energy, and can help you prioritize your conservation based on what saves the most. TED retails for about $140; if you're anything like the average energy user, it'll pay for itself in about a year. Learn more from TED's site.
