I am not sure if you can get them locally, I bought mine from Amazon.
I am willing to bet that there are cheaper monitors out there. The one I use monitors all power in, but also every circuit. So when my bill is 300$, I can see the space heater cost me x$ and my laundry dryer cost me y$.
A handy person could install this themselves, but if you are not handy or don't have the time you would need an electrician. Think around 300$ for the best device and 1 hour of an electrician's time.
If you were to buy the simplest monitor (only main power), it is a bit cheaper and easier to install. Link here. So only around 90$ assuming you DIY.
I was CONVINCED there was a problem with my meter, which is why I bought the system. It turns out I just had some appliances that used WAY more than I expected, and I had some bad habits with turning things off.
I guess since I mentioned DIY, if you are not comfortable don't even try. Electricity is dangerous and no one wants to find your corpse in the basement next to the panel.
I could talk for days about the cost of electricity in this state. I grew up in PA, and we are paying 300% more than my friends back in Pittsburgh.

I put a monitor in my panel. The amount I record with the monitor closely matches my NG bill.

According to this chart, this is the first time I have ever bought the dip. Until the dip is redefined that is.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a 10 x 20 is 200 sqft.

Did building permits come into play at all? I believe in Worcester it is technically anything over 120 sqft needs one. But I am not sure if this is something that anyone actually pays attention to.

Maybe if I procrastinate long enough, my infant will be old enough that I can actually do anything in the yard.

I second this, but I haven't been anywhere else recently to compare.
