Sense Home Energy Monitor – Making Sense of Your Juice Use

Ryan March 10, 2020 Leave a Comment

There’s not a lot of opportunity for monitoring or tracking power usage within a home. Sure, you can install outlet receivers to see how much a plugged-in device is consuming.

Get a Grip on Your Wires with The Volt Claw

Get a Grip on Your Wires with The Volt Claw

We periodically receive tools from different brands and not all of them make it to the front of the line for a potential review on HomeFixated. A couple years back, The Nonconductive Tool Company (NTC LLC) sent us a couple of their products to check out. For a while, these sat on the back-burner.
