ABSTRACT:
Monitor apparatus and method for monitoring operation of an appliance to determine the proper size of the appliance with respect to energy output capability, the appliance having an on state wherein maximum energy output is provided and an off state wherein minimum energy output is provided. The monitor apparatus (20) includes a housing structure (26). First and second clock means (22, 24) are supported by the housing structure (26) for recording time. The first and second clock means (22, 24) are observable from the outside of the housing structure (26) so that the time recorded by the first and second clock means (22, 24) is readily observed. Power supply means (44, 46) is supported by the housing structure (26). Switch means (28) is mounted on the housing structure (26) switching the first clock means (22) on and off. The monitor apparatus (20) further includes means (50) for switching the second clock means (24) when the switch means (28) is in the on position and the appliance ( 40) is in the on state and for switching the second clock means (24) off when the appliance (40) is in the off state. Accordingly, the second clock means (24) records the total time that the appliance (40) is in the on state during the time that the monitor apparatus (20) is on as recorded by the first clock means (22).
