I recently installed an Emporia Vue with monitoring for the individual circuit my water heater is on. It captured the very significant difference in energy usage from replacing resistive heat with heat pump.
It’s much better for your clothes too, especially anything that stretches. I hang dry most of my clothes, then throw shirts in the dryer with a wet rag for 15 minutes to remove wrinkles.
