Energy efficiency and smart meters

How can a smart meter help with energy efficiency?

During your appointment you may have been given some energy efficiency advise from your engineer. If you would like to see more tips and advice please visit our energy efficiency page.

The good news is smart meters can significantly enhance energy efficiency in several ways:

Up to date data: Smart meters provide near to real-time data on your energy use through an In-Home Display (IHD). You can decide how often you want data to be sent back to us. This allows you to see how much energy you’re using and the cost, helping you identify appliances or habits that are using more energy than you expected.

No more estimates: With smart meters, you get billed based on your actual energy use rather than estimates sent to us.*

Time-of-Use tariffs: Smart meters enable you to take advantage of time-of-use tariffs, which often offer lower rates during off-peak hours. Learn more about our Time-of-Use tariffs.

Energy Insights: Energy Insights through our app can help you understand your energy use patterns. Reviewing your Energy Insights can help you make decisions about how you use energy within your home, these could include upgrading to more efficient appliances or adjusting your heating and cooling settings.
