If you are wondering how your electricity and gas bills mount up, having a smart meter installed is a great way to track your energy use – and get accurate bills.
Smart meters measure how much energy you are using and how much it is costing, and you can see how much you spend each day. The meter automatically sends readings to your energy supplier – so you receive accurate bills rather than estimated ones. They can also be installed if you are on a prepayment meter.
All you need to do is contact your energy supplier to make an appointment for installation – they will need access to do this. Depending on your supplier, they can also give you access to flexible tariffs that can help save money. For example, some suppliers offer cheaper electricity at off peak times. Using off peak electricity helps in managing the electricity supply and in reducing our impact on the environment, as well as helping you save money.
