Energy at home

Install a smart meter

Smart meters are a replacement to traditional meters, and enable accurate bills, provide near real time information on your energy usage and costs, and give greater control over the purchase and use of energy. 

Smart meters can help to: 

  • Make your home greener by providing an understanding of which appliances use the most energy.
  • Save money through free installation and raising awareness of exactly how you are spending on energy. 
  • Save time by sending meter readings and information directly to your supplier. 
  • Get accurate bills according to your actual usage rather than estimates. 
  • Do your bit for the environment by enabling a smarter energy grid, with smart metering technology expected to help save Britain almost 30 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030. 
  • Keep your energy date safe as some of the top data security experts are involved in ensuring the safe and secure communication between your smart meter and supplier.
