Get Winter Ready with a Smart Meter

As winter approaches, managing energy use becomes more important than ever. A smart meter can help you stay in control of your energy bills and make budgeting for the colder months a little easier.

Smarter energy use at home
Smart meters automatically send your gas and electricity readings directly to your energy supplier, meaning you’ll always receive accurate bills based on what you’ve used and not estimates. This can help you to plan ahead, avoid surprises, and keep your home warm without worrying about unexpected costs. You don’t need internet access to have one installed, so everyone can benefit.

See your energy in action
Smart meters come with an optional In-Home Display, which lets you see your energy use in near real time. It shows when you’re using more energy than usual, such as when you’re running energy-hungry appliances, so you can make small changes that could help lower your bills.

Accessible displays are also available, with features that can read information aloud. If you need one, just let your energy supplier know when arranging your installation
