Could a smart meter help you stay on top of your energy use?
Smart Meters are a great way of helping you keep track of how much energy you are using and the credit you have left on your prepayment meter.
You can get one for free from your energy supplier.
A smart meter shows you:
- How much energy you are using
- How much credit you are spending and how much you have left
- Which appliances use a lot of energy in your home
You can top-up a smart meter at the shop, online, using your supplier’s app or by phone.
