The Top 5 Benefits of Having a Smart Meter!

Hey everyone! I'm Angellica Bell, and I'm joined by my friend, Coleen Nolan, to discuss about a topic that's caught our attention lately – smart meters! You may have seen us talking about these on daytime TV recently.

We understand that energy management can be quite a puzzle, particularly with high energy prices and the approaching chilly season. But here's the deal: smart meters are the solution we've all been waiting for. In this article, we'll delve into the top 5 reasons why smart meters deserve your attention

Curious to learn more? Requesting a smart meter is quick and easy to arrange. As well as that, they don’t lock you into your current energy provider so you’re still free to switch if you want to. So don’t wait around, 'get a smart meter' to help take control of your energy usage.

Read on as Coleen and I delve into the top 5 benefits of having a smart meter.

1. Say Goodbye to Guesswork

First off, and this is a big one for Coleen… With a smart meter there is no more playing the guessing game with your energy bills! Smart meters send your usage straight to your energy supplier. They do it all securely and automatically - every day, half-hourly or monthly. So, when you get your bill, it's bang on accurate, and you're only paying for what you actually use. 

2. Predicting Your Energy Costs, Made Easy

This is something I love about smart meters, and is a key factor in how they can help you budget. 

Once the smart meter is in place (requesting your installation is super easy - just contact your provider!), you'll get a nifty in-home display. It's like having your energy usage on speed dial! You'll see your energy use and costs in near real-time, plus daily, weekly, and monthly breakdowns. It's like having a crystal ball for your next energy bill. No more surprises!

3. Goodbye, Manual Readings!

This was the real clincher for Coleen. No more jotting down numbers or awkwardly clambering under the stairs to get an energy meter reading – it's all automatic! Smart meters send your energy use straight to your supplier, and don’t store any of your personalinformation.

4. Uncover Your Energy Guzzlers

Another benefit I love for helping to make us all more efficient and conscious with our energy usage. 

Smart meters could help reveal which of your gadgets and gizmos are the biggest energy hogs. So, you can use your in-home display to work out what's eating away at those kilowatts. Time to detect those energy-sucking culprits!

5. Budget Like a Pro and Save

Last but not least, smart meters are like your financial wingman. Use that in-home display to track your energy usage and make savvy decisions. It's like having a money-saving expert in your home! Set budgets, monitor your spending, and make changes, and you could watch those savings stack up.

So, if you're ready to ride the smart meter wave and take control of your energy usage like Coleen and I, then start your smart meter journey here.

Eligibility may vary. Consumer action required.
