When you can’t see how much electricity and gas you are using you don’t tend to think about it…. that is until the bill arrives!
Energy meters that show your electricity use in real-time, minute by minute, can and have been shown to reduce energy consumption by up to 20%.
When people are made visually aware, via an application on a home computer or a digital display, they can see how much power they are using and can take small steps to turn off or reduce unnecessary items.
For example, unwanted lights and appliances, increasing washing loads at lower temperatures, only boiling the kettle with the water you need and many more things.

Device stand-by management
There are also some clever devices around now that can make sure you don’t leave electrical equipment running unnecessarily.
By pressing a single button before you go to bed or as you leave your house, you can switch off all or a pre-programmed selection of your electrical equipment, simply and effectively while maintaining all settings.
