The Advantages Of Using A Smart Meter

in Resources

Smart meters are the latest way in which technology is helping to make our homes greener and more energy efficient. They are slowly replacing the old style energy meters that people have had in their home for years and require you to crawl underneath the stairs or go into the airing cupboard to read your energy usage of. For more information about these types of energy meters visit Utility Bidder.

With a smart meter you can easily see how much energy you are using and your provider is constantly kept up to date with how much energy you are using and when. Some other advantages to having a smart meter in your home include:

Identifies Faulty Appliances

Smart meters show you just exactly how much energy that you are using at any one time, thus making you aware of spikes which can be associated with a particular appliance that is faulty and not working correctly. Because of this you are able to deal with the issue safely and quickly.

Removes The Need To Submit Readings

With smart meters automatically sending out constant readings to your energy supplier it means that you no longer need to worry about having to submit one yourself every month or whenever it is required. It also means that you do not have to go crawling under the stairs or stand out in the rain taking a reading yourself.

Saves The Planet

Because they improve your level of awareness about how much energy you are using, it means that your behaviours and habits change so that you use less energy and put less pressure on the grid. It is estimated that because of the widespread use of smart meters, there will be a 24 percent reduction in greenhouse emissions from both commercial and residential buildings by the year 2030 – thus helping to save the planet.

Produces Accurate Bills

Sending your readings directly to your supplier means that you are only billed for the energy that you use. With a normal standard meter when you do not, for whatever reason, submit a meter reading, your supplier will be forced to estimate the level of energy that you have used, meaning that you may possibly end up paying more than what you should be. Smart meters provide greater consistency and always ensure that you pay the right amount.

Tracks Usage

The constant displaying of energy use lets you clearly see the amount of energy that you are using at any one point in time and how much this costs. Because it continuously monitors you, it encourages positive energy habits that result in overall energy saving.

Increases Tariff Offers

Most suppliers now favour those customers that have smart meters and as a result provide them with exclusive offers and tariffs in order to attract them. These are typically cheaper offers and opens up more choice when hunting around for energy deals.

It is clear to see then that there are many advantages to using a smart meter in your home so there is no reason not to get one when offered so.
