LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — (Marketwire) — 05/15/12 — This month announced that it was introducing its most advanced smart meters into customers– homes. The new EnergySmart meters, which come with a stylish touch-screen display showing households how much energy they–re using, are aimed at helping customers cut their bills and save money. It will also mean customers will be billed more accurately and no longer receive estimated letters.
Now households will get to compare their gas and electricity use by the hour, day, week and year. The technology will also mean people will be able to set their own energy targets and a traffic light system will warn customers when they are using large amounts of electricity.
The EnergySmart monitor is designed to help ascertain which electrical appliances are consuming the most power – ensuring households are more informed as to how they can control their usage and energy consumption. Moreover, British Gas is committed to providing its customers with a set of online tools, which will help control energy usage.
According to Dean Keeling, Managing Director of British Gas Smart Homes:
“We want people to understand the energy they use and make informed choices about when to use it and how to save it. These new smart meters mean that households will find it easier to cut their energy use and save money.”
