What’s a smart meter?

A smart meter is a digital electricity or gas meter. When it’s paired with an In-Home Display, it shows how much energy you’re using in real time, and what it’s costing in pounds and pence. You can even see where your home uses the most energy, helping you spot ways to save.

If you pay for your energy by topping up, we install smart Pay As You Go meters too.
