Read our essential guide to saving energy in your home.
Energy bills are on the rise. It’s a simple fact. And everyone is suffering. Unfortunately, some more than others. Cutting down on energy means cutting down on your bills. Small things such as heating the whole house when you only need to heat one room can have a big effect on your usage. Smart home tech can help you take back control and make sure no energy is wasted.
Take control with smart heating
With smart heating you can control your heating from anywhere. Set timers and schedule the thermostat to turn on/off at different times. If you forget to turn the heating off, or will be home later than planned, with the app, you can just turn it off. You can also set up monthly reports on energy usage and see how much money your saving, or need to save, by making small changes.

Upgrade to smart plugs
Every penny counts when it comes to our energy bills. Which is why, a smart plug can help. They can save your energy by switching of appliances that may be consuming electricity while on standby as well as make you more aware of how much energy you’re truly using. According to the Energy Saving Trust*, the average UK household spends £65 a year, just from appliances left on standby. Smart plugs are easy to set up, can be controlled and show you what’s going on at home from anywhere in the world, as long as you have Wi-Fi
