Smart meters great way to save money

I was over at which.co.uk this evening reading about smart meters, the reason simply is I am moving home very shortly and with a home move you can start a fresh so my new regime is money saving and to start this new regime I will be purchasing a smart meter to help reduce my electricity cost.

Smart meters monitor how much power you are consuming and how much this is costing per hour, so with a smart meter you can go around the home turning things from standby mode to off now I haven’t actually got one as yet but rest assured i will be taking “which’s” guide and buying the best.

You can read what they have to say below:

Best Buys

Best Buy wireless energy monitors

We've tested seven wireless energy monitors for accuracy and ease of use. Here are the three Best Buys - see 'Energy monitors compared' for the full results.

 

80%, Owl CM119 £34

This was the most accurate wireless energy monitor that we tested. It’s simple to use and has a large, clear and easy-to-read LCD screen. The quick start and troubleshooting guide is useful and the monitor can be used with up to four tariffs.

However, the instructions are quite small and there is little information about how to find advanced functions. It can be tricky to fit batteries too, and to clamp the sensor on to newer power cables.

 

 

78%, Eco-eye Elite £40

The LCD display is large and easy to read and the monitor is controlled by a simple three-button front panel. There’s a memory function that allows you to check energy use over time. The quick set up and troubleshooting guides are useful.

The unit supports only a single tariff supply and could be tricky to fit on to newer power cables.

 

 

71%, Owl CM130 Micro £25

This simple, accurate and easy-to read monitor is a bargain at this price. It may be too basic for some – for example there’s no advanced memory function to store and compare readings over different times (though there is a re-settable cumulative display to check cost over a set period). The controls are on the back, making it fiddly, and it may be difficult to clamp the sensor to newer power cables.
