First Utility and Wireless Electricity Monitor or Smart Meter as seen on The One Show
Uncategorized Add commentsA Wireless Electricity Monitor from First Utility was featured on The One Show this evening. Most people don’t know how much electricity they are using in their home from one moment to the next. With a Smart Meter, or Wireless Electricity Monitor, you can see exactly how much money your home is costing in electricity at any given moment. The wireless electricity monitor tells you exactly how much you’re spending per hour.
The couple interviewed on The One Show had a smart meter from First Utility fitted in their home and they found it a very useful way of saving money. Using First Utility as your supplier, your electricity usage is fed straight through to them online, meaning that there is no need for them to estimate your electricity usage.
According to The One Show presenter Dominic Littlewood, the big six energy companies and the Government are planning on everyone in Britain having a smart meter – but that would mean 47,000,000 smart meters to be replaced in 25,000,000 homes, which will take an epic 10 years to roll out.

One Show presenter Christine Bleakley said that the wireless electricity monitor was a great idea and that she wanted one. Dom said that of all the energy suppliers at the moment there is only one, First Utility, with available smart meters. Dom said the only downside is that you may become obsessed with how much electricity you are using and constantly check the smart meter to see how much money you may be spending.
There are two similar products on the market with a clear distinction, Dom explained: the smart meter and the smart display. The smart meter is supplied by First Utility as we’ve already mentioned. The smart display can be bought online and are priced between £40 and £50. The smart electricity display will display how much energy you’re using and will not feed the information back to your electricity supplier for online readings and charges.
