Hi all,
I've been using a couple of energy saving apps, Hugo and Loop, both free on the app store. They both take the smart meter data and present it in a far better way than my suppliers app (bulb) do, but I still need to monitor and adjust my usage. It's doable, I reckon I've saved £20 a month by just using the apps to bring the energy use to the forefront of my mind e.g. I noticed a peak of gas use in the morning, (therefore shower use and cut back a bit). I know people may say, that's common sense but just seeing it made me more conscious and thoughtful. The loop app compares your 'phantom' load use and gives you a rating. I think if you're struggling with energy bills you probably have cut back, but I suspect if you're fortunate enough to not worry too much about energy bills you could make a decent saving by using them. I'm interested if anyone else has used them and if they have any good/bad experiences?
