First Utility - helping you enjoy cheap electricity

With online comparison sites and switching services it has become easier to switch electricity supplier in search of cheap electricity, however, often switching is only a short term solution to getting cheap electricity. You may be switching to the best prices at that moment, but prices change reasonably often so you may find that a month or two down the line the cheap electricity tariff you moved to is no longer the best deal.

Here at First Utility we don’t think chasing cheap electricity prices is the best way to reduce your electricity bill. It’s a never ending task, and could take up a great deal of time in people’s already busy lives.

We strongly believe that to ensure you enjoy cheap electricity for life you need to understand how and where you use your energy.

Through this detailed understanding you can take control of your energy usage, identifying easy ways to alter your behaviour and make significant savings to ensure long term cheap electricity and cheap gas.

To help you take control of your energy usage we are rolling out smart meters free of charge to our customers. Currently available in the East and West Midlands, our smart meters automatically submit electricity meter readings every half an hour and gas readings daily. This information is then made available via a personal online account when you can view easy to understand, yet detailed graphs of your usage.

Our customers with smart meters also have access to Google PowerMeter, an additional energy monitoring tool. We are the only UK energy supplier offering Google PowerMeter to consumers. Amongst other useful tools, Google PowerMeter shows a graph of your usage highlighting your ‘always on’ power, such as equipment that goes on standby. You’d be amazed at how much this is costing you, and turning this equipment off is a really simple way to reduce your energy consumption. After all, the cheap electricity is the electricity you don’t use!

Due to high demand for our smart meters we are rolling them out region by region. If you live in the East or West Midlands you can sign up for our smart tariff today and have your smart meter up and running in just a few months. For those who live elsewhere in the UK you can sign up to our iSave tariff to enjoy cheap electricity and gas, and be one of the first to get a smart meter when they become available in your area.
