Throughout the UK there are many energy suppliers, lots are very well known and established and many gas and electricity consumers, both residentially and in business often do not realise that there are so many alternatives to the big names who may offer a better service and cheaper prices. For many years there were only a handful of well known energy suppliers but gradually in recent times, energy suppliers such as us here at First Utility are providing services that often exceed those offered by others.

At First Utility we were the first of the energy suppliers to offer a free smart meter which pioneers not only awareness of where your homes energy is being used but also helps to reduce your bills by analysing the data it provides.  Most energy suppliers call round to take meter readings when you are at work or at times that may not be convenient to you and if you happen to not be at home or the taking of an energy suppliers meter reading is not possible then your next bill is likely to be an estimated one which may not accurately reflect the amount of gas and electricity you have used. As the first of the energy suppliers to issue customers with free smart meters, First Utility customers never have to worry about an estimated bill dropping through their door or getting their meter read. A smart meter automatically transmits your meter readings to us at scheduled intervals meaning that your bills only represent the gas and electricity you have used.

Your meter readings are stored in your own online account so can be viewed at any time and the data that they contain  can be used by you to pinpoint areas where you are expending energy and take action on these to reduce your energy suppliers bills. Not only will conserving energy lower your bills, it will also help the environment so it is a great reason to sign up to a First Utility smart meter tariff if you are looking to switch energy suppliers now or in the near future.
