🏠 Let’s see if we can help you optimise your usage
Everything below is built from one household’s own meter — what they spend, where it goes, and what I would tell them to change — the kind of reading that catches a heating system still running in April. Yours looks like this once your meter is connected.
This is the example home, not yours. Every chart below is built from one real household’s actual half-hourly readings — a higher-use home, chosen because the patterns are easy to see. It is not yours and it is not an average; it is what this page looks like once it has a meter to read.
Once your meter is connected every figure on this page becomes yours: your half-hours, your rates, your home. Electricity and gas, whoever supplies you, read-only — we can never switch anything or change your account. From £1.50 a month while the meter stays connected (£1.50 for one meter, £2.50 for gas and electricity), and an account itself costs nothing.

What’s costing this home
£~£209 a year in electricity standing charges
57.2p a day before this home uses a single unit. Gas has its own.
→ Standing charges vary between tariffs — it’s built into the deals comparison.
▲~£591/yr above a typical home on electricity
This home’s electricity use is about 84% above the Ofgem typical home.
→ The evening peak and heating are the usual places to claw this back.
£About 1.3 kWh in this home’s priciest evening hoursestimated
Around 19:00 something power-hungry runs — typically an oven, tumble dryer, dishwasher or immersion heater. I’m inferring from this home’s usage shape (not certain). That’s use sitting in the dearest part of the day on a flat tariff.
→ Moving it earlier/later, or onto a time-of-use tariff (priced below), could cut it.

▲~£1,505/yr of (4,963 kWh) — about 84% above a typical homeFrom 365 days of this home’s readings (an example, not yours), vs the Ofgem typical-home figure of 2,700 kWh/yr.
Could a time-of-use tariff help?
An overnight charging pattern suggests an EV — a day-night / EV tariff prices those overnight units far lower. See what it would cost below.
⚡ Electricity
What this home’s electricity is really costing
£1,505a year on electricity at today’s rates — about 4,963 kWh
Standing charge — 57.2p a day, the fixed daily fee£209 / yr
The power you use — 26.11p a unit£1,296 / yr
About £209 a year (14% of this home’s electricity) is the standing charge — you pay it before using any power. Using less cuts the power you use, not this fixed fee.
⚡about 84% more electricity than a typical homeA typical home uses about 2,700 kWh of electricity a year (Ofgem).

Saving Sessions: get paid to use less at peak
💰You could earn roughly £1.30–£3.89 per sessionYou typically use about 1.9 kWh in the evening peak, of which ~1.3 kWh looks
shiftable. Sessions have historically paid around £1–3 per kWh saved, so that range is
your own usage at those rates. What you actually get varies by event and by supplier.
Sessions run mainly Nov–Mar, announced about a day ahead, and you sign up through your
supplier. Connect your meter and I’ll alert you when one’s scheduled, so you never miss the payout.
18.9 kWh — about 41% more than this home’s usual Friday. (This home’s most recent full day of readings.)
🎯 Money-saving actions
What to do, biggest win first
Cut always-on / standby loadup to ~£71/yr
Always-on is ~37% of use (~£473/yr). Cutting standby and replacing an old fridge/freezer could claw back up to ~£71/yr.

Worth looking at next
Read straight off this home’s own half-hourly shape. No £ against these: what each is worth depends on the tariff or the appliance, and that is a figure I will not guess at.

This is advice for an example home — not yours yet. Connect your smart meter and I’ll turn it into real advice for your specific situation: your actual usage, your actual savings, and the tariff that genuinely fits how you use power.
Connecting is not open yet — we’ll email you when it opens. From £1.50 a month while your meter is connected (£1.50 for one meter, £2.50 for gas and electricity). Disconnect whenever you like and you won’t be charged again.
