Rugby and Bulkington MP Mark Pawsey is encouraging local residents to take advantage of smart meters to help save energy at home.
This week, Mark joined many of his Parliamentary colleagues at a British Gas event in Westminster to learn more about how constituents can save money on their bills thanks to innovative new technology.
British Gas’ Smart Energy Experts, who install smart meters in homes, were on hand to showcase the technology and to talk about the benefits to customers, as well as explain the company’s new FreeTime plan, which offers customers free electricity on Saturdays or Sundays between 9am-5pm.
Also on display were the company’s range of Hive Active Heating™2 products which give people new ways to control their home through the Hive Active Heating™ app.
Speaking after meeting with British Gas, Mark said:
“Meeting British Gas’ Smart Energy Experts was a great way to learn how Rugby residents could benefit from smart meters and the new energy saving plan. I would encourage everyone to find out more about this technology.”
Mark continued:
“I was particularly interested to learn that in Rugby, over 2,700 smart meters have been installed by British Gas. These are a great way for local residents to ensure that they are saving energy and money on bills, which I know is a concern for many families.”
British Gas Smart Energy Expert, Nicola Bush, added:
“I’m proud to be part of the smart meter roll-out. Smart meters mean an end to estimated bills and the need to give meter readings. Customers can see how much energy they’re using in pounds and pence. It’s a really simple way for our customers to save energy.”
