Smart homes are more than just a trend—they’re a real game-changer.
Recently, Daikin highlighted our work in a case study, showing how smart home installations are helping homeowners save a serious chunk of money. It’s worth seeing how these systems could work for you:
How Smart Homes Can Help You Save Energy
- Automation That Thinks for You: One of the coolest parts of smart home installations is how the technology learns your habits. Smart thermostats adjust automatically, keeping things just right while using less energy. And lights? They turn off when you’re not around, saving you money without you having to think about it.
- Monitor and Control from Anywhere: Thanks to apps that come with smart home technology, you can keep an eye on how much energy you’re using no matter where you are. If you notice a spike, it’s easy to adjust your settings and avoid unnecessary costs.
- Working with Solar: If you’ve got solar panels or other green tech, smart home installations can make the most of them, using renewable energy more efficiently and saving even more in the long run.
- Smart Energy Timing: Our system even checks energy prices throughout the day, so your heating, washing, and hot water gets done when it’s cheapest. You don’t need to do anything—just enjoy the savings!
How We’re Helping People Save on Energy Bills
- Case Study 1: A family in Buckinghamshire cut their energy bills by 41% after installing our smart home system. You can read more about it here: Buckinghamshire – Fully-fledged Smart Home.
- Case Study 2: A couple also in Buckinghamshire saved around £350 annually just by using our Lighting, Heating, and Energy Savings package. Full details here: Buckinghamshire – Lighting, Heating and Energy Savings.
- Case Study 3: One homeowner in Northamptonshire has been saving between 35% and 44% on their energy bills monthly since installing our Energy Savings package. Learn more here: Northamptonshire – Energy Savings.
Customer Success Story: The Numbers Don’t Lie
Take a look at one of our customers’ electric bills for June and July 2024. They saw a drop from the typical 24p/kWh to just 14p/kWh—that’s a 40% reduction in energy costs. And here’s the kicker: they didn’t even have solar panels or batteries! Imagine how much more they could save with those!
Then, get this: the same customer sent us their next bill, and the savings were even better—a 68% reduction! They saved £135, bringing their cost down from 24p/kWh to just 7.49p/kWh. They told us, “This month our smart home installations saved us £135. It’s paying for itself even faster than we thought!”
How Much Can You Really Save?
Here’s a simple breakdown: One home with a standard fixed tariff paid £6.10 for energy over 24 hours. A smart home installation using the same energy? Only £2.66. That’s £3.43 in savings, or a 56% reduction. Not bad, right?
