Steph McGovern meets Britains flexible families to discover how smart meter owners are using energy reward schemes to save money on their bills by switching up when they use energy around the home. Release date - January 8, 2025. Four in 10 Brits switched up their routines over the last year with midweek roasts and cups of tea before bed helping households to break the mould. A poll of 2,000 adults found those making changes have done so in a bid to save money (64 per cent), energy (56 per cent) and be more efficient (45 per cent). One in three (32 per cent) have ditched their loyalty to a certain supermarket, and 30 per cent started cooking in batches for the week ahead. A fifth (19 per cent) decided to watch less TV in the evenings, 22 per cent are going to bed earlier, with 11 per cent setting their morning alarms to an hour earlier to make the most of the day. Whereas 10 per cent have revamped their routine by exploring different routes to work or changing the time they go to the gym. Many Brits are also making significant changes to how they use energy in the home, as 24 per cent now limit the number of appliances in use at one time. While 23 per cent consider what time they should do high energy-consuming tasks. The study was commissioned by Smart Energy GB to highlight how people who embrace more flexible home habits could save money on their bills through energy reward schemes, which can be accessed with a smart meter and reward customers for using energy at different times of the day.
