    You might as well get one. So far it has been estimated to cost each household in the UK £400 each but on the good side you save approximately £10 per year.

    But then again I personally told them no and was taken off the List as I did not want to waste a day of my time to get one installed.

  • I was of a similar opinion, but got one anyway as the cheapest tariff required one.

    And I'm really glad I did. This is the best thing...

    Yes, you can keep track of it yourself, but so much easier to be able to drill down like that for any day you want.

    That was Christmas Day, and as you can see I used a massive 65p between 12pm and 1pm.

    For a while couldn't think what it could be, then remembered my son wanted a particular jumper that was in the washing machine from the night before so we put the tumble dryer on for an hour.

    After seeing that, now replaced our tumble dryer with one that costs far far less an hour to run. Will save ££££s.
