Check your retailer’s app or online portal regularly to see when you use the most electricity, then consider shifting flexible use, such as washing or charging, to cheaper periods if your tariff allows. Compare the usage and dates on your bill with your smart meter data, and contact your retailer if readings or estimated charges look wrong. Ask your retailer which tariff suits your household, as a smart meter does not automatically mean lower bills. Never interfere with the meter, and contact your retailer or licensed electrician for faults or installation questions.
