payback
So a smart meter costs about £300 all in.
Insulating a loft will cost about the same and will save approx £180 a year.
If you already have loft insulation they could spend about £150 kitting out your whole house with LED bulbs and that will save you about £200 a year.
If you have loft insulation AND you already got LED bulbs they could offer you:
A subsidy to get cavity wall insulation saving about £140 a year
A subsidy to upgrade to a condensing boiler saving £300 a year
A subsidy to put in solar panels if applicable
(I fitted a diverter to use excess leccy to heat the hot water (Economy 7) and saw our leccy use drop by 1/3)
Oh, and on behalf of meter readers everywhere, it also means they get to keep their jobs!
