Meter Readings

News reports have already highlighted people in the UK who are having to choose between turning on their heating or having a meal for the day, or others that are simply left too terrified at the thought of how much turning on their heating will cost and are just doing without.
This week new measures have been announced that will help with the cost of living crisis, but you may already be thinking ahead and looking at ways you can cut back on your bills.
There are apps you can turn to on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store which will help you chart your energy use and see how much money you’ve spent ahead of your bills coming in.
The Meter Readings app that is available on Apple’s App Store is one such option, which lets you closely monitor your household energy and water use and save money.
