FAQ's - Smart

A SMART home can make your life easier. You can use it to turn lights on and off, start appliances, or adjust the temperature in any room from your phone. This helps you use less energy, save money, and help the environment.

If you live in York, you may be eligible for a government grant to help pay for a SMART home. Our advisers can help you find the best SMART controls for your home. They can also connect you with accredited suppliers to get them installed.

How can I make a SMART home device more cost-efficient?

To make your SMART home device save more money, you can:
- Set schedules. Use timers so devices only work when needed, like turning off lights when you're not home.
- Adjust settings. Use energy-saving modes, like dimming lights or lowering the heat.
- Check your usage. Look at the app to see how much energy you're using and find ways to use less.
- Use off-peak times. Run things like washing machines when electricity is cheaper.
