UK-Wide Smart Meter Installations

More than half of UK homes now have smart meters installed. The majority of installations are simple and straightforward and don’t involve major work or disruption to your business or home. To start the process of having better control over your energy usage and costs, get in touch with our smart meter experts by calling 0330 123 2255.

How does a smart meter work?

A smart meter measures exactly how much energy you use and sends the data directly to your energy supplier. This removes the need to submit readings and ensures your bills are always based on accurate usage. You’ll also get a display that helps you keep an eye on your daily energy costs.

Want to upgrade your old meter to a smart meter?

Your energy supplier should contact you about installing a smart meter. If you haven’t heard from them, you can always request one directly; the installation is straightforward, quick and completely free.

Where Crown Energy can help is when you need more than a simple swap. We support homeowners, developers and businesses with:

  • Acting as a single point of contact to manage the process end-to-end and minimise disruption
  • Coordinating multiple smart meter installations across larger sites or developments
  • Managing meter relocations or alterations as part of wider utility works
  • Handling associated requirements such as traffic management, excavations, or new supply connections
