Stay merry and bright this Christmas
DON’T FEAR HOW MUCH IT’LL COST TO LIGHT UP YOUR FESTIVE SEASON, GET A SMART METER AND STAY IN CONTROL OF EVERY PENNY YOU USE…
If you’ve read the Christmas soap previews, you’ll know there’s no reason to leave the house this December – you won’t want to miss a minute of the on-screen fireworks! Instead, you’ll be keen to sit back in your cosy home, with the Christmas tree lights twinkling as Linda turns up the heat on Stuart in Eastenders, and Jenny plots red-hot revenge on Liz in Corrie. But when your family is indoors all the time, it’s turning dark earlier and you have more light decorations than Blackpool illuminations, worries about your next energy bill can begin to creep in.
However, it’s time to breathe a big sigh of relief and dial the party atmosphere up to ‘the Woolpack on Christmas Eve’, because with a smart meter you’ll have total control of how much energy you’re using and how much you’re spending, making it much simpler to find ways to cut back on costs and reduce waste. By getting rid of uncertainty, you can banish the growing dread of what January might bring, as you’ve accounted for every penny of your energy spend. Don’t worry, though – that doesn’t require you to become as controlling as the cobbles’ Mary Cole. The end of estimated bills just means that you have the chance to keep an eye on what you’re using as you’re using it – leaving the guessing games for Boxing Day afternoon charades!
We all have Christmas traditions, such as watching the residents of Walford make each other miserable. So if yours involve lots of fairy lights, cooking up a storm and keeping the karaoke machine on song, don’t fret. Because you’ll know exactly what your spend is, it’ll make budgeting much easier – that’s one less thing to worry about! Speak to your energy provider about getting a smart meter at no extra cost, then the only nasty surprises will be on the telly…
“I think our Christmas lights are out of control” “Don’t fret – that’s one thing I have totally under control”
Leave the guessing games for Boxing Day!
