They can benefit you if you change your habits.
Best for singles or just a couple, don't think they would work for families.
After I had the smart meter fitted it really didn't effect the power bill much,
when I purchased energy saving white goods and experimented with the
washing machine using off the peak tariff the power bill went down to $180
per quarter, with solar fitted (1kw) have not had a power bill last 12 months,
currently in credit of $220.
My washing machine plug is plugged into a timer to come on after 10pm for
off peak rate because I cant be bothered going down stairs to turn it on at
that time and I'm not up early enough to turn it on before the off peak time
finishes in the morning currently 7am
People just go out and purchase the biggest brightest product they require
and don't look at the energy rating label, this is the first thing everyone
should be doing before deciding on a particular brand/product.
