Real-time displays use magnetic sensors to detect how much electricity a house is using. These sensors send data wirelessly from the mains electricity meter to a display in a family's living space. It has been found that when families are able to see how much electricity they are using and how much it is costing them, in real-time, they're able to reduce their electricity use by 10% - 20%. Families are usually able to achieve these savings by simply switching off things which do not need to be on or by using more essential items less often. In fact, almost everyone learns something new when they see this information for the first time! Below is information on a selection of the latest models from the UK's suppliers of world-leading displays.
