What are the benefits of using Loop?

Integrating your smart meter with the free Loop app takes your energy data to the next level. A smart meter in-home display and your energy supplier’s app are just energy monitoring tools. Loop brings your energy data to life. Loop users cut their consumption by an impressive 15% - that’s a saving of around £250, equating to a carbon saving of 310kg CO2e per year for an average dual-fuel household.

Track your energy usage over a range of timeframes, access your smart meter data and energy costs - even if you don’t have a working in-home display, access personalised insights like whether you’re a high energy user, discover our handy Appliance Calculators and best-practice advice. You can also link Loop to Alex-enabled devices, making it even easier to avoid the dreaded bill shock.

It doesn’t stop at improving your household’s energy efficiency. Loop is a roadmap to a zero bills home. With unique features like our Solar Simulator and Carbon Caclualator, you can access personalised calculations for investing in technology that will completely cut your energy costs.

Reducing your Phantom Load - the wasted energy that makes up around 30% of the average energy bill, could save you £290. You can also earn money through Loop’s Turn Down and Save scheme, simply by using less energy at peak times. 

With Loop's Carbon Calculator, you can take these savings even further. Discover the green technologies, from solar panels to heat pumps, that can propel your energy expenses to zero and pave the way for a bill-free future.

How do I know if I have a smart meter?

Around half of UK household now have a smart meter fitted. If you’ve had a new meter fitted since January 2009 it’s likely you have one. 

If you’re no longer having your meter read, you’re not being asked to provide meter readings and you’re not receiving estimated bills, these are other strong indicators that you have a smart meter. 

A way to be definitive is to look at your electricity meter. If the serial number of the meter starts with “19P” then it’s a first generation smart meter. If it starts with “19M” it’s a second generation smart meter.

Loop is compatible with most second generation meters and most first generation meters. We expect to be compatible with all first generation meters soon.
