AlertMe, the smart home tech company has sealed a deal with British Gas to provide a personalized energy efficiency advice service to UK customers with smart meters.

Smart meters will have a display that shows customers how much energy they are using. The AlertMe service breaks down the information for comparison with similar households, actionable recommendations (like getting insulation or double glazing to help keep in heat) and generally suggest ways in which customers can save money and not waste so much energy.

The free cloud-based service is being trialed with up to 10,000 homes during the summer and rolled out widely from the autumn. Smart meters from British Gas will be rolled out to all homes in the UK over the next seven years. Meanwhile, the Alertme system can be added to older gas meters.
