Electric Ireland and climote have begun rolling out a plan to get thousands of homes around the country to use connected devices to deliver significant savings on their energy bills.
Funded by Electric Ireland, the Smart Technology Energy Saving Scheme will see 10,000 local authority and housing association homes fitted with a climote which will allow homeowners to control their heating timings and temperature via a smartphone, text message or online to help consumers reduce their energy consumption by up to 20%.
“The roll out of the national energy saving scheme will be carried out by the nationwide team of approved climote installers who will install the 10,000 climote hubs in local authority and housing association homes over the next 12 months,” said Eamon Conway, managing director, climote.
Paul Stapleton, general manager, Electric Ireland, said: “At Electric Ireland we are all about smarter living, simple ideas that we believe will make our customers lives better. We have worked with climote for a number of years and have received really positive feedback from our customers in terms of the level of control it offers them every day.”
A number of Local Authorities and housing associations including Laois, Louth, Kerry and Mayo County Councils, and Cluid Housing, have agreed to participate in the scheme.
