Smart metering slide share
The document discusses the history and challenges of community heating systems and how advanced smart metering can help address these challenges. It notes that smart metering can provide accurate bills, convenient payment options, in-home usage monitoring, and data to optimize heating system performance. While technology is important, outstanding customer service also requires anticipating resident needs, good customer support, and obtaining resident feedback. The key takeaways are that smart meter rollout will provide cost transparency, residents should have payment options as part of the smart system, and communication technology should be used along with in-home tech to ensure good customer service.

Heatnetworksananswertolowcarbonheat Over the lastfive years reports from Government have backed support for using heat networks as a suitable method of producing low carbon heat in high dense areas. And, with the Competitions & Marketing Authority (CMA) launching their own research into the industry, it’s likely to remain a focal point in low carbon policies in years to come.

Key takeaways • Smartmetering roll out means that all homes across the UK will have a smart metering installed • Smart meters provide cost transparency to the resident, enabling them to understand their heating needs • It’s not just about money, residents should have various payment methods on offer in order to pay for their heating. This should be part of the smart system as a standard • But it doesn’t stop at technology in the home. Communication technology should be considered to ensure outstanding customer services is achieved
