E.ON has teamed up with its customers to change the way we think about energy after four out of five people (80%) said knowing more about their energy use would help get their home consumption into shape and lower bills.

Having listened to the people who sit on its 15,000-strong Customer Panel, the company has today launched its free 'Energy Fit Starter Pack' which is designed to empower customers to truly understand their home electricity usage and help them save energy and money.

Jim Macdonald, Commercial Director of E.ON's Retail business, said: "We're fully committed to helping our customers cut their energy use. We've listened and have developed this pack to help our customers use less and pay less, and in an industry first, we're offering a free energy monitor with exclusive software across all our energy tariffs.


"Why would we want to do that? Because helping people use less energy means lower bills, and lower bills mean happier customers who want to stay with us for longer."

The Energy Fit Starter Pack includes the latest energy monitor model (worth around £45) which allows people to view their electricity use instantly, as well as to track how much they're spending daily and monthly.

In addition, the pack comes with exclusive software for use with home PCs or laptops that allows users to track their energy fitness progress over hours, days and weeks. Users can also submit their meter readings online to ensure they receive accurate bills.
