i don't do anything with the gas smart meter. It needs to be on when its on. It uses more in winter than summer. That's basically it.
Electricity usage can be managed because of the sheer number of devices plugged in |

I make do with extra clothes and hot water bottles. I'm also using my REAL fire in the front room. I don't have it on every day - only when it gets really really cold. And it'll be on Christmas Day all day as a Christmas treat. |

i was on a fixed term gas contract throughout the energy spike which meant i had no issues paying my gas bill and it was a steal compared to electricity costs. My new fixed contract is half what i was previously paying so there are good deals to be had out there
