See how much energy 

you’ve used by day, week 

or month

If you’re making changes to 
your habits or your home (for 
example, installing energy-
saving light bulbs), being able 
to see your energy usage over 
different time periods is useful. 
Here’s how you do that:

Press 

Home

 to see how much 

energy you’ve used today.

Press 

Calendar

 to change the 

view to energy usage this 
week. Continue pressing to 
see the energy usage for this 
month and this year. 

Press the 

Back Arrow

  

to scroll back in time for  
a chosen period.

Press the 

Fuel

 button to see 

the energy usage for 
individual fuels. 

See how much energy 

different appliances 

are using

To see how much electricity a 
single appliance uses, unplug 
your In-Home Display and walk 
over to the appliance you’re 
curious about. 

Press 

Now

, and make a note 

of the energy usage in kWh, 
pounds and pence. Don’t forget 
some appliances are on all the 
time, like your fridge/freezer, 
so straight away you’ll see 
the residual cost per hour for 
keeping your home running. 

Next, switch your appliance 
on, and press 

Now

 again. See 

the cost and kWh change. By 
seeing which appliances are 
the most expensive to run, it’s 
easier to understand where you 
could make changes and save 
in the future.
