See it. Save it. Sorted – How to save energy this winter

There’s been no avoiding the frigid winter weather recently – thanks Storm Goretti! We know that for many UK households that means those heating bills are starting to creep up. It can feel like a tough balancing act, staying cosy while still keeping control of costs. 

But what if we told you it doesn’t have to be a guessing game? At ivie, we’re all about giving you the simple, smart tools you need to take charge. That’s why we’re running a January Sale, to help you see, understand and lower your energy bills before the end of winter.

Our core approach to saving energy is a powerful, two-part system designed to make a real difference: the ivie Bud in-home display and our free ivie smart meter app.

See It – Why knowing your energy use is important

Think of the ivie Bud as your energy whisperer. Simply plug it in, connect it wirelessly to your home’s smart meter, and it starts telling you exactly what your home is using in real time, right down to the minute and the penny. 

This immediate insight is key! If you turn on the kettle or put the heating up a notch, you’ll see the cost instantly. That visibility is the first step – it empowers you to spot wasteful habits and make smart, conscious changes without sacrificing comfort.

Then there’s the free ivie smart meter app, your pocket energy analyst. Pair it with the ivie Bud for live energy data, giving you a much clearer picture of your energy story.

It dives into your usage data, helps predict your next bill, and gives you tailored tips based on your home and your routine. It takes you from the murkiness of “why is my bill so high?” and straight to understanding how to where to reduce energy use at home.

Once you’ve got a handle on your bills, you can even plan for the future with our useful solar panel sizing tool. See how thermally efficient your home is, if you should look into new insulation, or even whether you’d be suitable for a heat pump for future winters.

We genuinely believe everyone should feel confident about their energy use. That’s why we’re proud to be throwing our support behind Energy Savers Week 2026, an important initiative run by the Energy Saving Trust. It’s a fantastic reminder that small changes really do add up to big savings.

To help more households kickstart their saving journey for 2026, we’re running a special promotion on the ivie Bud in-home display. It’s our way of making sure these powerful insights are accessible to all.
