As seen on The BBC – Can energy be engaging?

admin — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 15:30:21 +0000

The BBC posed that very question to two families in the UK. For three weeks they used geo’s energy monitors and online services to look at what they used, when they used it – and how much it really cost. The results surprised them. “By looking at it, you’re conscious of (your energy use) all the time”, said Ali Busby. Her reaction echoes that of the extensive research we’ve carried out on customer engagement since 2006. When you inform, inspire and educate people – they want to know more. So at geo, we engage customers by helping people take control of their energy habits for the good of their world. And wallet.

Don’t just take our word for it, see us in action on BBC Breakfast.
