Trojan Utilities Welcomes 100,000th Smart Meter Customer

BOLTON, U.K. - June 10, 2014 - PRLog -- Utilita customer Mr Gavin, from Manchester, opened his door to a bottle of champagne and a huge thank you for being the customer that has helped Utilita Energy reach a smart meter installation landmark.

As the Northern installation partner for Utilita Energy, Bolton based Trojan Utilities installed the free electricity smart meter in 20 minutes completing the necessary safety checks.  Trojan engineer Tommy Appleby  says: “There’s a 30 stage process we go through, it’s never been so tight, it means we can complete the installation quickly and walk away confident the electric and/or gas is safe to leave”.

Once fitted, customer Mr Gavin claimed he wasn’t ‘computerised’, “I’m not up on all that. I’m still in the Stone Age me". But his tune quickly changed when Tommy talked through how to use the secure handset. “Well that’s easy; I can tell all of that from the screen.”

Thanks to Tommy’s expert tuition Mr Gavin will now be able to monitor his energy usage and maximise his savings all through his new touch screen energy monitor.

Stephanie Morris, Marketing Manager at Utilita Energy says:“Trojan’s service was impressive, we couldn’t help notice the efficiency in which Tommy worked, he completed the installation quickly but made sure he took his time talking through how to use the Secure Handset with Mr Gavin, explaining each touch screen page, the ‘Emergency' and 'Friendly Credit’ features and what to do in the case of problems”.
