The problem
Households routinely waste energy because consumption is invisible, bills are delayed and appliance-level insights are rare—especially for renters or families without smart home kits. Rising costs and emissions make this both a financial and environmental issue, yet people lack simple, credible guidance tied to their actual patterns.
Generic tips and static dashboards seldom change behaviour; without personalised targets, timely prompts and clear savings, motivation drops. Split incentives between bill-payers, housemates and landlords further dilute accountability and momentum for upgrades.
The solution
Flip The Switch translates meter and manual inputs into easy-to-read timelines, compares usage to peers, and recommends high-impact actions—from thermostat tweaks to off-peak routines—showing estimated cost and carbon savings. Challenges, shared goals and reminders coordinate households, while optional device integrations and rebate guidance support deeper reductions over time.
