Working with you and your knowledge of your home's electrical devices, the Sense Home app can help you use energy more efficiently, lower your electricity bills, and reduce your carbon footprint.
See how Sense can help you save.
You can save money
People who use Sense save 8%, on average, on their electric bill. Sense shows how much energy your home consumes in real time and, over time, Sense can show what individual devices consume, comparing consumption month over month to help you track seasonal changes. Sense helps you understand how your household’s activity impacts your electric bill, and offers tips on how you might save.
