Verv Home Energy Assistant

What is Verv?

Verv is a clever home energy assistant that gives you intelligent information about key appliances and electricity usage in your home, helping you to tackle your bills, reduce your carbon footprint and keep your home safe.Using cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology, Verv starts to identify appliances in your home by their unique energy signatures and tells you how much each one is costing you to use, in real-time. And the longer you have Verv, the more advanced it becomes, using machine learning to learn about new appliances and their behaviours, unlocking more and more features such as alerts if you’ve left an appliance turned on for too long.

Why Verv?

The most frustrating thing about electricity bills is not being able to see a breakdown of what is actually costing you money, and by the time you receive your bill, it’s too late to do anything about it. Verv is revolutionising this process by giving you all the information you need up-front about your key appliances and overall usage, so you can make informed decisions about how you use them, and finally take full control of your bills, not to mention your carbon footprint! The Verv smart hub is easy to install and doesn’t require an electrician. Simply attach it to your electricity or smart meter, download the app and you can be up and running in 10 minutes.

Device Recognition

Quickly finds key appliances & delivers running cost in real-time

Verv starts by identifying key appliances in your home so that it can tell you how much each one is costing you, in addition to their kWh consumption. Thanks to its clever technology, you can see this information live as you turn on an appliance, or look at an overview of your usage over a certain time period. As Verv gets to know your home, it will start to identify more of your appliances and continually provide you with a real-time feed so you can see what electricity you are using at any given moment.

Advanced Insights

Weekly & monthly email reports

Verv gives you valuable insight into your appliance usage and spend. By understanding exactly how much money your electrical appliances cost to use, minimising wastage and using your appliances at optimal times, you could save up to 20% on your energy bill.

Fault Prediction

Starts to detect appliance deterioration

Faulty white goods can cost you money in wasted electricity use. As Verv gets to know your home and your appliances, it will start to detect irregularities in your appliances' energy signatures that could be a sign of an appliance deteriorating. As it gets smarter and identifies more appliances, its diagnosis will get more accurate and Verv will eventually be able to tell you in-depth about the root of the problem.

Home Protection

Be notified if an appliance has been left on

The aim of Verv is to put your mind at rest, with safety notifications if you’ve left an appliance turned on. We've started with the key culprits for being left on; GHD hair straighteners, with Verv continuing to expand its capabilities the more it learns about your home.

Reduce your carbon footprint
Minimise your environmental impact - Verv also measures your energy usage in Co2, putting it into perspective by comparing it to the equivalent mileage in a car for example. This enables you to see and understand your greenhouse gas emissions for the first time and work on bringing them down!
