Flex Utility Premium
How do I view my real-time electricity usage on Flex Utility Premium?
The home screen has three big buttons: Usage, Goals, and Bills. Tap the Usage button to see your electricity usage displayed in big, clear numbers, along with a wavy line graph that you can zoom in on for specific days.
Can I set a savings goal and get reminders in Flex Utility Premium?
Yes, you can set a savings goal like 10% directly in the app. It will then give you little reminders when you're going over your target, helping you stay on track to lower your bill.
Why does my electricity usage spike on certain days in Flex Utility Premium?
The app shows a daily usage graph that lets you zoom in on spikes. These spikes often correspond to high-energy activities, like cooking a big meal or having guests over, so you can identify which habits drive up your bill.
I don't have smart home devices—will Flex Utility Premium still work for me?
Absolutely. The app works fine without any smart devices. You can ignore the smart home integration feature and still track usage, set goals, view bills, and get personalized tips like unplugging devices when not in use.
How does Flex Utility Premium compare to monthly subscription energy apps?
Flex Utility Premium is a one-time purchase for around $4–$5, unlike many competitors that charge a monthly subscription fee. For a retired user on a fixed income, this is a better value since you pay once and can save more than the app costs on your first electric bill.
