Is there a cheaper time to use electricity?

And if so how does one know? Had a Smart Meter installed within the past year but it doesn't seem to 'tell me much'. Still with Electric Ireland/ESB. Advice appreciated S

Look like you need to install a night saver meter. I don't know if the Smart meter can be used for the same purpose.
