If you are looking to reduce your energy bills, then sourcing a cheap commercial gas quote is only the start of the process. The best time to begin looking is when your current provider tells you what your next year’s deal will be as this will open a window of opportunity. Should you not decide to switch and remain with the provider, you may find they will, or already have, moved you onto a deemed contract which tends to have higher rates. Instead, you could spend just a few minutes sourcing a cheaper commercial gas quote to meet your business needs. Along with saving money, the prospect of switching business gas supplies should lead to a better level of customer service, particularly if you have several sites and need just one bill to deal with. It’s also possible to switch to a company that has a green energy ethos that they better reflect your firm’s values. Compare business gas prices between providers You will need to compare business gas prices between providers and ensure that their bespoke deal will reduce costs. We highlight this issue because some suppliers may offer a much lower unit rate per kilowatt hour than your current provider, but the standing charge could be substantially more so you do not make any savings. Indeed, you could even spend more as a result when switching. Also, when looking from quotes from providers, it may be tempting to use an online comparison site since this is a quick and easy way of achieving this. However, while the site may deliver a market rate for your business needs and location, the site may not be searching all of the potential gas suppliers and there could be better, cheaper deals available. Finding the cheapest gas tariff It’s this question of spending fine time finding the cheapest gas tariff suitable for your business that may put off many business owners. There is a quick and easy way of searching the entire marketplace to find the bespoke deal that will deliver a cheaper gas bill and that is to speak with the experts at D-Energi. Along with the opportunity of reducing your energy overheads, the team may also be able to organise a consultancy to enable you to reduce your gas usage and enjoyed real long-term savings as a result and also boost your environmental credentials. If you would like more information about sourcing a cheap commercial gas quote that will meet your needs, then it’s time to contact the friendly team at D-Energi.

It’s one thing accessing cheaper business energy deals, but you could save even more with an energy consultancy and here we explain how. There’s no doubt that by switching energy suppliers on a regular basis will mean that you will probably never be charged more than is necessary for your energy needs. However, some suppliers will offer the opportunity of an energy consultancy to help you and your business not only save even more on the deal being offered, but also help our environment by using less energy. This process will see an energy consultant analysing how and where you are using your energy and where savings can be made. Energy services being offered Of the energy services being offered, a consultancy may lead to the introduction of newer, energy-saving equipment and tips on how to reduce energy usage, such as turning off lights and switching to automatic lights that work when someone enters a room. However, there is more to the consultancy process since they will probably also look at your recent energy bills to ensure that you have not been placed on the wrong tariff and paid more as a result. This could lead to a refund from your previous energy supplier. There’s a lot to recommend reducing energy usage, particularly since energy prices appear to be continually increasing, so it’s an effective way to mitigate against these rises. The energy consultancy is not simply a question of having more insulation fitted but also looking at other sources such as accessing a green energy supplier – that’s a firm using wind and solar power for their energy generation. Energy service company The energy service company will have this knowledge of sourcing green energy suppliers and to reduce energy bills – and this service is often offered for free. They may also have knowledge of the various grants and financial help available from the government and other sources to help you implement energy-saving measures and to reduce your energy use. Energy consultants are particularly effective in the commercial energy supply market and have the knowledge to understand the various tariffs available to ensure that the bespoke deal being offered by a provider is one suitable for meeting your energy needs at the best price. If you would like to save money with an energy consultancy for your business, then it is time to contact the experts at D-Energi who will explain more.

Whether you run a small or large business, it’s important that you source cheap business gas supplier deals to reduce overheads. To find the cheapest and best deal for your location, there are a number of issues you will need to consider when shopping around. The first point is the size of your business and how much gas you are using and whether you have more than one location. You will also need to appreciate that your location will have an impact upon the gas deals being offered and some suppliers may not be able to supply to you. Also, if you are considering signing up for a gas contract of more than one year, then you will need to appreciate whether your business is likely to grow substantially or whether you will be moving premises. Compare cheap business gas and electric tariffs The best way of reducing energy costs is to compare cheap business gas and electric tariffs between suppliers and do this on a regular basis, usually when your current contract is up for renewal. There are several ways of comparing deals and offers and you could contact suppliers directly and get a quote or use one of the online business energy comparison sites for this purpose. While these sites are quick and offer a market rate for your business needs, they may not be searching the entire marketplace and you will still need to speak with the recommended supplier. To avoid this, it may be best contacting experts who do have access to the whole business energy supply marketplace to find a deal that will best meet your current and future needs – which means speaking to the team at D-Energi. Compare business energy per kWh deals between providers There is a simple explanation as to why you must compare business energy per kWh deals between providers and that’s to ensure you get the best deal possible. You will need to appreciate the unit rates being offered for each kilowatt-hour of gas or electricity you use. Then you’ll need to work out whether the standing charge, this is a fee charged daily by the supplier for delivering energy, is too expensive. That’s because you may come across a great deal from a supplier with a cheap unit rate, but not appreciate that their standing charge is substantially more, so you may not be making any real savings. That’s a shame because the team of experts at D-Energi can help find cheap business gas supplier deals for you and your business but also help access cheaper electric and water deals as well, so contact them today to find out how.

One of the most important aspects of running a business or organisation is to ensure that overheads do not get out of hand and finding cheap commercial energy prices will help cut costs. While this may appear to be a time-consuming exercise for a business to undertake, it is possible to save up to 20% on your current energy bills by simply switching suppliers. This is particularly the case if you have never switched or haven’t switched in recent years because your current supplier will probably have moved you onto a deemed contract which tends to have much higher rates. If this situation covers you and your business, then you are not alone because a government survey has highlighted that around 40% of firms in the UK have never switched energy suppliers and are probably paying more than they should be doing for their energy costs. Source a commercial energy quote from providers There’s no doubt that it’s much easier to source a commercial energy quote from providers today and you can contact suppliers directly or use an online comparison site. Both will be wanting similar information from you, including where your business is located, how many people you employ and the type of industry you are in, so they can offer a bespoke deal. It will also be a good idea to have recent bills to hand so a potential supplier can use your meter number to find your exact location. Also, if you have half hourly meters installed, then a potential supplier can use the data generated by this meter to offer a great deal. Source a new commercial energy quote every year Some business owners may not source a new commercial energy quote every year because they may find it confusing or too time-consuming doing so. However, with help from those who understand how the business energy supply market in the UK works, this situation is made much easier. The team at D-Energi can discuss what your options are, explain the details of a potential contract and search the entire marketplace to find a new supplier which is something an online comparison site is probably not doing. In addition, they can talk about other discounts being offered by providers and the potential of an energy consultancy to reduce your energy bills even further. For more help and information about finding commercial energy prices that will cut your costs, then get in touch with the experts at D-Energi.

If you are a business owner, then switching energy suppliers offers an opportunity to reduce costs and one way is to compare business energy deals effectively. This will mean searching the marketplace for the deal that best meets your needs and then switching to the new provider. But why compare business electricity prices when you may not have the time for doing so? The main reason is to ensure that you and your business is not paying more than you should be doing for your energy needs, and this exercise should be done every year to avoid being rolled over onto a deemed contract by your current provider which usually have higher rates. Compare business electricity prices When a business owner needs to compare business electricity prices, you could use an online site which saves time because they’ll be using your details to contact a range of suppliers in one go. This means you will not be spending a long time on the phone speaking with individual suppliers plus it’s an easy way to find out what a potential new provider may offer. However, any firm using a comparison site needs to appreciate that they may not be searching all of the potential energy suppliers and you will still need to contact directly the firm that is recommended. That’s because the supplier is obliged to provide a bespoke quote that will meet your needs. Compare business gas quotes Busy business owners could also use these comparison sites to compare business gas quotes between providers. As with electricity, the gas provider will need to know where your business is located, how many people you employ and the industry you operate in. In addition, they will need to know your meter number so they will have the exact location of your premises; it may also help to have a recent bill to hand so you can give details of your gas and electricity usage. There’s no doubt that the comparison site offers convenience and will potentially save time in sourcing a new provider, but there’s likely to be cheaper deals available that will better meet your firm’s needs. In order to find these and compare business energy deals effectively by experts who understand how the markets operate means speaking with the friendly team at D-Energi.

One effective way of lowering overheads is to reduce your firm’s energy bills but how do you source the best cheap business electricity deals? The best advice for doing this is to know when your contract endpoint is and then terminate the contract when it’s allowed. The reasons for doing so are twofold: firstly, you will avoid being rolled over onto a ‘deemed’ contract, which tends to be much higher than contracts for new customers, and secondly, you will be forced to find a new supplier. It’s always important when checking quotes from suppliers that you don’t just focus on the unit rate per kWh since a potential supplier may offer a low unit cost, but have a high standing charge – so there will be no effective saving. Cheap business gas provider This idea of terminating automatically a deal with a current supplier also extends to those firms and organisations wanting a cheap business gas provider. Again, a business gas quote will have two elements, and you’ll need to focus on the unit charge plus the standing charge to find out what your overall annual cost is likely to be. It is also a good idea to search the business energy market every year to ensure you are on the best deal possible and are not paying more than you should be doing. It may also be a good idea to get a quote from one or more of the ‘Big Six’ energy suppliers and then find out what another potential supplier can offer. For those firms looking to switch, it’s also a good idea to have your current supplier offer a quote and ask if there are any additional discounts from each supplier you approach. Finding a new cheap business energy provider So far, we haven’t mentioned using one of the online comparison sites for finding a new cheap business energy provider. You could use one of these sites to get an idea of the market rate for your size and type of business, but you need to be aware that the site may not be searching the entire marketplace. The search for cheap business energy deals should also include the efforts from an energy broker who has a wide and deep knowledge of the business energy supply market. As a result, they may find better and cheaper deals for meeting your business needs, so you should use an organisation that has access to the entire marketplace and can then negotiate on your behalf and deal with the switch over process. This will mean speaking with the experts at D-Energi who will be able to answer any questions you have about sourcing cheap business electricity deals.
