There are several reasons why firms and organisations should take time to source a new energy supplier, but the main one is to save on their business energy prices. Since energy bills account for a large part of a firm’s overheads, it is possible to save substantial amounts by switching providers. However, it’s important to appreciate that every business will have different energy demands and the commercial offerings from suppliers are designed to meet these specific needs. There are other issues that also have an impact on what you will be charged, including the location of your business, the industry you are working in and how much energy you use. Switching to a new business energy supplier The process will inevitably mean switching to a new business energy supplier but this is a seamless, well-established process with no loss of energy to your premises. It helps too that the information a potential new supplier needs can be found on a recent energy bill. There are other tricks to enjoy cheaper bills and these include signing up for more than one year – some suppliers may offer a deal of up to five years – which will help with cash flow planning and help protect your firm against energy price rises. The marketplace may appear to be confusing with lots of suppliers offering deals but the expert team at D-Energi can help explain how the market works and how your firm can access the best deals. Source a new business energy supplier Indeed, while using an online comparison service to source a new business energy supplier will be tempting as it appears to offer a quick and easy solution, though the site may not be searching all of the potential suppliers to find the right deal for you. This means a better and cheaper offer will not be found and the D-Energi team can find these and also offer a supplier with other benefits such as an energy consultancy to help your firm use less energy and enjoy lower bills. It may be that your organisation is looking to source their energy supply from a supplier who generates energy from renewable sources and these can be found too. Not only will you enjoy lower bills as a result but you will also boost your green credentials – an increasingly important for many firms today. For more help and information about how your firm can save on its business energy prices, then it’s time to contact the team at D-Energi.

All firms and organisation should be looking at their overheads on a regular basis to save on costs and swapping your business electricity supplier is an effective way to do this. But how easy is it to do in practice? Well, a survey from the government has highlighted that around 40% of firms in the UK have never switched their energy provider. These level of inaction means they are probably paying more than is necessary for their energy costs so they would more than likely save a substantial amount by swapping to a new provider. And finding new energy suppliers is straightforward and when you decide to switch there is no loss of supply to your premises. But how much can your business save? Business electricity rates being offered The answer depends on the business electricity rates being offered which will depend on much energy you use, where you are located and the type of business you are in. There’s no doubt this is a tempting way to cut costs and there’s a financial incentive for researching the marketplace to contact energy providers directly. It’s also important to understand that an energy provider must offer a bespoke deal that is designed to meet your needs and you cannot access a dual fuel deal though you can have the same provider deliver electricity and gas to your premises. The process of finding and then contacting suppliers directly can be confusing and time-consuming so it may make sense to use an online comparison site. An easy way to find cheaper business electricity rates These sites offer an easy way to find cheaper business electricity rates but they may not be accessing all of the potential suppliers – so you may miss out on even cheaper and better deals. Also, you may believe that by using a comparison site you can do everything online and not speak with the supplier directly but, as mentioned previously, they will need to tailor their offering to your own specific requirements, so you will still need to contact them. It’s also worthwhile speaking to the D-Energi experts for them to explain other ways of saving more money on your energy overheads such as signing up to a flexible or fixed deal, agreeing to a longer contract of two or three years and even accepting the offer of an energy consultancy to reduce your bills further. If you and your business would like to know more about how to save on costs by swapping your business electricity supplier, then it’s time to speak with the experts at D-Energi.

In the drive to reduce overheads, firms should be looking to find a cheaper commercial electricity quote and this is where D-Energi can help. The best time for sourcing a new quote is when your current electricity provider gets in touch with their next contract details but the process to find a new supplier is different to the one for supplying our homes. The big difference is that the supplier must offer a bespoke deal that meets your needs so there will be no chance of accepting an offer without speaking to the supplier first. And if you run a larger enterprise, then you may be charged a half hourly rate for the electricity you use. Sourcing new commercial electricity rates However, the biggest reason for sourcing new commercial electricity rates is if your firm or organisation has not switched providers in recent years. You won’t be alone in this regard since a survey published by the Government highlights that around 40% of firms have never switched but this could be a costly mistake since your provider may have moved you on to ‘deemed’ rates, which tend to be dearer. While searching for a new energy supplier can be a time-consuming process, and one that is often confusing, with help from experts who understand how the market works, it can be straightforward. Indeed, switching to a better and cheaper electricity deal is easy and simply takes a quick phone call with one of the D-Energi team and they will be able to search the entire marketplace to compare various tariffs and find a deal that will suit your needs.

This is a mistake because there is a lot of competition in the marketplace currently with deals and tariffs changing daily – unless you search for a new provider your business won’t know what these deals are and you will not reduce your overheads. If you want to know more about finding a cheaper commercial electricity quote then contact the experts at D-Energi.

A great way to reduce overheads is to swap to a cheap business gas and electric supplier and this article will offer some tips to do so. The most important tip is to act when your current gas or electricity provider contacts you with details of your next year’s contract.

These comparison websites are undoubtedly very popular but you need to be aware that they may not be searching the entire business energy supply market. As a result, there may be better deals and tariffs available that you will be unaware of so you should speak with a firm that has access to the entire marketplace – as D-Energi does.

Understand how to compare business energy per kWh If you decide to carry out the exercise yourself, then you’ll need to understand how to compare business energy per kWh because this is how the offer will be made. The kilowatt-hour is how much energy your firm uses and the prices between suppliers will vary but you need to be aware that the standing charge is an additional cost. Essentially, a potential new provider may offer a much lower price per kWh but increase their standing charge so you may not be saving money, or even worse, be spending more. This is where the expertise of the D-Energi team will come into its own because they not only understand how the business energy supply market works, but they have access to the entire marketplace to get the best deal. If you want to know more about swapping to a cheap business gas and electric supplier, then you need to contact the D-Energi energy team today.

The short answer to the question, ‘Should you compare business energy providers every year?’ is most definitely ‘Yes’! That’s because all firms and organisations should be looking at their energy overheads on a regular basis to ensure they are not paying more than they should be doing for their energy needs. If yours is one of those firms who has never switched energy providers previously, then it’s likely that your organisation has been switched automatically to a ‘deemed’ contract, which tends to be dearer than for those offered to new clients. The best time for searching and comparing business energy providers is when your current provider gets in touch with details of your contract rates for the coming year to see whether there are better and cheaper providers available. Compare business electricity providers There is no doubt that the market for supplying business energy is a competitive one, so you should compare business electricity providers to see who has the best deal available. You could contact electricity suppliers directly, give them a few details and see whether they have a cheaper tariff. This also means it can be a confusing and time-consuming process, and there may be better deals available from other suppliers that you won’t get to hear about. Alternatively, you could use an online business energy comparison site and these will search a range of potential suppliers to see what savings are available. These sites are quick and easy to use and you have to give a few details though you will still need to speak with a potential provider directly, so they can offer a bespoke tariff to meet your needs. Firms wanting to compare business gas suppliers These issues also extend to those firms wanting to compare business gas suppliers and you’ll need to shop around, but the marketplace is a competitive one for those firms that make the effort to source a new provider. It may be that a smaller energy provider will best meet your needs and also help you reduce consumption levels to help you deliver even greater savings and help boost your green credentials as a result. Using less gas and electricity for our everyday needs is an increasingly important aspect of business today. It also needs to be appreciated that for those firms who shop around that they don’t target their efforts at the ‘Big Six’ suppliers as they may find that their prices are similar and there are no real savings to be made and they then don’t bother switching. This could be an expensive mistake to make and the best way to compare business energy providers in the UK is to speak with the friendly team of experts at D-Energi who can search the entire marketplace in just a few minutes to find a deal that will not only meet your everyday needs but also be cheaper as well.
