If you would like to save hundreds or indeed thousands of pounds with a cheap business electricity quote, then it’s time to take action. Sadly, according to a government survey around 40% of firms in the UK have never switched their gas or electricity supplier. This means they are likely to be paying more than they need to for their utility provision. With some simple research and a call to the friendly D-Energi team, it is possible for most firms and organisations to save a substantial amount of money on their overheads. The government is also keen for more firms to switch as this will help stimulate the commercial electricity supply market which, in turn, will boost competition and help lower prices. It should also make suppliers provide better customer service and add-on services such as an energy consultation so their customer can reduce their usage levels and save even more. Comparing commercial electricity rates It’s also worth bearing in mind that when comparing business electricity rates that the market is more competitive, certainly more so than when we are finding an electricity provider for our homes. The result of this competition is that suppliers are keen to attract new business with tempting offers that should undercut your current provider’s rates. There are a number of ways to compare these commercial prices and in addition to contacting D-Energi, you could visit the various websites of these suppliers, offer a few details and find out what the potential deal is for your business. Alternatively, you could use an online comparison site that will look at various providers but because the market changes so frequently you may not be searching the entire market. Review their utility supply for cheap electricity prices Ultimately, every business and organisation should be looking to review their utility supply for cheap electric prices, and also for gas, because not switching suppliers may mean you have been rolled over automatically onto a contract where the rates are higher and this is called a ‘deemed’ contract. The best time to search the marketplace for low electricity prices for a business is when your current supplier contacts you to inform you what your next year’s electricity and gas rates will be; this offers a window of opportunity to end your contract with your current supplier and move to a new, cheaper contract to save money.   While the market to find a cheap commercial electricity quote can be confusing and time-consuming, the team at D-Energi will be able to offer help and advice to guide you through it and find an excellent deal.

If you are looking for advice on how you should compare business gas prices to boost profitability then this article will help. Firstly, it’s important to appreciate that sourcing a new business gas supply is not as straightforward as if we were finding a new gas provider for our homes. That’s because the business market is more competitive and your firm will be using more gas than a domestic property so a provider will need to offer a bespoke deal that will best meet your needs. There’s no doubt that by comparing business gas prices and then switching to a new provider could see a substantial amount of money being saved every year from your firm’s overheads. There’s a lot to recommend carrying out this exercise every year. Find the best commercial gas quote But how do you find the best commercial gas quote for your firm’s needs? One obvious way is to speak with the helpful team at D-Energi who have all the latest deals and tariffs available or you could contact various suppliers individually, hand them your business details and see what they offer. Alternatively, you could also visit an online business gas comparison website to see what the market rate for your needs will be but be aware that you will still need to speak with the supplier directly when you have found a quote you like. While there are obvious advantages for using an online comparison website as the prices are delivered quickly, it also needs to be appreciated that these sites may not be searching the entire marketplace so you may not be getting the best possible deal for your firm’s gas needs. Finding the cheapest gas tariff for your business This makes finding the cheapest gas tariff for your business a tad difficult since each supplier will tailor their offering and this will take into account the amount of gas your organisation will be using over the year and its location. In addition, it is possible to access a cheap gas tariff by signing up with a new supplier for more than one year – some suppliers will offer two and three-year contracts which may help with cash flow planning. However, the downside to signing up to a long-term gas tariff is that the gas prices for businesses may fall in the years to come and you may be trapped in a long-term contract that may be expensive to come out of.   For more help and advice about how you should compare business gas prices and find the deal and supplier that best meets your needs, then it’s time to contact the team at D-Energi.

It may not appear to be an obvious way to reduce overheads but your firm may benefit from an energy consultancy. But what is an energy consultancy and what are the benefits from this? Regardless of the size of your business and where you are, all firms and organisations could benefit from the services of an energy consultant. Essentially, they will be able to give business energy advice so you use less energy and enjoy much lower energy bills as a result. Energy services from a business energy consultancy However, it’s important to understand that the energy services from a business energy consultancy will be an independent and impartial offering. They will help your organisation make the right decisions that will benefit your business and no one else. One of the benefits will be to identify the patterns of your firm’s energy use as all firms have peaks and troughs which are reflected in your energy bills. By analysing the data, the energy consultant will look at ways of addressing these peaks and troughs and whether there are better deals or tariffs to meet your needs; for example, this may mean switching work to a cheaper off-peak period. Cost savings from undertaking an energy consultation The cost savings from undertaking an energy consultation could be impressive and when coupled to a cheaper deal with a new utility supplier means that the annual savings could be substantial which means profitability will be improved as well. It may be that they recommend a suitable energy alternative for your business needs, for example, solar power, and will help implement this strategy. There’s no doubt that growing numbers of firms are looking at having green sources of energy and its possible to find a supplier who generates electricity from environmentally friendly sources such as solar and wind. It’s also important that the energy consultant offers ongoing advice and their expertise could prove to be invaluable when it comes to renewing an energy deal with your current provider. Indeed, the consultancy should be part of the annual exercise when looking at where there are cost savings to be made and how much can be saved when switching to a new business energy supplier.   If you would like to know why your firm will benefit with an energy consultancy and to see how much your firm could save by switching business energy suppliers, then contact the experts at D-Energi.

Cheap business gas and electric suppliers entering the market While many firms will stick with the ‘big six’ suppliers there are cheap business gas and electric suppliers entering the market on a regular basis offering not only cheaper prices but better customer service and other attractive offerings as well. For example, a new utility provider may offer the opportunity of an energy consultancy so not only will you enjoy lower prices but the opportunity of reducing energy usage means you could save even more.

One of the most important reasons for why your business needs to understand commercial energy prices is that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all tariff. That’s not the same when we are looking for new energy suppliers for our homes and the business energy supply market is a competitive one. The commercial energy prices being quoted for a business will be made up of several aspects and will depend on how much energy you use and also your business size and location. There are also differing commercial energy rates for fixed and variable tariffs so careful thought needs to be given about what your potential future energy needs will be. Finding a commercial energy quote quickly Finding a commercial energy quote quickly that best meets your firm’s needs can be a confusing process because the supplier will need to offer a bespoke quote from the information you supply. It will also become apparent that the unit price being paid for business electricity use may be a lot cheaper than we pay for our homes but then the business will be using more energy. There’s also the difference between a variable and fixed rate tariff where a fixed energy price plan will define what the unit price will be over a set period of time. This can be between one and three years but some suppliers may offer five-year fixed deals. This can be of huge help for those firms wanting to plan their cash flow and future overhead costs effectively. It does though put your firm at a disadvantage should energy prices fall and you’re tied to a long-term contract paying more than you need to. Looking at commercial energy suppliers The other big issue when looking at commercial energy suppliers is whether you have switched providers in recent years; by not switching you may have been put on ‘deemed’ rates. If you have, then these rates are generally more expensive than new customers will enjoy and some suppliers may offer out of contract rates which also tend to be dearer. There’s no doubt that you could save money on your business energy overheads by simply shopping around but this can be a time-consuming and confusing process.   The easiest way to find the best commercial energy prices for your business is to speak with the friendly team at D-Energi to see what offers and tariffs are available.

Regardless of your firm’s size, you could save substantial amounts of money when you compare business energy prices between suppliers. The energy supply market for businesses is a competitive one and there are lots of suppliers offering excellent deals. But how do you access these great deals? The first step may be to visit various energy supply websites to find out what they are offering for a firm of your size and its location. Compare business electricity and gas prices It’s also easy to compare business electricity and gas prices on one of the many comparison websites. These are easy-to-use and you simply enter your postcode, a few details about your business and its current tariff and what you want from a new supplier. The online site will deliver a list of potential tariffs that might meet your needs and you pick the one you think is best and the site itself may handle the switching process or you may have to speak with an energy supplier directly and give them the details for a bespoke quote. Sounds like a great process, doesn’t it? Business looking to compare business gas and electricity prices However, for any business looking to compare business gas and electricity prices the one drawback to using a comparison website is that it might not be searching the entire marketplace. This means that you may not be accessing the best deals or tariffs that will best meet your firm’s needs. Indeed, you might be better served by speaking with experts who understand how the market works and who have access to the latest deals and offers and within a few minutes can carry out that search and help your business save, potentially, a substantial amount of money on your overheads every year. We should also highlight that all firms and organisations should look at their energy bills on an annual basis to see whether there is room to save by switching to a new business gas and electricity supplier. Unfortunately, according to a government survey around 40% of firms have never bothered to switch supplier so they are probably paying much more than they need to because their supplier may have moved them onto a ‘deemed’ contract which will be on much higher rates than a new customer will enjoy. If your firm has never switched from one of the ‘big six’ suppliers then you may be in for a big surprise when you find out how much you can save when switching.   For more information about how you can compare business energy prices effectively, then speak with the team at D-Energi.
