Rob says that thanks to the competitive rates secured by Utility Bidder in his studio, it would actually be cheaper to live there than at home! “We pay about £30 a month for gas during the winter and around £25 a month for electricity – and that’s despite having a lot of energy guzzling equipment such as studio lights and fan heaters. Our energy bills at home are far more expensive!”
Paul Kay was fantastic in securing us a great deal and explaining everything in full. Thanks and would wholeheartedly recommended.
To start saving money on your business electricity you have to tackle consumption and energy spend. Energy monitoring and saving devices are good, but if you want to save money you also have to look at your energy statements to see how much you’re paying for your unit rate and daily standing charge. Keep your contract end date in mind, you can start comparing business electricity quotes up to one year before your contract end date. Your current rates will be used as a starting point.
Many suppliers are offering their customers free smart meters, allowing you to monitor your usage in real time. Why not see what optional extras you can get with a contract by speaking to us today.
If you could save money by switching, we’ll let you know. But we won’t stop there. To save you time, hassle and disruption, your Utility Bidder account manager will handle the switching process. You’ll get a better price and a smooth, seamless switch. It really couldn’t be easier.
There are three common types of electric meters used in businesses. These are:
Digital meters – simply read from left to right. If you have an ECO20:20 or Economy 7 meter, you’ll have sets of two numbers – make sure you take note of both readings.
Electronic meters – there are two different types of electronic meters. Meters that show a digital cycle display in which you have to press a button to see the numbers displayed and meters in which the numbers will be visible at all times. Remember to disregard the red numbers and refer to your previous bill or Utility Bidder to find your day and night rates.
Dial meters – simply read this type of meter from left to right. If the number is between two different digits, always take the lower number. If this is between 9 and 0 then take the number 9.
Utility Bidder can help you to change your electricity contract early. Why is it a smart idea to do this? Well, business electricity costs are increasing all the time. So, it makes sense to lock into a long-term fixed term contract. If you can lock in low rates for longer, your business will have more protection from market fluctuations.
And when your fixed contract runs out, trust Utility Bidder to secure new electricity deals for you. We’re proud to have many long-standing customers, who trust us to put their needs first.
Your contract end date can be found on your bill, but if your struggling to find it then we can help. Our business electricity brokers are experts at analysing bills. You could be out of contract and paying inflated out of contract rates.
Due to our status with brokers. We can help ensure that you switch to the best deal for your company. Call us today to find out if your business is paying too much.
A smart mater automatically checks your energy consumption every month. Subsequently, your businesses electricity bills will be more accurate. This can help save on your electricity usage. A lot of suppliers can offer smart meters for free as part of your deal.
You can switch your electricity supplier at the end of your contract. It’s important to check if your contract has come to an end because your business could be on to a variable price plan. Variable rates are a lot higher than your contract rate, therefore you will be paying a lot more that you need to.
Most electricity suppliers give you a six month window to choose a new contract before the end date, while others are more generous and give you a whole year.
Chat with one of our friendly commercial team and we will analyse your current contract and bills and let you know when you can switch.
Generally speaking, business electricity costs are cheaper than domestic prices. However, there are a number of considerations to take into account before choosing your tariff:
To find out more, give Utility Bidder a call and we can analyse your current contract and recent bills, finding out if your business is paying too much for its electricity.
There’s many additional and inclusive charges that make up your statement. Only around 44 per cent of your unit rate is made up of raw electricity, the rest is made up of additional charges that get picked up on the journey to you. Roughly 28 per cent goes to ‘use of systems’ charges, while the remaining 28 per cent of you bill goes to government schemes.
What does this mean for businesses? Unfortunately, it can mean higher bills. Business electricity prices per unit increased again in 2018 and future rises could be on the cards. This is why it’s so essential to ensure you’re on the right tariff and getting the very best deal on electricity.
Although these charges are steadily rising, you could still make significant savings on your business electricity contract. It could add up to hundreds if not thousands of pounds a year, depending on the size of your premises.
We understand that the complexities of the energy market can be overwhelming. This is why we offer our expertise as industry experts, giving trusted advice and award-winning customer service. Work with Utility Bidder and we will guide you to lower costs and solutions that meet your exact needs.
