Energy Advice Line - Business Electricity and Gas
David Cameron’s coalition government is committed to strict targets on carbon emissions and green energy targets.
For business energy customers, the primary concerns are potential interruptions to supply and exponential increases in the costs of business electricity and gas.
The coalition plans to use both nuclear and green power generation to allay these fears and ensure the security of the UK’s energy supply. http://www.energyadviceline.org.uk/
But for many SMEs, business gas and electricity are such important overheads that they cannot wait for new infrastructure to be built – with the economy in such a delicate position it is crucial to these businesses’ survival to save money on business energy today.
To do this, keeping an eye on your business energy contract renewal dates is essential.
This means that, when the time is right, you can shop around for the best deals on business electricity and gas contracts. You are unlikely to get the most cost effective deal from your current supplier, especially if they roll you over on to a new contract.
However, the issue of time can be a real problem for many small business owners because calling around five or six energy companies can take a lot of hours and effort, and leave you feeling frustrated stuck in call centre queues.
By employing the services of an independent energy advisor such as Energy Advice Line, you can compare the prices and contract options from all the major business energy suppliers quickly and easily in one place. You can do this online or over the telephone for free, and are under no obligation to accept the deals you are offered.
Energy Advice Line can even keep an eye on your contract renewal date for you to ensure you don’t miss this important deadline.
But there also many things you can do right now to save business electricity and gas costs.
In the summer, business energy expenditure traditionally goes down, until temperatures reach the point when air conditioning is turned on. http://www.energyadviceline.org.uk/
One option to save business electricity costs is to install ceiling fans instead of air conditioning units.
Whatever the nature of your business, you should also check your equipment is running efficiently. An old freezer that isn’t functioning properly, for example, can eat into your profits.
Turning off computers and not leaving equipment on standby, removing every second lightbulb in corridors and, where possible, having windows that open can all help with bringing business energy costs down.
