Switching business gas supplier can give you a warm feeling – in your pocket

Dec. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- Winter is officially upon us. The weather has taken a turn for the colder, there is frost (and in some cases snow) on the ground, leaves and branches are being battered from the trees by gale force winds, and bobble hats, fleeces and gloves are the latest thing to wear. In offices and other businesses across the country, central heating is being turned up and expenditure on business gas is set to rise.

For many small and medium sized business owners, winter is a time of fear that the price of their business gas bills could make a serious dent in their company's books, particularly bad news in a climate of continued financial austerity all round. http://www.energyadviceline.org.uk/business_electricity.php

Last winter's particularly cold spell in January saw many companies turning up the thermostat and spending far more than they anticipated on business gas bills.

SME owners care about their employees; they want (and are legally obliged) for them to be warm and comfortable in their working environment.

But they also know that high utility bills can sometimes put a whole business's future at risk. So what is a small business owner to do?

The first thing to consider is whether you are getting the best deal for your business gas.

Automatic roll-over contracts have been stopped thanks to OfGem, although for many business owners the moves did not go far enough, and appeared to be bowing to the demands of the energy giants.

Whatever your opinion, it is still highly unlikely that, come contract renewal time, you will get the best business gas deals from your current utility company. In other words, it pays to shop around.

In order to shop around effectively, you must be aware of your business gas contract's expiration date. Here an independent energy broker such as Energy Advice Line can help – they provide a free contract renewal reminder service, meaning they will call you to remind you when your business energy contracts are set to expire.

Energy Advice Line also have access to all the major business energy suppliers and are updating their prices on a daily basis. They can negotiate on your behalf to find the best prices on business gas and business electricity to suit your organisation.
