The UK’s ‘big six’ business gas suppliers, including British Gas, are promoting a two-pronged approach.
It’s pretty simple: switching energy provider and becoming more energy efficient can save your business money.
That sounds pretty attractive to hard-pressed customers desperately trying to protect their profits. But what does it all mean exactly?
Recommendations from the energy industry regulator, Ofgem, and new legislation have been taken on board. As a result, major business gas providers have realised the need to enhance their offer.
This means that incentives for switching supplier, improved customer service and advice have become paramount.
For example, British Gas advertise significant savings if you change to one of their tariffs online.
Sounds good. But what about that nagging switching process? Your business has better things to do than get buried in more paperwork. Thankfully, there is the promise that this will get taken care of too.
OK, but what about becoming more energy efficient? How will this benefit my business? That’s a good question and one that energy companies are keen to answer.
The simple truth is that following advice on how to reduce gas consumption and improve efficiency has numerous benefits. Not only will your business save money, it will also boost its ‘green’ credentials.
British Gas and other energy providers are aware of the need to help businesses cut costs. Energy bills in particular have become a sore point for many companies.
Thankfully, an easier switching process, price incentives and free energy efficiency advice are coming to the fore. Indeed, the two-pronged approach of ‘switch and save’ (money and energy) is starting to dominate the market.
