5 Genius Ways Your Business Can Save On Energy Bills

As a business, you are always looking to do the best you can without overspending. Business energy bills can add up to a huge expense very quickly, so finding a way to cut down on your average business energy bill can be very important.

But how do you even go about cutting the cost without cutting back too much?

Well, read on - we have collected five genius ways to save money on your gas and electricity bills while still getting the most from your supplier.

Switch Suppliers

While you may be comfortable with your current energy provider, how satisfied are you? Many businesses avoid making a switch not because they are pleased with the cost and service provided by their current energy supplier, but because they consider switching to be an unnecessary headache. Understanding business energy bills might seem confusing, but it can be easier than you think.

Switching suppliers need not be painful! You could, in fact, save around £200 over the course of a year (based on the average energy bill for small business setups) when switching from a standard/default tariff set at the level of the price cap to the cheapest available deal.

Control The Heat

It can be all too easy to keep your business heated at a standard level, depending on the time of year. And yet, you could make substantial savings by installing and using heating controls. These are not only great for your wallet but could be good for the planet, too.

In fact, heating controls can cut carbon emissions by 320kg per year and could save you an impressive £75 over the course of a year.

Go Electric

Rather than always relying on gas radiators, electric heaters can be a lot more bespoke. These smaller heaters can be controlled easily by whoever is on the premises at the time, and do not rely on a timer system. Therefore, you will not be heating your business when you are not in the office.

Replace The Bulbs

Replacing your light bulbs with energy-saving alternatives is another amazing step you can take both for your business and the planet. These bulbs last a lot longer than your traditional light bulbs, so you will need to replace them less frequently. This means you create less waste and save some cash; you could save an average of £180 per year on light bulbs alone!

Hot water might not be the first thing you think of when you consider energy savings, but newer boiler models are far more energy efficient. Having your boiler replaced could save you money not just on repairs, but on your daily water usage too. While this might seem like a big outgoing initially, the savings soon add up.
