Business gas prices

Simply reducing usage is a good place to start, however, if you’re paying high rates then this can counteract all that hard work. The business gas market is highly competitive, subsequently, this requires getting quotes from the countless amounts of gas suppliers.

Alternatively, you can ask Utility Bidder to get immediate pricing form UK gas suppliers, giving you competitive pricing whether you look to switch energy.

Most gas suppliers give you a window of between 6 and 12 months to secure a new contract. Securing a contract with a new supplier in due time, before your contract end date, will help prevent you from paying out of contract rates, also improving the ease of transition between one supplier to another.

Securing a long term, fixed rate tariff gas contract early could help to protect you from the elements, although it can’t be avoided forever, unfortunately.

We recommend securing a new business gas deal early to avoid disappointment. Switching supplier can provide good savings for your business.

Finding the best business gas quote can be difficult. There’s many new suppliers emerging in the market, plus the big 6 and other established suppliers.

Due to no two businesses being the same, all business gas cases should be treat differently.

There are two types of gas meters – digital and dial:

Digital – When reading the meter, read from left to right, ignoring red figures. Also ignore any zero’s and digits after the decimal point.

Dial – Again, when reading a digital meter, read from left to right, if the point is between numbers then take the lower figure. If this is between 0 and 9 then take the number 9 for the reading.

Ignore red readings.
