COMMON QUESTIONS

What are the advantages of using a Utilities Consultancy?

  1. Cost Savings: Energy consultants are experts in identifying opportunities for cost savings in your energy consumption. They analyse your energy usage, recommend efficiency measures, and negotiate better rates with suppliers to reduce your energy expenses.

  2. Expertise: Energy consultants stay up-to-date with industry trends, regulations, and technologies. They provide valuable insights and strategies to optimise your energy usage, helping you make informed decisions for your business.

  3. Tailored Solutions: Every business is unique. Energy consultants design customised energy plans that align with your specific goals, whether it's reducing carbon emissions, enhancing sustainability, or ensuring a reliable energy supply.

  4. Risk Management: Consultants help mitigate energy-related risks by developing contingency plans for supply disruptions, market fluctuations, and regulatory changes. This ensures your business remains resilient.

  5. Time Savings: Managing energy procurement, compliance, and sustainability initiatives can be time-consuming. With an energy consultant handling these tasks, you can focus on core business operations while they handle the details.

Why can't I go direct to a supplier?

You absolutely can! Using a consultancy doesn't prohibit you from dealing with your supplier as well. Using a consultant to arrange your contracts and manage your bills allows you be kept aware of which suppliers are competitive at any given time, as well as having people on hand to deal with queries on your behalf, rather than you being stuck on hold trying to solve problems yourself.

How are you paid?

Depending on the work that you require, most of the time your final price includes any commission to be paid. This is paid directly to your supplier, who then pay us. If you have specialist sitework or portfolio management, you may have a different arrangement in place which will be made clear to you in advance of any agreements being signed.
