FAQ’s
How much energy does a care home use?
For a care home, using a lot of energy comes with the territory. The main goal is to keep residents safe and comfortable. As you walk into a care home you will notice how warm it is, and how much lighting is used. So it does have high energy consumption, this is why it is even more important to make sure the energy contract you are on is right for you.
When can I switch my energy provider?

How long does it take to switch care home energy providers?
You are able to register with a new energy supplier within 28 days of your current energy contract finishing, so how long it takes to switch does depend on this date.
Can bring my bills down by making my care home more energy efficient?
There are of course other ways you can save money on your care home energy bills, and you can do this by making your care home more energy efficient. Some of the things you can do is fitting thermostatic radiator valves, which just means you will be able to control the heating more accurately, plus if you are still using electric heaters, you should change to central heating as this can be much cheaper to run, without affecting the comfort of your residents in any way. Also make sure your care home is insulated properly so there is less wasted heat, as heating is a huge part of the energy consumption in care homes. All these things can help bring your energy consumption down, but the best way to save money is to switch suppliers. You will need to find out when your current contract comes to an end before you can look at switching suppliers. You can check the end date by looking at one of your recent energy bills.
What is a fixed energy tariff?
This tariff means your energy is set at a fixed price for the duration of your contract.
What is a variable business energy tariff?
Unlike the fixed tariff, the price of your energy will move up or down with the energy market. Meaning the price you pay does change from time to time. This is a riskier tariff but you can benefit from it.
What is a green energy tariff?
A green tariff will use renewable energy which is better for the environment. Renewable energy is more expensive than non-renewable energy, so you need to weigh up what is best for your care home.
