Should I switch my manufacturing energy provider?

For any form of energy contract it is always recommended that when your contract ends, you should shop around and see which energy suppliers can give you the best deal. It is especially important for manufacturers, as manufacturing companies can use up a lot of energy and therefore the bills can be significantly higher than other businesses. So a small thing of switching suppliers can literally save hundreds of pounds per year. Flash Compare can help you with the switch by comparing prices from our panel of suppliers. We only work with energy providers that you can trust, and we will recommend the energy supplier that is most suited to your business.

There will be different tariffs that are available to choose from, and you will have the final say in what tariff and contract you pick. No two manufacturing businesses are the same, so we can’t say there is one particular tariff that is best for manufacturers, this is something you will need to make a decision on. There are many reasons for either choosing a fixed rate contract, or a variable, there is no right answer.

Switching manufacturing energy providers couldn’t be easier, and doing so can save you a lot of money. Using Flash Compare can make this process quick and hassle free. If you switch providers and choose a contract that suits you, the only difference you will notice is a different company sending you your energy bill, and your business is not wasting money on being overcharged for your energy.

If you want to save money on your energy bills, as well as switching providers, you can also make changes to your business. Energy efficiency in manufacturing will also save money in the long run. As a manufacturer, one of the first things you can do is turn your heating down, even just 1°C can shave off 8% from your energy bill, and this doesn’t compromise the comfort of your staff. You should also turn off any compressors that are not being used, as a compressor that is sat idly, can still use up to 40% of its full load. So turning these off, not only can save money, but will help reduce your carbon footprint. Another simple thing you can do, is make sure all your windows and skylights are clean, as any time it’s possible to switch off your lights, and work in natural light is only a good thing, and should be done as much as possible.

So while there are many ways you can save money on your energy bill, one of the best things you can do is look at switching your energy provider, which can be done through Flash Compare. Do this alongside having energy efficiency in manufacturing.

Manufacturing Electricity

Manufacturing Energy

This differs from domestic energy, as you cannot get your manufacturing energy in one bundle, from one supplier. You have to go through two separate quotes for your manufacturing electric and gas. You can get both of these through Flash Compare.

Manufacturing Electricity

How your manufacturing electricity is priced can depend on many factors, including the region of your business. We can help you find the right electricity provider for your business.

Manufacturing Gas

Manufacturing gas can be priced cheaper than domestic gas prices, depending on the size and energy use of your manufacturing business. We can find a gas supplier that works best for you.

FAQ’s

I have an energy efficient manufacturing business, will this make a difference?

Having great energy efficiency in manufacturing can of course make a difference to your finances as you will pay less out on energy. It is always good practice to minimise the amount of wasted energy you use. Of course, the best way of saving money on energy is to look at switching suppliers.

Can I cancel my current manufacturing energy contract?

It is trickier to cancel a manufacturing energy contract than it is a domestic energy contract. Energy for businesses is priced up differently, as the supplier will essentially estimate how much energy you will use, based on your individual business, and they will buy that energy in bulk for you. In most cases you are not able to cancel that contract, so you should always make sure it works for you before you take it out.

Can I switch manufacturing energy contracts if my business is moving?

Yes, if your business is moving to a new business address, you will need to find out who the supplier to that building is, and then change the account name over to your business name. You can then use Flash Compare to see new contract prices available to you.

What is a variable energy tariff?

The unit prices you will pay for your energy will change alongside the energy market. This means it is possible for you to pay less than you would have if you were on a fixed tariff, but on the other hand you could also pay more. There is more of a risk to this tariff, and it is more suited to manufacturers that are financially stable, so there is less worry if the price goes up some months.

What is a fixed energy tariff?

Fixed tariffs can be beneficial for manufacturers who want financial security, as the price of your energy will stay the same throughout the period of the contract. This means there are no surprise bills, as you will always know how much your outgoings are for your energy.

What is a green energy tariff?

A manufacturer that decides to go green can be a positive look for their customers, which can differentiate you from the competition. However, be aware that green energy can be priced higher than non-renewable energy.

Do you have fixed term contracts available?

Yes, these contracts will be set for a period of time. 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 years contracts are available.

How do I know when my manufacturing energy contract is coming to an end?

You can check your most recent energy bill, as the end date of your contract will be listed on this. You should be aware of this end date, so you know when you can shop around for a new energy supplier.
