What information do you need from me to get a quote?
Gas – Your gas bill will show us your Meter Point Reference Number or MPRN. The
MPRN is unique to the property & tells us important information like how much gas
you use annually. This information is vital in helping us offer you accurate prices.
Electricity – Your electricity bill will hold your Meter Point Administration Number
or MPAN, which is again unique to the property. As with gas, your electricity MPAN
number will tell us what kind of meter you have and therefore what kind of tariff
will be correct for your property.
How does it work?
- It's simple, fill in our online form or call us FREE on 0800 043 0423.
- We will ask a few quick questions to assess your needs and then review your current
charges against current market offers from a range of key UK business gas and business
electricity suppliers.
- We will then call you back and let you know how much you could save.
- If you are happy with what we have recommended, you then have the option to accept
the business energy supplier’s offer.
- We will then manage the process of switching for you.
Is there any cost for this service?
No. Suppliers whose prices we have access to have agreed to pay us for every sale
they make through Utility Helpline. This small commission allows us to continue
to provide our free service, which you can use time and time again.
How long does this take to switch suppliers?
Transferring to a new supplier will take between 4-6 weeks. If you do decide to
switch we will manage this process for you to ensure a smooth transfer.
Why should I switch?
Switching your business gas or business electricity supplier could save you as much
as 65% a year. You may also find that other suppliers have a range of services or
tariffs that are more suitable to your business needs.
If I do switch? Will there be any interruption to my supply?
No, your new energy supplier will continue to use exactly the same wires, cables
and pipes as are currently used. We will arrange the transfer of your business gas
or electricity and the only change you will notice is the suppliers name at the
top of the bill, and the electricity or gas at the new lower price!
Why don't you show prices online?
Business Gas & Electricity Online Price comparison sites that show prices online
use “Pricing matrix” or “Price Books”. We also have access to these business energy
prices and they can be very competitive, however not all leading energy suppliers
offer these quick quote pricing books.
In order to ensure we source our clients the best business energy prices available,
we use both methods to source & compare business electricity and gas. Therefore
we prefer not to offer just a limited range of prices online, choosing instead to
send a simple price comparison sheet, outlining our most competitive business energy
suppliers’ offers directly to our clients via e-mail or fax.
