What Happens When I Switch Business Gas Supplier?
Once we start the switching process, your dedicated account manager will keep you updated on the switch. You will not lose any supply.
The process of switching gas suppliers usually takes around 4-6 weeks. It may take longer if a new gas meter needs to be installed at your business premises. If you're moving to a multi-site gas meter, this may be the case.
The rules for business energy suppliers are different from those for domestic suppliers. Business energy suppliers are only required to provide micro businesses with renewal letters. This means that if businesses don’t stay on top of their renewal dates, they could be left with uncompetitive rates.
If your business hasn’t switched suppliers for a few years, you may be overpaying for your business gas. The easiest way to find out if you’re overpaying is to run a business gas comparison.
What Makes Up My Business Gas Bill?
Once the factors above have been taken into account, your business gas rates will be broken down into two main charges. These are your unit rate (or price per kWh) and standing charges.
Your unit rate is how much you are charged for each unit of energy you use. This is charged in pence per kWh. The UK average business gas rate per kWh in 2023 is 9.95 pence per kWh for a business using 25,000kWh of gas a year, on a 2-year contract.
Your standing charge is a set daily fee. This is paid regardless of how much energy you have used that day. A standing charge covers the cost of your gas supply.
You should also take into account the effect of taxes on your business gas bill. Businesses are required to pay VAT at a higher rate of 20%. On top of this, businesses must pay the Climate Change Levy (CCL). This is an environmental tax which is added to your bill.
It’s important to consider all costs before switching business gas. A tariff with a lower unit rate and a high-standing charge could cost you more in the long term.
Our team will work with you to consider all this when finding the best business gas deal for you.
How to Choose the Right Business Gas Deal
Think about the way your business consumes energy. This could be how much energy you use, the type of energy you use, or when your business consumes energy.
If your business operates seasonally, a no-standing charge tariff could offer the best savings. With a no-standing charge tariff, you won’t be charged any fees when you are not using your business gas.
It’s important to consider your business needs before signing any business gas contracts.
You may get a better business gas deal by looking more closely at your unit rates. For example, a higher standing charge may offset any savings you make with cheaper unit rates.
Large businesses that consume more than 200,000 kWh of gas a year can often access exclusive deals. Due to the amount of energy used, large businesses need to access tariffs tailored to their needs.
At Business Electricity Prices, we have a large business team who are specialists in finding great deals for high energy consumption customers.
For small and micro businesses, finding business gas rates cheaper is the main goal. Several business gas suppliers offer deals specifically targeted to small businesses. These can include tariffs with a fully online service to reduce overheads and costs.
Business Gas Prices FAQs
-
When is the best time to switch business gas suppliers?
You must be aware of your contract end date to avoid large commercial gas penalties. However, you can lock in prices during your renewal window. This window often opens 12 months before the end of your business gas contracts.
-
What if my business has more than one building?
If your business operates across multiple locations, some suppliers may offer you a discount on your commercial gas.
Our expert team can help you consolidate your billing and reduce your business gas costs if you have a multi-site business.
-
Do I have to pay a standing charge on my business gas?
It is possible to get a contract for your business with no standing charge. This is not always the cheapest option due to higher unit prices on commercial gas, but it could be beneficial if your usage is low. For example, this could be a suitable choice for a business that closes during weekends or only runs seasonally.
