If you don't switch before your contract ends: You're automatically moved to expensive "deemed" or "rollover" gas rates. Unit rates can increase 30-70% overnight. Restaurants, pubs, and cafes are particularly vulnerable. Many businesses overpay for years without realizing suppliers have no obligation to warn you.
Higher rates, easier to exit. Suitable for temporary premises or expected changes.
Optimal price-security balance. Recommended for cafes, shops, and offices.
Lowest rates, least flexible. Ideal for hospitality and manufacturing businesses.
The biggest cost driver. A 1.5p/kWh difference can save a restaurant £1,000+ annually.
Locked rates protect against wholesale market volatility, especially important for heating seasons.
Cafes, restaurants, and pubs benefit most from comparison due to high cooking/heating usage.
Compare total cost including standing charges. Headline rates are meaningless without context.
Businesses with commercial kitchens or manufacturing processes qualify for large supply pricing where negotiation delivers biggest savings.
Carbon-offset gas available with minimal price differences. Supports ESG goals without guaranteed cost increases.
Improve billing accuracy and usage monitoring, but fixed pricing remains best for cost control and budgeting.
Business postcode, current supplier, contract end date, and annual kWh usage. Estimates work for initial comparison.
Focus on total annual cost, not just unit rates. Include standing charges, contract length, and exit terms.
Choose a fixed-term contract matching your business needs. New supplier handles switch seamlessly within 2-4 weeks.
