Most businesses review their energy contract once — when they first sign up — and then forget about it entirely. Life gets busy, and energy just sort of… gets paid.
But the energy market doesn’t stand still. And a deal that was competitive two years ago may be quietly draining your margins today.
Here are five signs it’s probably time for a review.
1. Your contract is due to renew in the next 6–12 months This is the single biggest trigger. If you’re coming up on renewal and haven’t started comparing options, you’re running out of time to get the best deal. Start the conversation early.
2. Your business has changed size or usage Taken on more staff? Opened a new location? Changed your operating hours? Your energy usage profile has likely shifted — and your contract should reflect that.
3. You’ve never actually switched supplier If you’ve been with the same supplier since you opened your doors, there’s a very good chance you’re not on the best available rate. Loyalty doesn’t pay in the energy market.
4. Your bills have crept up without explanation Sometimes costs rise gradually and it’s easy to miss. If your bills are noticeably higher than they were 12 months ago and your usage hasn’t changed, it’s worth digging into why.
5. You arranged your current contract yourself, without a broker Going direct to a supplier usually means you miss out on rates that brokers can access. Having someone in your corner who knows the market — and can compare multiple suppliers at once — typically leads to a better outcome.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth having a conversation. We offer a free, no-obligation energy review for businesses of all sizes. No hard sell, no call centre runaround — just a straightforward look at what you’re paying and what you could be paying instead.
