Frequently asked questions
What is an LOA ?

An LOA ( letter of authority ) allows us to find information from your current supplier such as usage and contract end date. If we arrange the switch we can use this to inform the supplier.

Do you arrange the switch of supplier ?

Yes we deal with everything. Once you are happy with your new rates you can sit back and relax and we will take care of the rest.

What support do you offer ?

We don't just arrange the new supply and disappear like some brokers.

If you ever have any queries or questions then we deal with the supplier on your behalf ( no more sitting on hold ) 

Do you offer any other services ?

Yes- we also work with waste and water suppliers and can help save you money there.

Will switching interrupt my supply?

No. Switching supplier is purely a billing and contractual change - the electricity, gas or water reaching your premises is exactly the same. There's no interruption and no disruption to your business.

Do I have to wait until my current contract ends?

Not necessarily. Many business contracts can be arranged ahead of time so your new rate is locked in and ready to start the day your current deal expires. It's worth getting in touch well before your renewal date so you don't roll onto expensive out-of-contract rates.

Why use a broker instead of going direct?

A broker compares the whole market for you in one go, rather than you contacting suppliers one at a time. We know which suppliers suit different business types, we handle the negotiation and paperwork, and we manage the switch - saving you time as well as helping you avoid overpaying.

Do you only work with businesses in Chester?

We work with businesses across Chester, the wider Cheshire area and the North West, as well as those just over the Welsh border. Wherever you're based, we can compare your utility costs and manage your switch.

Business energy in Chester: what local firms need to know

Chester's commercial base splits fairly neatly into three groups, and each one buys energy differently. There are the hospitality and retail businesses in and around the Rows, Northgate and Eastgate, where trading hours create a peaky daytime and evening load. There are the offices at Chester Business Park and along the Sealand Road corridor, with flat weekday consumption and long, low overnight baseloads. And there are the hotels, venues and attractions serving the city's visitor trade, where usage swings hard with the season. Suppliers price each of those shapes differently, which is why two Chester businesses with similar annual consumption can be quoted very different rates.

Chester's network region affects your rate

Electricity in Chester is distributed across the Merseyside, Cheshire and North Wales region by SP Energy Networks, the old Manweb area, and gas is transported through Cadent's North West network. Distribution and transmission charges are set regionally, so an identical business in Chester and one in the Midlands can be quoted different standing charges by the same supplier on the same day. A large share of a typical bill is made up of these non-commodity costs, which is why comparing unit rates on their own tells you very little. We look at the full delivered cost for your Chester supply point.

Older buildings, higher bills

Chester has an unusually high concentration of listed and period commercial premises, particularly in the city centre. Solid walls, single glazing and older heating systems all push consumption up, and there is often limited scope to change that when you do not own the building or cannot alter its fabric. Where efficiency work is not an option, the contract becomes the main lever you have: the right rate, on the right term, agreed at the right point in the market.

Why Chester businesses end up overpaying

Timing, mostly. When a fixed contract lapses without a new one agreed, supply moves onto out-of-contract or deemed rates, which are typically the most expensive rates a supplier offers. Automatic rollovers catch others out, as does accepting a renewal quote from an existing supplier without testing it against the wider market. Businesses that have recently taken on premises in the city are frequently sitting on deemed rates without realising it. And if you run more than one site across Cheshire, misaligned contract end dates are usually costing you more than the unit rate is.

Sites either side of the Welsh border

Chester sits close to the border, and businesses with premises in both Cheshire and Flintshire or Wrexham can end up in different charging regions on what feels like the same patch. If that applies to you, it is worth quoting the sites together so the regional difference is visible rather than buried in the detail.

How to get started

Send us a recent bill, or just your business name and postcode, and we can usually pull your usage and contract end date ourselves. We compare 15+ suppliers, come back with the options laid out plainly, and handle the switch with both your old and new supplier. Prefer to talk it through first? Call 0151 541 6767.
