The weather is being a strange beast at the moment. It’s hot, then cold, then hot again. . . For those of us forking out for business electricity bills this can be a bit of a nightmare.
Cheap business electricity is an essential requirement to help keep costs down as staff, who are frozen one day and roasted the next, crank up the heating then the air conditioning. All of this can have a depressingly large effect on your business electricity bills, as air conditioning units can be very expensive to run.
All this is bad news at a time when business electricity and business gas prices show no sign of getting any lower, and all the while many small businesses are still struggling to survive.
Air conditioning units are well-known as being big consumers of business electricity. Summer is nearly upon us and (hopefully!) soon the weather will be taking a long-term turn for the warmed. This means that it’s the perfect time to have your air conditioning units checked out to make sure they are running efficiently – helping you save money before you even contact your business electricity supplier.
Energy Advice Line have some handy tips that you can follow to help keep your business electricity costs down, and not have you breaking into a cold sweat.
For office based businesses, opening windows and using ceiling fans are more energy efficient than air conditioning systems, while in restaurants, pubs and shops opening the doors and windows will help keep your staff comfortable. All this may seem like ‘No shock, Sherlock!’ stuff – but it’s surprising how many small businesses are seeing their business electricity costs increase due to not following such simple advice.
Many businesses still reach for the air conditioning switch as soon as the weather hots up.
So, to stop you as a small business owner getting hot under the collar, once you have followed these practical steps, you should then contact a business electricity price comparison service such as Energy Advice Line, to compare business electricity suppliers. Particularly if you are getting near to contract renewal time, you will find that, just like in the summer sales in the high street, it pays to shop around for business electricity and gas!
