Bills are more complicated than people think
There are genuine errors + savings hiding in there
It costs nothing to check

How We Check Your Energy Bills Energy bills aren’t just “units × price.” There are multiple charges, contract terms, industry codes, and supplier adjustments that most businesses never get explained. When we review your bill, we don’t just glance at the headline total — we break it down properly.
What We Check On Your Electricity Bill ✔ Unit rate (are you on deemed or out-of-contract pricing?)
✔ Standing charges (daily fixed costs)
✔ Contract end date and renewal terms
✔ VAT rate applied (5% vs 20%)
✔ Climate Change Levy (CCL)
✔ Half-hourly data (if applicable)
✔ Pass-through charges (non-commodity costs)
✔ Estimated vs actual readings We check whether your rates match what you agreed — and whether your contract has quietly expired.
What We Check On Your Gas Bill ✔ Unit rate & standing charge
✔ Correction factor calculations
✔ Contract status
✔ VAT and CCL
✔ Estimated billing errors
✔ Meter classification Gas bills often include correction factors that most business owners never question — but incorrect calculations can inflate usage.
Common Issues We Find
Businesses stuck on deemed rates
Contracts rolled onto expensive out-of-contract pricing
Incorrect VAT applied
Estimated readings leading to inflated bills
Wrong meter types registered
Contract rates not matching the agreed terms
Multiple meters billed incorrectly
Most of these go unnoticed because suppliers don’t proactively highlight them.
How the Process Works 1️⃣ You send us a recent bill (photo or PDF is fine).
2️⃣ We analyse the rates, contract status, and billing structure.
3️⃣ We confirm whether everything is correct — or show you where savings may be available. If everything looks competitive, we’ll tell you.
If it doesn’t, we’ll show you your options clearly. No obligation. No pressure.
Why This Matters Energy contracts auto-renew.
Rates change.
Letters go to old addresses. Many businesses only realise they’re overpaying when it’s already cost them thousands. A proper bill review takes experience — and that’s what we provide.
