Questions
Our landlord bills us for energy. Can you help?
If the supply isn't in your name, you usually can't switch it. Talk to your landlord. See commercial landlords.
We've moved to hybrid working. Does it matter?
Your consumption may have dropped. Make sure suppliers price on current figures.
Who pays for energy in a serviced office?
Usually the landlord, through your service charge or licence fee.
We introduce enquiries to an energy broker partner and may receive a fee. We're not a supplier and don't give whole-of-market advice. How we're paid
