Assess Your Usage Needs

  • Analyse Consumption: Review your utility usage patterns to understand peak times and specific requirements. This helps ensure you're not overpaying or experiencing shortages.
  • Plan for Changes: Anticipate any future business changes, such as growth or seasonal fluctuations, that may impact utility needs.
  • Use Smart Monitoring Tools: Employ smart meters and other monitoring solutions to track real-time consumption, identify waste, and optimise usage.

Review Contract Terms and Length

  • Fixed vs. Variable Rates: Choose fixed-rate contracts for budget stability or variable rates for flexibility, depending on your business's risk tolerance.
  • Consider Contract Duration: Short-term contracts offer adaptability, while long-term agreements may secure lower rates but limit the ability to switch providers.
  • Beware of Auto-Renewals: Keep track of contract renewal dates and avoid automatic renewals by renegotiating terms ahead of time.

Manage Utility Debt Proactively

  • Monitor Bills Regularly: Keep an eye on outstanding balances to prevent debt accumulation and ensure accuracy.
  • Negotiate Payment Plans if Needed: If cash flow is tight, contact your supplier to arrange a payment plan to manage costs more effectively.
  • Avoid Disconnection Fees: Address payment issues early to prevent service interruptions and costly reconnections.
