Making small changes to improve energy efficiency can make a big difference. Check out our 'Saving Energy' section or speak with one of our Energy Consultants for tailored advice. ### Why should I use a broker? We use our buying power to negotiate competitive rates with suppliers. By working with us, you save time and gain access to deals you might not find on your own, while we handle supplier switching and provide ongoing utility management support. ### How do Nationwide Energy Consultants earn money? We receive a commission from suppliers, which is built into the unit rate. Our commission is consistent across suppliers, ensuring that the choice of supplier is based on what's best for you, not us. ### What do I need to do to start? All we need is for you to sign a few documents authorising us to act on your behalf. You can cancel at any time by letting us know in writing. ### Which suppliers do you work with? We work with a variety of suppliers, including both well-known names and smaller, emerging companies. We only recommend suppliers that offer competitive pricing and reliable service. ### Do you offer services outside of energy management? Yes, Nationwide Energy also offers EPOS & NowTel systems, merchant services (card payments and terminals), broadband & telecoms, and SME business insurance to help businesses manage all of their utilities and operations under one roof. ### What is energy bill validation, and why is it important? Energy bill validation ensures that you're only paying for what you've used, catching any discrepancies or errors on your bills. This service can help identify and correct overcharges, saving your business money. ## Guides ### How to Switch Business Energy Supplier Switching business energy takes 2-6 weeks. Start comparing rates 3-6 months before your contract end date. Fixed-rate contracts of 1-2 years are recommended for most hospitality businesses. Out-of-contract rates are typically 30-50% more expensive than negotiated deals. ### How Business Energy Contracts Work Business energy contracts lock in your electricity and gas rates for a fixed period (1-3 years). Fixed-rate contracts protect against wholesale market increases. Key components: unit rate (p/kWh), standing charge (p/day), Climate Change Levy, and network charges. Auto-rollover clauses can lock you into expensive rates if not managed. ## Contact Information For a free energy review or to get a quote: - **Phone:** 024 7632 8995 - **Email:** info@nationwide-energy.co.uk - **Website:** https://nationwide-energy.co.uk/contact-us - **Address:** Angos House, 10 Hammond Close, Attleborough Fields Industrial Estate, Nuneaton, CV11 6RY
