We record your energy contract details onto our system, alerting us at the appropriate time. Your termination and renewal dates for gas and electricity are all documented. This way, we are able to notify you ahead of your renewal date to get the ball rolling once again, thereby preventing your contract from rolling onto a higher rate tariff.
When moving into a new property, obtaining the correct supplier information can often be time-consuming and involve telephone calls to various parties. At Commercial Utility Consultants, we can undertake this for you, finding who the supplier is (if unknown), then transferring the account into your company’s name.

Generally, 90 days prior to your contract end date, you will receive a renewal letter from your supplier along with their proposed new rates. You will have 30 days in which you need to confirm this with them, if you don’t, they will roll you onto the tariff anyway. To prevent this from occurring, we will send off a Letter of Termination for you, thereby preventing this from happening. You may still use the same supplier after this period; it simply stops them from forcing you into their proposed rates.
