Business energy efficiency.

Cutting energy waste without the headache
Nobody wants to waste energy, but figuring out how to cut it down isn’t always easy. It’s not just about switching things off, it’s about knowing where the real waste is hiding. Some fixes barely make a dent, while others can cut costs straight away. The challenge is knowing which is which.
Your lighting might be using more power than it should. Your equipment could be running on higher voltage than necessary. Or maybe you're paying for energy that’s going nowhere. We help you work out what’s worth fixing and what’s not, so you’re not wasting time or money on changes that won’t make a difference.
And we don’t just hand you a list of recommendations and leave you to figure it out. We’re on hand to support you through every stage, whether that’s answering questions, arranging installations, or checking that the changes you’ve made are actually working. That’s probably why so many businesses rate us five stars on Trustpilot.

FAQs
Your energy efficiency questions answered
-
What is energy efficiency, and why should my business care?
Energy efficiency means getting the same results while using less energy. It cuts costs, reduces waste, and helps businesses meet sustainability goals. It can also extend the life of your equipment and keep you in line with regulations like SECR (Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting).
-
What is voltage optimisation, and does my business need it?
Most UK businesses get more voltage than they actually need. That extra power is wasted and can wear down equipment faster. Voltage optimisation fixes this by making sure you only use what’s necessary, lowering costs without affecting how things run.
-
Will switching to LED lighting actually save my business money?
Yes. LED lighting uses up to 80% less energy than traditional bulbs, and because LEDs last much longer, you’ll also save on replacements and maintenance. Plus, they give off better-quality light, making workspaces brighter and more comfortable.
-
What does an energy management system (EMS) do?
An EMS tracks your energy use in real time, showing where power is being wasted. It can help you automate controls, set efficiency targets, and make changes that cut unnecessary energy use, without affecting how your business runs.
-
What are Meter Operator (MOP) and Data Collector (DC) services, and do I need them?
If your business has a half-hourly electricity meter, you’re legally required to have a Meter Operator (MOP) contract. The MOP makes sure your meter is working properly. The Data Collector (DC) gathers usage data so your bills are accurate.
-
How do I know if my business needs an energy audit?
If your bills are creeping up, equipment isn’t running as efficiently as it used to, or you want to hit sustainability targets, an energy audit is a good idea. It identifies wasted energy and gives you practical ways to cut costs and improve efficiency.
-
Can I spread the cost of energy efficiency upgrades?
Yes. There are financing options that let businesses pay for things like LED lighting, voltage optimisation, or energy management systems over time so you don’t have to cover everything upfront.
-
What are the biggest energy wasters in UK businesses?
A lot of energy gets wasted on inefficient lighting, outdated equipment, heating and cooling losses, and leaving things on standby. Poor voltage regulation and not monitoring energy use in real time can also be a problem. An energy audit can show you exactly where your business is losing money.
-
How long will it take to see a return on investment (ROI) for energy efficiency upgrades?
It depends on what you install. LED lighting often pays for itself within 12–24 months. Voltage optimisation usually takes around 2–3 years. If you want to see what would save your business the most, an energy audit can help you prioritise the right changes.
