Project Management
Utilities are often overlooked when expanding an existing commercial property or when buying & selling. Often during downgrades, your larger meter will have excess capacity and as a result will be needlessly expensive. On upgrades, it is essential to ensure you have an adequately sized meter solution in place for an un-interrupted supply.
New Builds
Our in-depth professional knowledge on metering allows us to establish an optimum capacity
connection for your new site. Your appointed representative at Commercial Utility Brokers ltd will
negotiate direct with your chosen supplier to ensure installations are carried out smoothly, and that
you are billed on an appropriate tariff to suit your business operations.
Upgrades & Downgrades
Often, when energy-hungry organisations downgrade, they fail to recognise the need to
downgrade their maximum-demand meter. Maximum demand meters are expensive by nature.
Failure to establish a meter solution appropriate to the size of your site can be costly.
When expanding, it is imperative to select an appropriate metering capacity to avoid a suspended supply. We can advise on the best course of action for every circumstance.
Tariff Selection
The gas and electricity meters at your new premises may not be being billed on a tariff structure that suits your operational requirements. For instance, a base rate meter (I.e. one unit charge for all times of day) may not suit a restaurant premises open on the evenings. Economy 7 day & night meters provide discounted rates at night- ideally suited to an organisation whose peak hours of operation are less conventional. Your account manager can provide expert advice on the most cost-effective tariff for your business, and will then manage, through our contacts at suppliers, any meter profile changes on your behalf .
Contractual Implications
Your account manager at Commercial Utility Brokers ltd will have a thorough understanding of the terms & conditions of every supplier agreement. As a result, we will be able to advise on a range of possible actions to take relating to your contractual obligations and moving premises. We can negotiate transfers of your contracted rates, or can execute any changes of tenancy on your behalf.
