			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For a good while now the cost of living has been on the rise, we used to be able to focus all our resentment for this on one factor such as fuel for our cars, it was an inconvenience but at least it was only ever one facet of our life.  Nowadays it’s not just fuel, its food, insurance, mortgages, credit cards and utilities in our home.</p>
<p>The increase in some areas such as credit card sand loans can be attributed to the current credit crisis with banks being nationalised and collapsing left right and centre but there’s one expense that doesn’t sit right with many customers, gas and electricity.</p>
<p>Utility companies have been able to keeping going great guns despite customers feeling the pinch as their bills rise and with the winter months now upon us we’ll surely be heading for an expensive Christmas on the utility front.  There’s been increase pressure on the big six energy companies to pass on the profits they’ve been raking in over the past few months.</p>
<p>One of the interesting (or should that be infuriating?) points with gas and electricity prices is that they can vary depending on where you live, or specifically what postcode you live in.  Studies have shown that some areas of the country are spending 28% more on utilities than in other areas.</p>
<p>The best prices on gas and electricity are in the south east of England according to the research, prices in Yorkshire and Humberside were seen to be significantly higher and considering that electricity bills are hovering around the £1,100 mark at the moment many of us are keenly observing where the best prices are in an extra effort to bring down the monthly expense of living in this country.</p>
<p>Earlier in the year when the price of oil had risen many energy companies put up prices of gas and electricity by 17% and 22% respectively.  Since the price of oil has dropped the energy companies have not dropped their prices in favour of generating massive profits. </p>
<p>The pressure for energy companies to pass on these profits in the form of cheaper energy bills is reaching boiling point with many customers who have started leaving the main companies in favour of those who are charging even a few pound less per year in an attempt to show the main companies that their profits are unacceptable when many people are struggling with debts and bills at the moment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just about everyone is dealing with rising heat costs. The price of fuel is going sky high. We are seeing the prices rise at the gas pump and in our home fuel costs. Many people are looking to save money with their gas and electricity usage.</p>
<p>Using gas to heat your home has many benefits. Homes that are heated with natural gas feel quite warm and free from any drafts. On an extremely cold day, you can rely on your gas furnace to more than adequately heat your home and keep your family quite comfortable. Gas furnaces use less energy to heat your home in new homes, as these homes are built to be energy efficient. Many families are quite pleased using gas to heat their homes.</p>
<p>When electricity creates heat, it creates just about 100% of the energy from the electricity into heat. Electric heat has a reputation for being more expensive than traditional gas heat or propane. Electric heat is used in hot climates where there are very few days of the year where you do wind up heating your home. Therefore, while it costs more to heat your home, the homeowner does not suffer as a result.</p>
<p>Whichever type of heat source your family selects, you can always save more money with conscious effort. By being proactive and becoming an involved consumer, any homeowner can work to reduce their home heating bills. A gas and electricity comparison only works when one considers which type of these heat sources would be best for your family. There are always different variables with every family that must be considered.</p>
<p>A great way to save money can often be to do some comparison shopping. Those who have never used another energy company may be missing out on great savings. Do some cost comparisons with local gas and electricity companies to see which would be best for your usage needs. Every family has different needs and different parts of the country will require different gas or electricity at different times.</p>
<p>Switching your billing to online billing can also save you money. This will also be much more convenient and save you a great deal of time. Most gas and electricity companies offer online billing. Ask your gas or electricity provider for more details.</p>
<p>A great way to save money can be to simply turn your thermostat down by a few degrees. Just two or three degrees can add up to real dollars in your pocket by the end of the month. Adjust your thermostat slowly so your family will get used to the new setting over time. Most families don&#8217;t even notice a difference of two to three degrees. You will however, notice it when it comes time to pay your heating bill.</p>
<p>Every homeowner should check their home for possible &#8220;holes&#8221; that are letting out heat or air-conditioning. Windows or doors that don&#8217;t close properly, rooms that aren&#8217;t insulated enough and other potential &#8220;holes&#8221; cost you money each and every month. Think first of places in your home that seem drafty, as these could be areas that have &#8220;holes.&#8221;</p>
<p>Help can be available for needy families to help pay their heating bills. The federal government provides assistance to help families that need extra help heating their homes or paying their electric bills. Check with your local office regarding qualifying statistics.</p>
<p>The price to heat homes is a challenge that many people face today. Fortunately, we do have some control over the cost of this expenditure. By doing some research and learning which opportunity is best for you, your family can choose gas or electricity to heat your home efficiently and affordably.</p>
<p>Finally a way to lower utility costs with Cheaper gas and electricity. For more information on how to Switch provider and save money click one of the two links.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s hard to know much energy to conserve when you don’t know how much you are using. For most of us, the only information we get is what is presented in our monthly electricity bills. What if you could get down to the appliance level and figure out how much power in the form of kilowatts is being consumed? Or even better, if you knew what that translated to in terms of actual dollar costs- you would be equipped to make better decisions about how and when to use energy consuming devices.</p>
<p>The answer is in the form of Electricity Monitors. These handy devices allow you to measure how much power is consumed by anything that runs on electricity. Here’s how it works: you insert the plug of the device you want to measure into the electricity monitor. You then plug the electricity monitor into the electrical socket. You can get instant statistics on volt, amps and wattage consumed. There are several models of Electricity Monitors available on the market today with different features and levels of details to measure electricity consumption.</p>
<p>One of the most popular brands available is Kill a Watt meters from P3. Their most basic model, the Kill a Watt P4400 features an LCD display that shows you how much many kilowatt hours are being consumed and lets you cycle through voltage (volt), amperage (amp), wattage (watt), line frequency (Hz), and power factor (VA) for the device being monitored. To go a step further, the KIll A Watt EZ Electricity Monitor P4460 model extrapolates the data so that you can forecast usage by week, month and year.</p>
<p>EED’s Watts Up Meter work in a similar fashion to the P3 Kill a Watt Monitors, in that you plug your device into the electricity monitor to get consumption statistics. Where they differ is EED Watts UP Meters’ ability to let you plug in your utility rates so that you can calculate how much that translates into actual costs. The standard model, the Watts Up 57777 can calculate cumulative consumption and cost of the monitored device if it’s left plugged in for a period of time. The Watts Up Pro 99333 model can store load data for a week or month and can be downloaded to a computer and further analyzed with the Watts Up Pro software. The main difference between the Pro model and the Watts Up Pro/ES 82756 model is that the later can store twice volume of data.</p>
<p>Blue Line’s Power Monitors follows a different mechanism to track your real time power usage. You have two components with this solution: a sensor and a monitor. The sensor attaches to your electrical meter which is located outside your home. Using a wireless data transmission, the sensor communicates with the LCD display which can be located anywhere. It transmits real information on kilowatt usage. By entering your utility rate, this innovative solution can even calculate how much your electricity is costing you. By viewing your real time and cumulative electricity costs , you can make better informed decisions about using energy more efficiently.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. Lighting &amp; Light Bulbs Install low energy light bulbs in rooms you use regularly &#8211; they last up to 15 times longer than a normal light bulb and provide the same lighting for a quarter of the running cost. Turn off the lights when you leave a room for a long period and don&#8217;t use several light bulbs where one will do the job. Teach all family members to turn off lights when leaving a room.</p>
<p>2. TV, Hi-Fi &amp; RadioTurn off the TV or video and hi-fi rather than leaving it on standby. Always use the television&#8217;s on/off switch. Leaving the television on standby wastes energy.</p>
<p>3. Cooking Microwave ovens reduce cooking time by 15% to 20% and save energy. When boiling vegetables, use just enough water to keep them covered. Use a jug kettle that has a water level gauge to ensure you only heat the amount of water you need. Cover saucepans with lids whenever possible to reduce the cooking time.</p>
<p>4. Home Laundry &amp; DishwashersSave electricity by using old-fashioned clothesline for clothes drying. Avoid drying clothes on radiators as it lowers the room temperature, making your boiler work harder. Shut off dishwasher for dry cycle. Let your dishes &#8220;air dry&#8221;. Don&#8217;t use dishwasher or laundry equipment until you have a full load.</p>
<p>5. Fridges &amp; Fridge Freezers Make sure your refrigerator and freezer door seals are airtight. Let hot foods cool before placing them in the refrigerator. Defrost refrigerator regularly &#8211; when about 1/4 inch of ice has formed. Place your refrigerator in the coolest part of the kitchen &#8211; away from cookers, heaters and out of direct sunlight.</p>
<p>6. HeatingTurn off electric water heater when going away for vacations or weekends. Turn your heating down rather than opening a window to reduce the room temperature. Never cover radiators with curtains or furniture as this reduces their efficiency and wastes valuable heat. When going on long holidays, remember to switch your water heating off.</p>
<p>7. Work Tools Use hand tools in your workshop instead of power tools.</p>
<p>8. Appliances When shopping for new appliances, ask about energy-efficient models. Buy appliances on the basis of cost plus operating costs, not price alone. Limit the use of appliances that use over 1,000 watts. Keep appliances clean and in good working order. They&#8217;ll use less energy.</p>
<p>9. Bills Check all energy bills closely. Errors can be costly.</p>
<p>10. Insulation &amp; Air conditioningInsulating your attic will save on operating air conditioning (also heating). If your walls are suitable, cavity wall insulation will substantially reduce heat loss. Keep air conditioning condenser shaded from sun or on north side of house. Turn off air conditioning when no one is home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most households are now feeling the pinch when it comes to their finances, and for many it has become increasingly difficult to make ends meet and cope with monthly payments and outgoings. Households have seen the cost of living rocket recently, not to mention increased petrol prices, higher food prices, and soaring bills. With all of these rises dealing with finances has become increasingly difficult for many households.</p>
<p>Amongst the many costs that have gone up for the average household is the cost of utilities, and many are paying out a fortune for services such as gas, electricity, and even water. Although these are essential services and therefore we cannot do without them in order to try and save money there are steps that many of us may be able to take in terms of reducing the amount that we pay for these services. There is tough competition amongst utility providers, and whilst all of the major energy firms have been increasing costs you may still find that you pay far less with one provider than you do with another.</p>
<p>When it comes to your gas and electricity costs you may be able to save money by using a price comparison site, entering your details, and seeing which providers service your area. You will also be able to see what sorts of prices are available, and could quickly determine whether you are able to get a cheaper service from another provider. Switching is really easy as well, so you will not have to go to any undue hassle. Also, you should bear in mind that you could save money on your gas and electricity in other ways as well for example, you could save money by taking out dual fuel with your provider, and you could also save some money by setting up a direct debit to make payments monthly.</p>
<p>Things are not quite as straightforward when it comes to your water supplier, as you are limited with regards to which supplier you go with. However, you may find that you can save money by switching to a water meter, especially if you live in a smaller property, there are not many people living in the home, or it you are away a lot.</p>
<p>The Internet has made it easier to switch your services and save money, and in addition to switching service such as your gas, electricity, etc. you could also look at saving money by switching other services such as your broadband provider, insurance providers, and even credit card and loan providers, all of which can be checked and arranged using one of the number of price comparison sites online.</p>
<p>It is a good idea to use at least two different price comparison sites, as each site only covers a portion of the market, and therefore you can increase your chances of finding a good deal.</p>
<p>At the moment there are a number of websites that are designed to help you switch utility companies. It is important that you visit a few of them and study your new utility quotes. Be careful to read the small print to make sure the quotes are like for like. <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Electricity is not just an essential component of every household and business, but also a commodity, which in many cases is taken for granted. As Taxpayers in South Africa we all look to the government to provide us with essential services and many times we take the availability of electricity for granted – I guess rightly so as we are paying for it – Right?</p>
<p>At the time of writing this article, I sit and think back of my childhood days when I grew up on a farm without electricity. I still remember the days when my mom cooked on the big black coal stove in the kitchen that also served as a heater during the cold winters. As kids we used to get dressed in the kitchen as we warmed up our clothes on the doors of the coal stove trying to fight the 0 and sometimes sub zero temperatures outside.</p>
<p>We also used an anthracite stove in the living room, which worked overtime in winter. Flipping a switch for lights did not exist. We used paraffin and gas lamps alternated with candles in the bedrooms. Television did not exist and we listened to stories on the radio after dinner as a family with quality conversations and lots of laughs before it was bedtime. Our fridge/freezer also used gas.</p>
<p>Having grown up in the Bushveld, a place of extremes, we did not only face minus 0 temperatures in winter, but had to deal with extreme heat in summer. I clearly remember the days when we, as kids took an afternoon nap on the cement floors in our house, as it was the only cool place (Bushveld summers easily reach temperatures of 40+ degrees in summer). No air conditioners, or fans even as we did not have electricity.</p>
<p>A couple of years later my dad upgraded to gas. I remember some winters where the gas froze in the pipes outside and we had to warm up the pipes so that my mom could cook breakfast on the gas stove.</p>
<p>It was only around 1980 that we first got electricity. All of a sudden we had the luxury of lights, deep freezer and Television.</p>
<p>I think the energy crises in Cape Town and other cities in South Africa came as a big shock to many people as they never experienced having to cope without electricity. Whether we are hot or cold, we just flip a switch and do not suffer any discomfort. One thing that remained from my childhood days is a saving awareness, which I think many modern children and even Adults lack, and this brings me to the following points in this article.</p>
<p>There are some basic things, which we all could do to save electricity:</p>
<p>1. Switch off lights when you leave the room.</p>
<p>2. Use energy saving light bulbs where possible (this will also cut your electricity bill)</p>
<p>3. Turn off the TV and Hi-fi when you are not using it. Leaving it on stand-by uses energy.</p>
<p>4. Rather use the microwave than your stove. Did you know that microwave cooking saves up to 15-20% energy?</p>
<p>5. When cooking on the stove ensure that vegetables are covered in water and cover saucepans with lids to reduce the cooking time.</p>
<p>6. Use a jug kettle with a water level indicator to boil only the amount of water that you need for that cup of coffee / tea. It is a waste of energy to boil a full kettle when you are going to use only part of it.</p>
<p>7. In South Africa we still enjoy fairly warm winters (compared to Europe and America). Hang clothes on the line outside to dry rather than drying everything in the tumble dryer.</p>
<p>8. Switch the Dishwasher off when it comes to the drying cycle and allow dishes to air dry.</p>
<p>9. Wait until you have a full load before using the Dishwasher and or washing machine.</p>
<p>10. Ensure that your fridge/freezer door seals work properly.</p>
<p>11. Cool food down before storing it in the fridge.</p>
<p>12. Defrost your freezer regularly – every time around 0.5 cm ice has been formed inside the freezer. Place your fridge in the coolest part of the kitchen if space allows– not right next to the stove or in direct sunlight.</p>
<p>13. Turn off your geyser when going away for week ends or extended periods of time.</p>
<p>14. Use hand tools rather than power tools in your workshop if and when you could. Nothing wrong with a bit of elbow grease at times especially when there is an energy crises.</p>
<p>15. Appliances – ask the sales person whether or not an appliance utilizes energy-saving. Avoid the use of appliances that use over 1000 Watt energy. It is also a good idea to keep all appliances clean and in good working order as it will ensure that no energy is wasted.</p>
<p>16. Depending on the area where you live and minimum/maximum temperatures, it might be a good idea to insulate your roof.</p>
<p>17. If you have both a shower and bath, rather take a shower as you do not only save water but save the geyser from having to heat up large amounts of water all the time.</p>
<p>These are a few simple points where each of us could make a contribution towards reducing the use of electricity in our daily environment.</p>
<p>In conclusion we should view the availability of electricity as a luxury and not a right. That way when we are all of a sudden left in the dark during power black-outs we could enjoy the silence and close family relationships with quality conversations that dinner at candle light or gas/paraffin lamps bring versus the rushed 2006 lifestyle with dinner in front of television with no conversation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Electricity used to be as simple as flicking a switch. Not any more. The markets have been liberated and the pie has been shared between 6 major suppliers &#8211; the ball is now in the customers&#8217; court. Not only that, global warming is making us think differently about the way we use energy. By partnering with an electricity supplier that understands their needs, small businesses are finding they can help the environment and save money.</p>
<p>Electricity4Business, an electricity supplier dedicated to providing cheap energy to small and mid-sized companies, does not pretend to be a green company, but it does believe in helping businesses conserve energy. &#8220;We are not powered by windmills or solar power &#8211; there simply isn’t enough green energy produced yet. At present, the electricity we provide is made from burning fossil fuels just like everyone else&#8217;s,&#8221; says Graham Paul, Sales &amp; Marketing Director of E4B. &#8220;But by encouraging our customers to cut unnecessary consumption, we can save them money and help protect the environment.&#8221;</p>
<p>So how do electricity costs mount up? Not so long ago, you could walk into a shop or small business and the only equipment you would find was a telephone, a cash register and possibly a computer. Now there are dozens of gadgets and appliances sucking up energy almost everywhere you look &#8211; printers, fax machines, air conditioning units, promotional pieces, laptop and mobile phone chargers, refrigerators, ventilators, modems and routers, coffee machines, power tools, machinery, and the list goes on and on. Many of them are never disconnected from the mains and buzz, whir and generate heat even when not in use. Now is the time to consider their cost to you, and to the environment.</p>
<p>The good news is that there are many ways to conserve energy and not even notice it, except when you look at the bill at the end of the month. And with increasing awareness of the impact our actions have on the environment, staff may no longer dismiss the boss as a penny pinching miser for insisting on turning the lights out after work. All it takes to make a difference is a little awareness and some positive thinking.</p>
<p>The most important way to reduce electricity consumption is to instil a culture of energy saving in your company. Typically, electricity is not so much used inefficiently as wasted, leaked and lost. Solving this problem begins by asking some simple questions about how equipment is used and maintained. Is the photocopier used often enough to justify it being on all day? Is the refrigerator door properly sealed and opened as rarely as possible? Are the computer&#8217;s energy saving settings on? When was the last time that ventilator was cleaned? Why are the windows open if the heating is on?</p>
<p>Then there is the equipment itself. Replacing 38mm (T12) fluorescent tubes with 26mm (T8) tubes uses around 8 per cent less energy, while compact fluorescent lamps use 80 per cent less energy than tungsten GLS lamps. And for office equipment, look for energy saving devices with stand-by features that bear the Energy Star logo. And if your employees are wearing T-shirts in November, remember that each extra degree can put up to 8% on your heating bill.</p>
<p>There are many more ways of saving money on your electricity, whatever your line of business. Electricity 4 Business has compiled all the information you need to get started in a single document available for download absolutely free. The ten-page of Energy Efficiency Advice has everything on how to identify and rectify bad energy habits, where to get advice and how to claim energy related tax benefit and loans.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fancy Cheaper Utility Bills this winter?</p>
<p>Switching gas and electricity providers can be a great way of achieving cheaper utility bills this winter. Typically if you never moved gas and electricity providers you could save about £100 a year, according to watchdog OFGEM. But how do you do it and who are the best providers?</p>
<p>How do I find a cheaper provider and how much could I save?</p>
<p>We have extensively researched the whole gas and electricity market to help you find who provides the best rates for you. It compares all tariffs from all gas and electricity suppliers. Take the 5 minute challenge and get cheaper utility bills at <a href="http://energy.moneyexpert.com/">http://energy.moneyexpert.com/</a></p>
<p>Once you find the best supplier for your needs you can usually apply online. It then usually takes about four weeks for the new supplier to arrange the transfer of services on your behalf.</p>
<p>In theory you can change suppliers as much as you like as long as you bear in mind the time it takes and that some discounts may only occur when you have been with a supplier for a specified period of time.</p>
<p>What tariff options are available?</p>
<p>Energy and gas providers offer a number of ways to pay.</p>
<p>Dual Fuel &#8211; If you still use separate suppliers for your gas and electricty you may be missing out on some substantial savings.</p>
<p>By choosing one supplier for both your gas and electricity you can benefit from having just one bill and a bigger discount by choosing one supplier to provide both your gas and your electricty.</p>
<p>Capped Tariffs &#8211; These guarantee the amount you will pay for your gas and/or electricity, until a specified date. These are perfect for you if you want to protect yourself from price rises.</p>
<p>Online Sign-up &#8211; Some energy providers offer cheaper tariffs for online customers as the suppliers pass on some of the savings they make from the reduced administration fees.</p>
<p>Online Billing &#8211; Much as with the above if the supplier saves money from not having to produce and post out a bill the tariff is usually cheaper.</p>
<p>Direct Debit &#8211; Although direct debits can sometimes be tricky to set up they can save you money in the long run as most energy suppliers offer you a discount if you select this payment method.</p>
<p>Cash/Cheque &#8211; This is often the most expensive way of paying for your gas and electricity due to the administration involved in sending you out the bill and processing your payment.</p>
<p>Economy 7 &#8211; With this tariff a meter is used to split your electricity usage into day and night with different tariffs for each.</p>
<p>Prepayment Meters &#8211; This is where your electricity and gas usage is paid for by putting money onto a meter first.</p>
<p>Green Energy &#8211; Even though the energy you receive is the same, the company that provides is will generate the equivalent used through renewable means.</p>
<p>Making your home more energy efficient</p>
<p>Another way of gaining cheaper utility bills is to make your home more energy-efficient. Below are some top tips to help you do this:</p>
<p>* &#8211; Shower instead of taking a bath as this can use up to a third less energy</p>
<p>* &#8211; Use heat-generating appliances such as washers, dryers or ovens during the cooler hours of the morning or evening as it can help to heat the house.</p>
<p>* &#8211; Wash only full loads of clothes when possible</p>
<p>* &#8211; Start using energy-saving settings on refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, and tumble dryers.</p>
<p>* &#8211; Turning your thermostat down by 1ºC could cut your heating bills by up to 10 per cent and save you around £40 per year.</p>
<p>* &#8211; Is your water too hot? Your cylinder thermostat shouldn&#8217;t need to be set higher than 60ºC/140ºF.</p>
<p>* &#8211; Close your curtains at dusk to stop heat escaping through the windows.</p>
<p>* &#8211; Always turn off the lights when you leave a room.</p>
<p>* &#8211; Don&#8217;t leave appliances on standby and remember not to leave appliances on charge unnecessarily.</p>
<p>* &#8211; Replace your light bulbs with energy saving recommended ones: just one can reduce your lighting costs by up to £100 over the lifetime of the bulb &#8211; and they last up to 12 times longer than ordinary light bulbs.</p>
<p>What Next?</p>
<p>We have extensively researched the whole gas and electricity market to help you find who provides the best rates for you. We compare ALL tariffs from ALL gas and electricity suppliers.</p>
<p>This means in less than 5 minutes we can help you find the best supplier for your energy needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Saving more money on your business’s electricity is possible by switching to an alternative electricity supplier and avoiding high renewal prices whilst improving your energy efficiency.</p>
<p>The laws of supply and demand in traditional economics would generally dictate that a steep rise in price of a product or commodity would lead to a reduction in demand. However, when that commodity is a necessity and is not easily substitutable, the drop in demand will be much less marked and in certain cases demand may remain stable.</p>
<p>Such is the case in the retail electricity supply market to SMEs where prices have risen by around 50% over the last two years. A major contributing factor is the increased need for companies to become energy efficient. Due to the Climate Change Levy, there has been an imposed 15% increase in average energy bills. Electricity rates are levied before VAT at a standard rate based on usage. Many businesses simply accept the price rise as a fact of life soldiering on with yet another burden to add to the increases in rates, rents and insurance, the bulk of which are non-recoverable from price increases indexed to inflation.</p>
<p>But there is another way to recoup some of these crippling losses.</p>
<p>Shopping around for a cheaper electricity supplier will typically save a business around 20% from their existing supplier. As an added value, these companies can show businesses the best ways to conserve energy by avoiding wastage – this alone can help reduce the annual bill by as much as 15%. Suddenly, the maths begin to stack-up.</p>
<p>For example, a business that was paying an annual rate of £1000 for its electricity two years ago is now paying £1500. By switching to a cheaper supplier, the price can be reduced to £1200. By becoming more energy efficient and using 15% less electricity that now changes to £1020. Had the original electricity price simply risen by the inflation rate of 3% then the price now would have been just over £1060 which means that the business is actually paying less in real terms than it was two years ago.</p>
<p>So instead of paying 50% more for its annual electricity bill, a business may indeed be paying less, whilst helping the environment in reducing its carbon footprint; as well as adding a social ‘green image’.</p>
<p>Furthermore, if most of its competitors are being hit by these unprecedented rises then that business will have a significant competitive advantage and may indeed improve its revenue, turning a negative situation into a very positive one for all concerned.</p>
<p>During the period of lower priced energy, energy was fairly low in the rankings amongst the list of main business costs. However, the latest government figures suggest that energy now accounts for nearly 10% of the average small firm’s annual overheads. In times such as now, when many businesses need to button down the hatch, cost control becomes the main focus and opportunities to save such significant amounts must be seized.</p>
<p>And there appears to be plenty of scope for these savings since government reports estimate that £12 billion of energy is wasted in the UK every year.</p>
<p>Graham Paul, E4B’s Sales and Marketing Director encourages businesses to ‘Save, save, save.’ ‘Save on the tariff by switching supplier, save by energy efficiency and save the environment’.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>FACT: It is estimated that electricity for small businesses like yours can account for nearly 10% of your annual overheads</p>
<p>FACT: £12 billion of energy is wasted every year in the UK</p>
<p>But, if your business becomes energy efficient – you could reduce your bill by as much as 15% to counter the effects of recent price hikes by your electricity supplier and also combat energy wastage.</p>
<p>Just follow these simple steps to kick-start your energy efficiency plan, there are wide range of free online guides available on the web through some of the leading business electricity suppliers.</p>
<p>1. Benefit from the same level of performance from lower usage – saving you money as well as our climate</p>
<p>2. Make it easy – break your energy management into key areas: policy, planning and action, monitoring and control and measuring success</p>
<p>3. Easy to follow policy &#8211; set a positive culture within the workplace, supporting good business practice and the environment too</p>
<p>4. Set out achievable objectives: target clear goals and outline responsibilities for saving energy</p>
<p>5. Monitor how electricity is used in your workplace to control wastage. Do a walk-around energy survey, then monitor consumption on an ongoing basis.</p>
<p>Of late, there has been much written relating to the imperfections of the energy markets and the salaries of the industry&#8217;s notorious ‘fat cats’ in particular. Increasingly, the public has also been made aware of the advantages of switching suppliers. Nonetheless, the ‘big six’ electricity companies continue to dominate the market with their huge marketing budgets and cleverly worded contracts.</p>
<p>In a market dominated by businesses which pull the wool over their customers&#8217; eyes, E4B are driven with the need to want to build a reputation for providing reliable information, expert advice and the highest possible level of service. The online newsfeed is only part of that – educating customers and SME businesses on the potential pitfalls of the industry is the central objective of E4B.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, it is up to businesses to choose the best electricity provider for them. But all too often, the perception is that switching is too complicated. It is up to companies like E4B to raise awareness of the imperfections of the market and make switching as simple and painless as possible. The sad fact is that thousands of British businesses are pay over half a billion pounds too many for their electricity every year &#8211; it is E4B’s mission to change that.</p>
<p>Save more money today by switching to champion SME supplier</p>
<p>We know that finding time to shop around for cheaper electricity is no easy feat. By spending as little as 10 minutes to talk to an electricity supplier, with the savings made by switching to another company, you could save your business much more than you realize. It is best to find suppliers whose main focus is on businesses like yours, They should be able to offer you a price for your electricity to meet your bottom line which is essential.</p>
<p>Save time shopping around, save on your tariff by switching; and save on your bill by being energy efficient.</p>
