Energy saving FAQs

• What if I don’t have a copy of my most recent energy bill?

  We will still be able to give energy quotes providing you can give us an estimate of your monthly bill and tell us who your current provider is. Having a copy of your bill just means that we can provide more accurate quotes. If you would rather wait to know your exact monthly amount, you could have a look at your bank statement, contact your energy provider for a copy of your bill, or if you have an online account, log in to download a recent copy.

• Who is the best energy provider for businesses?

  The energy market was once dominated by what’s commonly referred to as the ‘big six’ energy providers: British Gas, npower, Scottish Power, EDF, E-On and SSE. However, with the rise in independent providers, consumers now have more options to choose from. Here at Love Energy Savings, we work with 26 energy suppliers to give our customers access to the most comprehensive range of energy deals.

• How do I change my business energy provider?

  If you are on a fixed rate tariff, you will normally be locked into that contract for an agreed length of time, this could be up to 5 years.

If you are on a variable rate tariff, you can normally switch to a different tariff or provider once you have given your current provider 30 days’ notice. You can find out what deals are available to you by using our comparison engine. This will give you access to a wide range of deals and tariffs from over 14 energy providers.
