Top 5 Solutions to Take Control and Save on Your Energy Costs and Consumption
Utility Trade Group offer an array of energy efficiency solutions, and combined with our procurement expertise, ensure that we offer a full turnkey approach to energy efficiency.
Getting the Right Contract
It is important you are only paying for you what you need and what you use.
Our expertise in the market and our supplier partnerships, enable us to offer you energy contracts that are more suitable and bespoke to you.
Change Your Lighting
Lighting accounts for 20 per cent of all the energy consumption in the UK, which means it also accounts for a significant chunk of energy bills.
LED lighting can be more attractive, energy efficient, cost-effective and durable than existing methods.
Consuming less than 80 per cent of the electricity of traditional incandescent bulbs, LED lights can shave pounds off electricity bills.
Many of us already have them in the home, but the potential use for businesses is much greater – along with the savings.
Long-Term Electricity Efficient Solutions
Depending on whether you own the building you run your business from or rent it, it may be worth considering investing in solar panels.
Although you will need to make an initial capital investment, it will save you a lot of money over time. The use of solar panels will significantly reduce your electricity bills, and they have very low maintenance costs.
Using solar panels also helps the environment as it is a truly renewable source of energy, decreasing the need for new power plants which cause and create pollution.
Infrared Heating
Infrared heating technology really is amazing. Unlike traditional radiators, it works through radiant heat rather than convection, and therefore doesn’t waste energy heating air.
When investing in infrared, you could overhaul your heating system, wiring panels into the electricity circuit and controlling them via a smart heating system.
This allows for optimal savings, as you have total control and can also monitor your energy usage. Alternatively, you can just plug panels in to the mains wherever you want them for a boost of heat.
Solar with Battery Storage
Energy storage plays an important role in balancing power supply and demand, and is key to tackling the intermittency issues of renewable energy.
Pairing a storage system with a renewable energy source ensures a smooth and steady power supply, even when weather conditions are not optimal for energy generation.
Batteries are the most common storage devices used in renewable energy system.
It is projected that storage will represent a core component of all new energy technologies moving into the future, as both utility-scale and domestic energy storage solutions become more price competitive, eroding the advantages of traditional energy sources.
