Changing your water supplier is one of the best ways to save money on your water bills, allowing you to take advantage of the best rates and all the latest deals entering the market, while enjoying better levels of customer service and working alongside a retailer that has specific industry knowledge of your particular industry and business niche.
It’s possible to make significant savings on your water bills by switching, which is no doubt why businesses are increasingly making the move to a new retailer. Did you know you could potentially save up to 30 per cent on your bills by switching? It’s certainly worth investigating for that fact alone!
You may also find that you may be eligible for historical refunds if you’ve been overcharged by your supplier in the past, something that can be revealed as part of the switching process.
Businesses often come to us concerned that the switching process is complicated and lengthy – but what if we told you that you could sign up with a new supplier and be ready to roll in as little as four weeks’ time? Another reason to seriously consider switching today.
Can I switch water supplier?
Before you can find a new water retailer, you need to determine whether you’re eligible to switch or not. In order to do so, you need to be a non-domestic customer, running a business of some kind, a public sector organisation or charity.
Your choice of water retailer will assess your eligibility in full but there are some checks you can carry out yourself to see if it’s possible for you. Have a read of Ofwat’s eligibility guide, as this can help point you in the right direction.
How to switch water supplier
You may find it useful to gain a deeper understanding of your water usage and consumption habits as a business, as well as finding out the specific details about your current deal before you switch.
Once you know more about the water footprint of your business, you can start doing some research into the various retailers out there to see which would be a good choice for you.
It can be a little confusing, however, so if you’re struggling with the process or are finding the amount of choice overwhelming, get in touch with the Switch Supplier team today to see how we can help.
