Businesses and consumers are paying more for their gas and electricity depending on where in the country they live, according to a new study.

Research from a domestic and commercial gas comparison website has found that some of the energy providers are charging gas users in certain areas of the country considerably more than in other regions.

The biggest price differences came from E.ON; customers in Brighton are paying an average of £984 a year whereas someone using the same amount of gas and on the same tariff in London would pay £1,164 – £180 more a year.

On average, domestic and commercial gas customers in Cardiff are paying the most for their energy whereas being located in Brighton, Leeds or Edinburgh will see you have lower energy costs.

These discrepancies are due to a marketing practice used by the big name energy companies who will offer lower prices in regions where they have less of a market share and higher prices in the areas where they are most successful. This was used for most standard tariffs until the regulator Ofgem stopped it, but the energy providers are still allowed to do this for their online prices.

With business gas prices now costing more than ever before it is vital that companies ensure they are on the cheapest tariff for their requirements. Comparing energy prices can be very time-consuming and if you’ve got a business to run you won’t have the time to enter your details on numerous sites.

This is where Business Gas can help you. You simply enter your details, the website searches and compares a number of different tariffs and you can then choose which saves you the most money! It’s quick and easy, so you can don’t have to spend large amounts of your valuable time to reduce your energy prices.

Summer looks far gone now with chilly weather conditions hitting the UK. A cold weather front is drawing in which means even more bad news for businesses who are already struggling to deal with rising energy bills.

Business gas suppliers across Britain are increasing their prices with many tariffs soaring by as much as 30%. This upsurge in costs comes at a time when many corporations are stressed with finances during a difficult economy, with the strain of keeping monies afloat.

With temperatures expected to be a staggering low, firms will be forced to put on their heating earlier to keep the staff warm during such icy months; so now is the best time to compare commercial gas prices to get the best deal in preparation for the winter.

The price of energy for businesses keeps increasing as more of the Big Six providers of gas and electricity announce price rises so it is more important than ever for companies to ensure that they’re on the best tariff for their requirements.

There are many factors which affect business gas prices so it is worth looking around to see what the different suppliers offer as each business gas provider offers a number of different tariffs.

However, getting quotes from gas suppliers can take a considerable amount of time so with this in mind, Business Gas offer an easy to use price comparison service showing you the suppliers which provide the best tariffs and offers for you.

The team behind Business Gas have negotiated special prices and deals with the various companies so they can offer prices lower than if you went directly to the supplier.  As well as the Big Six energy suppliers, Business Gas offer information on packages offered by smaller providers so you can be sure you’re getting a wide selection of prices to allow you to make an informed decision.

If your company gas supply is getting too expensive, look to Business Gas for help in finding the best tariff for your needs.
