Compare market using Energy4

Compare market is the service Energy4 provides. Many businesses have used Energy4 services to compare the market and obtain quotes from the energy market.

We at Energy4 started in 2013 to disrupt and challenge the overpriced, outdated practices of the utility industry.

Energy4 Compare

The difference between Energy4 and other comparison sites are;

– Our business operates as a Real Third-Party-Intermediary (TPI)

– Energy4 provides independent, impartial non-biased led utility advice, keeping businesses in business

– Providing clear information so that you can go on to purchase a product that meets your business needs

– We provide business customers with a quote from ALL suppliers

– At Energy4 will never inflate your Electricity and Gas annual consumption to acquire quotes. This practice is performed by others, costing the Client in claw-back payments due to incorrect consumption signed into the contract.

– Not directly working for fixed suppliers due to commercial contract agreements, this is counter to the TPI agreement, this does not benefit businesses, commerce, and trade

– The utility companies lobbied Ofgem to remove the requirement of being impartial. From May 2018, Domestic Comparison Websites are no longer required to show Whole of Market (WoM), even when they advertise to be an open comparison website.. Energy4 objected to this.

What products and services does Energy4 provide?

At Energy4, we know that managing your utilities isn’t something you want to spend ages on, so let us do the hard work for you. Market reviews, new quotes, and when renewal dates for your Utilities.

How does Energy4 make money?

Here at Energy4 we make money when we find our business customers a new deal on their utilities.

Each time someone switches their gas or electricity tariff, having found their new supplier through us, we get paid a fee.

The fee Energy4 receives does not affect the way we rank the products. We always provide quotes in order of the lowest price to the highest price for business owners.

Who does Energy4 work with?

We at Energy4 work with most of the UK’s top providers to find you great deals. At Energy4, quotes don’t include every single provider in the market. Specific utility providers opt out of providing prices for these comparison sites, primarily down to not meeting the strict partner criteria we use to protect our business customers.

For electricity and gas tariff comparison, Energy4 has agreements with the majority of energy suppliers. Energy4 gives business customers the option to see a more comprehensive view of the market.

Some utility suppliers choose, for example, not to make their tariffs available through comparison sites. Therefore these are not made public.

Regularly checking online reviews of suppliers, Ofgem, and the News, Energy4 keeps aware of all suppliers, especially if they are not providing the best services. If you wish to check the utility provider you have business with, please contact Ofgem. 

 

Can I trust the results Energy4 provides?
