Using online tools and resources to conduct your own quick energy audit is a good starting point for small businesses wanting to do more to understand and manage their energy use.
In-house audits also gather information that is useful for conversations with energy service providers and making decisions about what action to take.
Your energy provider can help.
Your energy retailer can help you track your energy use and identify areas for potential improvements.Synergy Business Energy Horizon Power for Business
Synergy and Horizon Power customers can explore the resources and tools that are available, including online audit tools, by logging into your account.
If your energy is supplied by another retailer, we recommend you contact them to discuss how they
can help you track and manage your energy use. Key questions to ask include:
- How are we being charged for our energy use and are we on the best plan for the business?
- Can you help me understand our current energy usage patterns and opportunities to improve our energy performance?
- Could our business benefit from demand management or alternative energy (e.g. utilising
alternative fuels, installing solar panels or heat pumps onsite) opportunities?
