Commercial laundries are energy and water intensive operations, with electricity, gas and water required across washing, drying, finishing and other production processes. Flame Energy can help laundries manage utility contracts, understand consumption and develop a procurement approach that reflects the demands of a high volume operation.
Energy and water efficiency are major priorities for the commercial laundry sector. The Textile Services Association reports that the industry reduced primary energy used per kilogram processed by 31% and water use per kilogram by 60% between 2012 and 2023. We can help laundries consider renewable electricity, commercial solar and improved utility visibility alongside their existing procurement arrangements.
Energy can represent a significant operating cost for commercial laundries, particularly where gas or other fuels are required to provide process heat alongside substantial electricity demand. We can review your electricity and gas requirements, compare suitable products from suppliers on our panel and help develop a procurement approach aligned with your preferred level of budget certainty.
We can also support commercial water arrangements, helping bring electricity, gas and water into a more coordinated utility management approach.
Flame Energy provides ongoing support beyond procurement. We can help coordinate electricity, gas and water suppliers, contracts, meters and utility queries throughout the contract period. Where suitable consumption data is available, we can also help improve visibility of usage and identify unusual changes that may warrant further investigation.
