Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions list

Can a business choose their water supplier?

Yes — since deregulation in England, businesses can switch water retailers to access better pricing or service. Flame Energy compares suppliers on your behalf to help you choose the right one for your needs.

Do small businesses pay water rates?

Yes, small businesses pay water charges either through metered usage or a rateable value-based charge. Flame Energy can help determine whether your billing method is appropriate and identify savings through supplier switching or usage analysis.

Can my business water be cut off?

Water suppliers can disconnect non-domestic customers for non-payment, though they must follow proper procedures. Flame Energy can support you in managing accounts and contracts to avoid disconnection risks and maintain service continuity.

Is business water cheaper than domestic?

Business water rates can be cheaper or more expensive than domestic rates, depending on your region, contract terms, and usage. Flame Energy helps businesses secure the most competitive commercial water rates based on your consumption profile.

What happens if a business can’t pay water bills?

The supplier will try and help if you make them aware. They will try and put payment plans in place to support your business. You must speak to them to avoid further action or even disconnection.

How long should I sign a water contract for?

This differs depending on sites and markets, along with how long you are looking to be in the building. Different situations will mean different durations will suit your business.

How much can I save on my water rates with a new contract?

If you keep shopping around and reviewing your contracts regularly you can save costs on your water contracts. If you leave the contracts and not do anything with them you will pay more. We can regularly review contracts for you.
