Why compare...
business gas prices?
When it comes to business gas, loyalty doesn’t always pay - so it rarely makes sense to stick with the same business gas supplier. Here are three good reasons why thousands of businesses compare business gas prices and switch suppliers with Bionic:
- No out-of-contract rates - If your business gas bill suddenly costs you more, you might be paying out-of-contract rates. Switching sooner rather than later means you could shave money off your monthly gas bill. And if you really don’t want to switch, we might be able to do some of the heavy lifting and negotiate with your current supplier.
- Pay less for longer - We don’t just look at price - we consider what’s best for your business. Sometimes locking in a lower rate for a longer term is the best option, giving you peace of mind for several years in an unpredictable market.
- Trusted suppliers – No one wants the hassle of their gas supplier going bust. We work with a panel of trusted suppliers who offer a reliable service along with great rates. We’ll guide you through the switch so you can put more time into running your business.

What business gas contract is best for you?
When you compare business gas, you'll notice several different tariff types. Bionic’s tech-enabled experts will discuss your options to ensure you get the right deal. Below are the main types of gas tariffs on offer to SMEs.
Fixed rate contracts
Unit rates and standing charges are fixed for the length of your contract.
Variable rate
With a variable-rate contract, your unit rate and standign charge can change, depending on market conditions.
Time of use tariff
A time of use tariff charges less for energy usage during certain hours.
Deemed rates
Your supplier's default rates if you don’t arrange a fixed contract before moving into new premises. Avoid.
Out-of-contract rates
Suppliers put you on out-of-contract rates if you don't sort a new contract to start when your current one ends. Avoid.

Who supplies my business gas?
It can be easy to lose track of who supplies your business gas, especially if you're on a three-year fix and don't need to think about things until your contract is up for renewal.
Checking your latest bill or emails is the simplest way to find out who your supplier is, or you can call the Meter Number Helpline on 0870 6081524 or use the Find My Supplier website. If using either of these services, you'll need to have your meter point reference number (MPRN) to hand. Learn more in our guide to MPAN and MPRN numbers.
If you've switched with Bionic, you can give us a call and we'll let you know who your current supplier is and compare quotes for your next contract if the time is right. At Bionic, we work with a panel of business gas suppliers, including:

If you can't find a recent gas bill, you can find out who your supplier is at the Meter Point Administration Service online search tool. Simply enter your address, and it should let you know who your current gas supplier is.
You can also call the meter number helpline on 0870 608 1524. Give them your postcode and the first line of your address, and they'll tell you who your gas supplier is. This nationwide helpline costs 7p per minute.
If your business uses more than 65,000 kWh of gas a year, suppliers will classify you as a large business and handle your supply differently. To find out more, check out our guide to large business energy and give us a call on 0800 077 4064.
How much gas do businesses use in a year?
If your gas bills are too high, an overpriced tariff might not be the only reason - you might simply be using too much. This could be down to bad habits - such as leaving the heating on too high - or the fact that your business premises aren't as energy efficient as they should be.
To give you a rough idea of how much gas you should be using, here are the average annual gas consumption figures SMEs:
- A microbusiness is one that has less than 10 employees and an annual turnover under €2 million. Microbusinesses use an average of 10,000 kWh of gas a year. Find out more in our guide to micro businesses energy.
- A small business has less than 50 employees and an annual turnover under €10 million. Small businesses use an average of 25,000 kWh of gas a year. Find out more in our guide to UK small businesses.
- A medium-sized business has less than 250 employees and an annual turnover under €50 million. Medium-sized businesses use an average of 45,000 kWh of gas a year.
For more information, check out our guide to average business energy consumption. If you use more than the above, see our guide to industrial, high-consumption, and large business energy.
How are business gas bills calculated?
When working out the cost of your business gas bills, there are two main things to look out for:
Unit rate
Measured in kilowatt hours (kWh), this is the amount you pay for each unit of gas your business uses. If you're on a fixed tariff, this is the bit that stays the same for the length of your contract.
Standing charge
This is a daily amount that is charged regardless of whether or not you use any gas. It covers the cost of managing your service and delivering gas to your premises.
