Chamber Utilities

 

Make impressive savings on your gas, electricity, water, lubricants, petrol, diesel and fuel oil with Chamber Energy. An exclusive cost cutting service for ALL companies across Cumbria.

 

Chamber Utilities™ is delivered by Utility Auditing Limited – part of sustainable power company ENER.G plc – which provides professional end-to-end energy management solutions for businesses worldwide.

 

THE SCHEME

 

Chamber members are eligible for a free annual utilities assessment.  This gives your organisation all the professional support needed to stem energy wastage and purchase gas and electricity at the most competitive prices.  We can also help you to reduce your water bill and manage your wastewater.  You can also benefit from a comprehensive range of services to meet all your energy management needs.

 

BENEFITS

 

Energy procurement

Use Chamber Utilities™ group purchasing power and expertise to make impressive savings.  Arrange flexible or fixed contracts with a customer support team on hand to guide you and deal with suppliers on your behalf.

 

Utilities audit

Paying for energy you don’t use?  As part of the procurement service Chamber Utilities™ look for incorrect charging from suppliers, check your KVA (power supply) and Maximum Demand (highest level of consumption).  Your Power Factor will also be analysed.

 

Energy efficiency surveys

Reduce your bills and carbon emissions.  Free Carbon Trust surveys are available to qualifying sites – typically identifying opportunities to reduce consumption by 10 to 30%.  Other surveys for heating, lighting, CHP and new build advice are also available.

 

Water surveys

Flush out spiralling costs.  Wasting water through inefficiency could be costing you.  A water survey will audit your consumption, analyse your bills, provide recommendations and seek compensation, where applicable.

 

Complying with new regulations

Chamber Utilities™ can help you comply with The European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, the new Carbon Reduction Commitment and other legislation.

 

Energy efficient lighting system

Save up to 50%.  An innovative lighting system cuts electricity bills and reduces carbon emissions by up to 50%.

 

Bureau service

Chamber Utilities™ will keep an eye on your utility bills.  Analysts will validate your bills to ensure compliance with the contract and provide a range of reporting modules.

 

Smart metering and data reporting

No more estimated bills.  Straight to your laptop or PC, easy to understand information on the state of your gas, electricity and water supply.

 

Controlling your heating/cooling

Working at the right temperature.  Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) are controlled remotely and provide full data to your PC, using unique Virtual Energy Manager software.  Both capital purchase and lease options are available, but you will quickly see the pay back.

 

Combined heat and power (CHP)

Create your own electricity.  CHP could cut your electricity bills by a third and slash your carbon emissions by 20%.  You can make a capital purchase or choose to lease with systems operating on many types of fuels, including biofuels.

 

Energy training

Motivated staff means effective energy savings.  Training days will educate and motivate your employees to become energy champions.  You could also qualify for free training days from the Carbon Trust.

 

Managing your energy

Let somebody else do it!  Making the right decisions on energy solutions, power availability, energy saving products, monitoring, benchmarking, bill validation and motivating staff are all part of the Total Energy Management Service.
