Common questions about our services
We help commercial organisations reduce energy costs, meet compliance requirements, and achieve sustainability goals.
Our services include energy assessments, monitoring (Enerlyse), project delivery, and funding solutions (PowerPacks).
We work with commercial buildings including offices, retail, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, hotels, restaurants, and schools.
We do not work with domestic properties.
Every building is different, which is why we always start with a proper assessment before making any claims. Savings depend on your current energy use, building type, how it is operated, and what improvements are made.
What we can tell you is that we are 100% independent - our recommendations are based solely on what is right for your organisation, not what we are incentivised to sell.
Yes. We offer a complimentary initial energy review to help identify potential savings opportunities. There is no obligation to proceed.
PowerPacks Funding
How our funding solutions work
PowerPacks removes the barrier of upfront capital. Instead of paying for equipment outright, you spread the cost over manageable monthly payments.
We offer two main options:
- Hire Purchase: You own the equipment at the end of the term. Spread costs over 2-7 years with fixed monthly payments.
- Power Purchase Agreement (PPA): For larger solar projects only. Pay per kWh of energy generated rather than for the equipment itself.
Both options mean no large upfront investment - your energy savings often cover the monthly payments.
Hire Purchase lets you spread the cost of energy equipment over 2-7 years with fixed monthly payments.
Key benefits:
- No upfront costs
- Fixed payments - not affected by interest rate rises
- You own the equipment at the end
- May be able to claim interest and depreciation as tax-deductible expenses
Ideal for smaller projects like LED lighting, HVAC upgrades, and smaller solar installations.
A PPA is a long-term agreement where a third party owns and maintains a solar system on your premises. You simply buy the power it generates at an agreed rate.
Key benefits:
- No upfront costs or ownership responsibility
- Lower electricity rate than the grid
- Maintenance and repairs included
- Upgrades as technology improves
Best suited for larger businesses with high daytime energy use and systems typically 70kW or larger.
All funding applications are subject to credit checks and approval criteria.
Approval depends on individual circumstances and is at the discretion of the lender. We work with trusted funding partners to find the best solution for your situation.
