Systems to manage energy can be fit & forget but there are often a host of benefits of ongoing monitoring, tweaking the system for the best results. Once a system is installed the power is in the hands of the end-user but leaning on industry experts advice could see more savings

Looking at your energy doesn't just mean looking at your current contract. There are potential savings from previous spend, current spend and future projects. Gary Sams talks us through one example of how reclaiming mis-sold energy was only the start.

Are high energy prices here to stay? We've seen some staggering highs over the past few years but prices have come down. Is this really the new norm? If it is, the energy reduction projects that may have been on the back burner could now be front mind.

A little while back we sat down with Luke Cronshaw from Enviroheat to talk all things energy but we also wanted to learn more about Enviroheat. When we tell you they have a unique origin story, we aren't exaggerating.
