Business Energy For Churches & Places of Worship

Churches and places of worship face unique energy challenges — large, often poorly insulated buildings used intermittently, with tight budgets and limited staff time to manage utility contracts. We make it simple.

Energy Costs Are a Real Challenge For Places of Worship

Churches, mosques, temples, synagogues and other places of worship often occupy large, historic buildings that are expensive to heat and light. Energy costs can represent a significant proportion of a congregation's running costs — money that could otherwise go towards community work and mission.

Many places of worship are on expensive out-of-contract rates simply because no one has had the time or knowledge to compare the market. We make the process as simple as possible — taking care of everything so that volunteers and staff can focus on what matters.

We work with churches and places of worship of all denominations and sizes across the UK. Our service is completely free, and we're sensitive to the particular circumstances and budget constraints of faith communities.

Energy Challenges We Solve For Places of Worship

  • Large, often poorly insulated historic buildings that are expensive to heat
  • Intermittent use patterns that standard commercial tariffs don't suit
  • Limited volunteer or staff time to manage utility contracts
  • Tight budgets where every saving matters
  • Expired contracts with expensive out-of-contract rates
  • Multiple buildings — church, hall, vicarage — with separate supply points

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from churches and places of worship about business energy.

Do churches qualify for the reduced 5% VAT rate on energy?

Many places of worship qualify for the reduced 5% VAT rate on energy rather than the standard 20% rate, depending on their usage pattern. We can advise on whether you qualify and ensure your bills reflect the correct rate.

Can you help with multiple buildings — church, hall and vicarage?

Yes. We can manage energy contracts for all your buildings, often securing better rates through combined volume. We'll give you a single point of contact for all your energy costs.

Is your service really free for charities and churches?

Yes. Our comparison and switching service is completely free. We're paid a commission by the supplier you choose, which is built into the unit rate. This doesn't affect the competitiveness of the rates we find.

We're a small congregation with very low energy use — can you still help?

Yes. We work with places of worship of all sizes. Even small congregations can benefit from being on the right tariff, and we're happy to help regardless of consumption level.
