Where your utility bill money actually goes

100% Written Commission Disclosure Before You Sign

Many energy brokers add silent 2p to 4p per kWh markups onto your rates. At West Coast Services, our commission is declared in pounds and pence before you sign any contract, keeping your unit rates tied directly to true wholesale supplier costs.

Specification

What's covered in every electricity review:

01

Whole-of-market quotes

Pricing requested from independent and Big Six UK energy suppliers for your specific consumption profile.

02

Full bill audit

We check your standing charges, capacity charges (kVA) and climate change levy (CCL) exemptions.

03

Transparent commission

Suppliers pay us a fee built into your unit rate. You see the exact amount in writing before signing.

04

Switch management

We deal with both outgoing and incoming suppliers, manage objections and register meter reads.

05

Multi-site alignment

Bring multiple meters and properties onto single co-terminus end dates to eliminate paperwork.

06

Renewal reminder service

We contact you 120 days before your contract expires so you never drop onto punitive out-of-contract rates.

Clear Switch Process

How an electricity switch works

01

Send us a recent bill

We grab your MPAN number, current tariff, meter profile and annual kWh consumption from the bill.

02

Sign a Letter of Authority

This gives us permission to obtain usage data and request live prices from suppliers on your behalf.

03

Review your options

Compare unit rates, standing charges, green credentials and our commission side by side on one page.

04

We lock the rate & switch

We handle supplier notices and meter transfers. Your electricity never turns off.
