Commercial gas contract support
Gas for cooking, heating or hot water? Draco reviews your bill and seasonal usage, compares available contracts and explains the terms before you choose.
Understanding a gas bill
Records gas volume
Converts volume into energy
Use this unit to compare usage
Understand your quotation
Start with a full-year usage estimate, especially if you use gas for heating. Draco is an energy broker, not a gas supplier. We compare available quotes from our intermediary’s participating supplier panel using your supply details, unit rate and daily standing charge.
We explain the start date, contract length and payment terms alongside the price. Offers depend on your business circumstances and supplier acceptance. Our comparison does not cover the whole market or guarantee the lowest price.
A year, rather than one month

Cooking-led premisesTrading hours may matter more
Use a full-year estimate where possible. Heating demand and busy trading periods can make one month’s bill an unreliable guide to the year.
Compare the gas price per kWh and the standing charge together. A premises with low usage may be more sensitive to daily charges.
Check whether taxes, levies or other permitted charges can change during the term. A fixed rate is not a fixed monthly bill.
Confirm the payment method, contract start and end dates, and any notice conditions. Your gas renewal date may differ from electricity.
Gas supply details
Your Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN) identifies the gas supply point. It is different from the meter serial number. Check your bill, or ask the supplier to confirm it and the supply address.
A gas meter records volume; the bill converts that into kWh of energy. Use annual kWh from your bills or confirmed by the supplier when comparing quotes. If there are several supply points, check each separately.

Renewals and new premises
Check your contract confirmation or renewal letter for the end date and notice requirements. Already outside the fixed term? Ask the supplier to confirm your current rates and switching conditions before choosing the next contract.
When taking over premises, notify the supplier and keep dated opening meter readings. The previous occupier’s gas contract does not necessarily transfer to your business. We can help you understand the supplier’s change-of-tenancy process.

Before you choose
Yes. They are separate supplies and may have different suppliers, contract dates and payment terms. We review each agreement and can compare them at the same time.
The meter records a volume of gas, which is converted into energy in kWh for billing. Use the kWh consumption stated on your bill or confirmed by the supplier when comparing contract costs.
A recent bill and the supply address are useful starting points. We can help identify which supply details need confirming before a supplier quotation or contract can be arranged.
