Why Care Homes Need to Be Wary of Rogue Energy Companies
Common Energy Pitfalls for Care Homes
Care homes are particularly vulnerable to misleading energy practices. Some of the most common problems include:
Hidden costs and uplifts
Inflated unit prices on gas and electricity.
Incorrect tax charges
Paying the Climate Change Levy (CCL) when exempt, or being billed at the wrong VAT rate.
Missed savings from audits
Never had an energy audit to recover past overpayments.
Waste management risks
Failing to adapt to the new law on waste management that came into effect on 31st March 2025, risking potential fines.

Gas reduction products
paying the Climate Change Levy (CCL) when exempt, or being billed at the wrong VAT rate.

Smart lighting systems
to lower electricity costs with efficient, automated control.
Digitally controlled thermostats
for better heating management and comfort.
Funded EV chargers
if your care home has spare land or parking spaces, you can install funded EV charging points at no cost to the care home. You don’t pay for the electricity, and residents, staff, or the public can pay to charge their cars, generating a passive income stream for your business.
