Remote Visual Inspections for First Time Fixes HVAC business owners and managers are always under pressure to keep their customers HVACR systems running without letting operating costs climb and naturally customers expect first time fixes - but in reality that is often difficult to achieve.

Commercial buildings invest heavily in energy efficient HVAC systems, and renewable technologies, yet electricity costs remain persistently high.

The latest in AI Energy Management systems are changing how building performance is managed. The latest platforms combine machine learning, IoT sensors, Building Twins, cloud analytics and automated controls, giving operational teams better data and quicker response times.

Most businesses think their energy bill is just: units used × rate. It isn't. Here's the breakdown of what actually makes up your typical commercial electricity unit rate: → Wholesale cost: ~38% (what the energy actually costs) → Network charges: ~22% (poles, wires, the grid) → Policy and environmental levies: ~17% (renewables obligations, government schemes) → Supplier risk premium: ~7% (the buffer they build in for market movements over your contract term) → Supplier margin

Practical, hospitality-focused ways to cut energy use in pubs and hotels—without compromising guest comfort.

It seems there are still many unscrupulous and very greedy so-called "Energy Brokers" who are still giving the industry a bad name. This post from Chris Felgate (copied below) was on LinkedIn recently and highlights the mis-sold energy contracts issue. "No broker is a charity—we charge for our services and aim to deliver value to our clients. But that doesn’t mean fees should be a blank cheque. There’s no universal “standard” commission level in the market; each broker sets t
