Energy Awareness For UK Care Sector

We work with care homes, nursing homes, hospitals, and other sectors to help manage energy costs in a calm and informed way.

Since 2021, we’ve supported hundreds of providers with contract reviews, energy comparisons, and practical reminders — without the pressure. We're fully independent and registered with the Energy Ombudsman.

What’s Affecting Prices This Summer

Energy prices are expected to rise again in July, and not just because of seasonal demand.

Wars and global conflicts are driving increased volatility in the energy market.

• The Russia–Ukraine war has already led to significant increases in gas prices across Europe.
   
• More recently, the Israel–Iran conflict has pushed oil and gas prices higher, with further spikes possible if supply routes are disrupted.
   

For high-usage environments like care homes and hospitals, this could mean £3,000–£5,000 more per year, especially for those not on fixed-rate contracts.

Bespoke Support for the Care Sector

We understand that energy use in care settings is unique. Heating, hot water, and 24/7 operation — all affect your costs.

At Switch Squid, we:

• Work with care homes, nursing homes, and hospitals
• Provide bespoke pricing based on your size, location, and usage
• Help monitor contract dates so you don’t fall into high out-of-contract rates
• Offer clear options from over 15 trusted UK suppliers — if and when you want to review

Free Contract Reminder

Many care owners are surprised when their energy contract ends, and by then, it’s too late to avoid rollover rates.

 Our free reminder service ensures you’re notified in advance.
