Opal Utilities Background

Pitched as an alternative to the ‘Big Six’, Opal Gas is a small company with a St Albans HQ. The supplier doesn’t use offshore call centres and claims to answer all calls within 30 seconds.

Opal says it “constantly monitors the wholesale gas market to ensure customers always get the best deal available”.

Opal Gas Smart Meter

Instead of smart meters, Opal encourages their customers to have Automated Meter Readings installed (AMR meters).

Other Opal Utilities Meters

With AMR, customers won’t have to take readings manually. Readings will be sent straight to Opal, making bills as accurate as possible.

Opal Utilities Bills

Customers will receive their monthly bill around the 10th of every month, and a Direct Debit payment will be due 10 business days later.

A breakdown of your bill isn’t available, but confused customers are encouraged to call Opal Gas customer services for advice if they’re unsure.

If your business uses more than 145kWh a day, VAT is charged at 20%. If your business uses less than this, you’ll pay 5%.

Opal Utilities App

There’s no app available for customers, but there is an online portal to log into if you use AMR.

Switching To Opal Utilities

It takes around five working days to switch energy suppliers. When your transfer is successful, you’ll receive a Welcome Pack.

To switch from your existing business energy supplier to another one, you’ll need to know:

• How much you’re spending on energy right now (either annually or monthly, but ideally both)?
• When your current contract date ends and if there are any exit fees.
• What your consumption rates are.
• Your up-to-date meter readings.

Moving Locations With Opal Utilities

Customers moving premises need to let Opal Utilities know when they’re moving and provide them with a final meter reading.

Different premises can incur different energy costs, so it’s always worth searching for new tariffs and providers to see if they’ll be more affordable.

If you’re moving out of an Opal Utilities property, you’ll need to provide:

• Date of your move.
• New address.
• A meter reading when you leave your old property/move into your new one.
• Copy of your lease agreement.
• Landlord’s name and contact number (if relevant).
