Stop paying for gas you don't need to burn
Every building has gas waste. The only question is whether you know where it is and how much it's costing you. At current prices, inefficiencies that were marginal at 3p/kWh are costing thousands per year at 10p/kWh. HeatFlow makes that waste visible - and trackable.
Quantify Your Gas Waste
Most building operators don't know how much gas they're wasting. HeatFlow analyses your consumption patterns and identifies the gap between actual and optimised usage - putting a pound figure on your inefficiency.
Track Cost Savings in Real Time
See your gas cost reduction accumulate day by day. HeatFlow converts kWh savings into pounds using your actual gas rates, so you always know the financial impact of efficiency measures.
Catch Waste Before It Costs You
A single stuck valve can waste £50-£100 per week. A faulty boiler control can add £500 per month. HeatFlow's anomaly detection catches these issues within hours, not months - before they show up as a shock on your gas bill.
Budget Protection
Gas price volatility makes budget forecasting difficult. But reducing consumption by 20% doesn't just save money - it reduces your exposure to price fluctuations by 20%. Less gas used = less budget risk.
ROI Tracking on Every Measure
Each efficiency measure gets its own savings tracking. Know exactly which interventions are delivering value and which fell short of projections. Data-driven decisions for future investment.
Payback Period Calculation
For capital investments, HeatFlow calculates actual payback periods based on measured savings - not theoretical estimates. Know exactly when each investment starts generating net returns.
The real cost of doing nothing
Every month of inaction costs more than the last. Here's what a typical building wastes while waiting:
£800-£1,500 per month in recoverable waste
A 100-unit heat network with 20% avoidable losses wastes 8,000-10,000 kWh per month. At current prices, that's £800-£1,500 going up the flue every month. In the time it takes to get three quotes and schedule a meeting, you've wasted another month's worth of gas.
Price rises compound the problem
If gas prices rise another 10% next year (well within forecasts), your waste increases by 10% too. The gap between acting now and acting later grows every quarter. Buildings that started efficiency programmes in 2023 are already saving £15,000-£30,000 per year - savings that accumulate while competitors hesitate.
Competitors are already reducing
Forward-thinking housing associations and building managers are already measuring and reducing gas consumption. They'll have lower operating costs, better environmental credentials, and more attractive buildings. The gap between efficient and inefficient portfolios widens every year.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much can we save on gas costs?
Typical savings range from 15-30% of annual gas spend, depending on the current efficiency of your heating system. For a 100-unit heat network consuming 500,000 kWh/year at current prices (8-12p/kWh), this represents £6,000-£18,000 per year. Quick wins like flow temperature optimisation often deliver the first 10% within weeks.
What's the fastest way to reduce gas costs?
The fastest interventions are operational changes that cost nothing: reducing flow temperatures by 10°C (saves 8-12%), fixing stuck diverter valves (saves 5-15% per affected unit), and optimising boiler sequencing (saves 5-10%). These can be implemented in days and start saving immediately.
How do gas costs relate to the energy crisis?
UK gas prices have risen over 60% since 2020, driven by geopolitical instability including the war in Iran, supply chain disruption, and the energy transition. Commercial and communal heating users face full market exposure. Reducing consumption is the most effective strategy for managing costs in a volatile market.
Is it worth investing in gas efficiency at current prices?
More than ever. At 10p/kWh, efficiency measures that would have taken 5 years to pay back at 3p/kWh now pay back in 18 months. The higher the gas price, the more valuable every kWh saved becomes. And with prices unlikely to return to pre-2020 levels, the case for investment gets stronger each year.
How does HeatFlow help with gas cost reduction?
HeatFlow provides three things: visibility (see exactly where gas is going), identification (find where it's being wasted), and verification (prove that efficiency measures are delivering real savings). This combination turns gas cost reduction from guesswork into a measured, managed process.
