Success Story
Ocean View Hotel — Bournemouth
Hotel & B&B — Bournemouth, Dorset
The Challenge
Heating 40 guest rooms, running a commercial kitchen for breakfast service, and maintaining a constant hot water supply meant the Ocean View Hotel was incredibly gas-heavy. Their existing multi-site contract had expired, silently moving them onto deemed rates.
Our Solution
We ran a full market comparison for both electricity and gas, ultimately moving them to a single supplier on a 36-month fixed contract to secure their budget against winter price spikes.
The Result
The new contract reduced their combined energy expenditure by £13,500 a year, giving the owners the confidence to invest in new, heavy-duty boiler controls.
Energy Saving Tips for Hotels & B&Bs
Install occupancy sensors in guest room corridors and bathrooms
Upgrade to condensing boilers for 15-20% gas savings
Use key card switches in rooms to cut power when guests leave
Schedule laundry cycles during off-peak energy periods
Consider solar PV — hotels typically have large, suitable roof areas
