The audit

What does a business energy audit cover?

In short: A Termina energy review analyses your electricity and gas bills, tariffs, demand charges and contract timing for every Melbourne site, and shows where you are paying more than you should. It’s $0 to join, and we’re paid only from a share of the savings we find.

The parts of the bill household reviews ignore: demand, tariffs, network charges and contract timing.

Usage and demand

Your electricity and gas usage across the day and the year, and the peaks that set your demand charges.

Tariffs and network charges

Whether each site is on the right tariff, and what the network charges add.

Contract timing

Every end date and exit fee, so you move when it is cheap to.

The process

How does a Termina energy review work?

Four steps, and nothing changes until you approve it.

Send your latest bills

Electricity, gas or both, as the PDF from the retailer. One site or all of them.

We compare the whole market

Every retailer that will take your business, including the ones that pay brokers nothing.

You approve before anything changes

You see the saving for each site and the rate it will pay, already after our share.

We keep checking

On small business plans we re-check your prices every month and switch you when there’s something cheaper.

Who pays your adviser

How do energy brokers get paid?

Most are paid a commission by the retailer that wins your contract. Termina refuses retailer commissions.

A commission-paid broker

Paid by the retailer that wins your contract. The commission usually sits inside your unit rate, so it never shows as a line on your bill.

Termina

No retailer pays us anything. Our only income is a share of the savings we find, and every rate we quote is already after our share.

Questions

What do Melbourne businesses ask about energy audits?

What do I need for an energy review?

Your latest electricity and gas bills, as the PDF from the retailer.

How much does Termina charge?

$0 to join. On small business plans, the only way we get paid is a share of what we save you, split 50/50. No saving, no fee. Our fee sits inside your rates. For large-market sites: No fee to run the tender. Once you switch, 1% of your bill (capped at $80 a month) plus 10% of what we save you.

Do you review multi-site businesses?

Yes. Each site is reviewed on its own, and every bill, site and contract sits in one place on the platform.

What if you can’t find a saving?

On small business plans, you pay nothing. On small business plans in Australia: if no better rate is found in 12 months, you get $100 off your next bill.

Business Energy Audit Melbourne

Energy costs continue to rise across Victoria, and without a clear understanding of how your business consumes electricity and gas, it’s almost impossible to control your expenses. Termina provides a comprehensive business energy audit Melbourne service designed to analyse your usage, identify inefficiencies, and uncover immediate and long-term savings opportunities.

Whether you operate a warehouse, office, hospitality venue, manufacturing site, or multi-site portfolio, Termina’s energy audit gives you the clear, data-driven roadmap you need to cut costs, improve efficiency, and build long-term energy resilience.

Commercial Energy Audit Melbourne: Designed for Business, Not Households

General energy assessments and basic comparison tools aren’t enough for commercial operations. Business energy usage is complex, featuring peak demand, equipment loads, process cycles, and multi-site dynamics.

Termina’s commercial energy audit Melbourne is built specifically for commercial and industrial businesses in Victoria.

Your audit includes:

  • A detailed analysis of your electricity and gas consumption
  • Review of equipment and operational load patterns
  • Identification of waste, inefficiencies, and unnecessary charges
  • Assessment of peak-demand usage and opportunities to reduce spikes
  • Bill optimisation and tariff structure analysis
  • Review of network charges and fees
  • Recommendations for contract renewal timing
  • Modelling of potential upgrades or technology changes

This isn’t just about finding a cheaper bill, it’s about transforming the way your business uses energy.

Cheap Electric Melbourne: Turn Insights into Real Savings

The results of your audit often reveal immediate opportunities to secure cheap electric Melbourne rates. Many businesses overpay because they:

  • Are on outdated electricity plans

  • Have never renegotiated their contract

  • Are placed on default market tariffs

  • Cannot see the hidden network or demand charges

  • Use equipment inefficiently during peak periods

  • Haven’t reviewed their contract timing in years

Termina uses audit findings to negotiate better commercial electricity contracts on your behalf, ensuring your business not only uses energy efficiently, but pays fair, competitive rates.
