Our offer to you

Your business is housing, our business is supplying heat. With the changes in the heat market, we offer you a complete Energy Services Company (ESCo) solution through Vital Community Energi, so you can concentrate on your core activities.

 

A complete energy solution

By handing over your heating and hot water requirements to Vital Community Energi, you will benefit from a fully managed energy services arrangement, via a formal Energy Services Agreement (ESCo), to supply heat services to your new or existing development.

We ensure that customers have fair pricing, clear visibility of their bills, transparent communications and are reassured with a seamless accessible service.
