Finance commercial energy monitoring and sub-metering systems from £2,000 to £150,000, to track and manage site electricity, gas and water use. HP, lease, or refinance
Yes, energy monitorings are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £2,000 to £150,000, and most deals are written over 12–60 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24–48 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

Energy monitoring hardware generally qualifies as plant and machinery for capital allowances, so a business can typically set some or all of the cost against taxable profits through the Annual Investment Allowance or other first-year reliefs, subject to your total qualifying spend for the year. Confirm current treatment with your accountant before finalising the finance structure, and note that any software subscription element is usually treated as a running cost rather than a capital allowance.
Energy monitoring systems don't save energy directly; they make consumption visible at a level of detail (by circuit, by meter, by site) that lets a business find and fix waste, verify that other equipment such as a BMS, voltage optimiser or new heat pump is actually performing as expected, and benchmark performance across multiple sites. The typical buyer is either starting a wider energy efficiency programme and wants a baseline before spending on bigger equipment, or is a multi-site business wanting to compare and manage consumption centrally. Because the value is largely in the data and the action taken from it rather than the hardware itself, ongoing analysis, whether in-house or through the supplier's platform, is usually what determines whether the investment pays off.
Some specialist lenders consider businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options may be available. Fundably may use a soft credit check for matching, which does not affect your credit score. A hard check may happen if you choose to proceed with a lender.
