For all you energy, telecom and utility needs

“It is cheaper to save energy than make energy”

Cost Control Program

In many organizations the management of utility costs is not a top priority. Utility invoices are typically processed by accounts payable departments without any meaningful review or verification. Most management attention is devoted to the cost of labor and materials. Considering that energy and telecommunications costs can make up as much as 30 percent of an organization's overall operating budget (depends on the type of business) – utility cost reductions, even the most modest ones, can significantly improve profitability.

To relieve businesses of the burden (i.e., time, expense and distraction) of developing and maintaining the resources and expertise to internally verify, validate and analyze utility expenditures,  a utility auditor develops the “Cost Control Program”. This program is designed to identify and pursue potential refund and cost savings opportunities – reducing your utility costs and improving your profits.

Consumers and businesses pay billions of dollars in utility expenses, including electric, water/sewer, gas, telecom, cable/dish and steam. Also waiver of tax on production costs. Are you certain you and/or your business are paying the correct amount? What if it isn't? Without an expert audit, you may never know if your business is due refunds, savings, and credits from overcharges that appear in a surprisingly large percentage of utility bills.

You may want to implement energy conservation and or install renewable energy system/equipment – take advantage of rebates, incentives and tax credits.

In an environment of rising interest rates, corporate managers need to protect cash flow by cutting containable costs. One often-overlooked area of potentially excessive operating expenses: corporate utility bills. Recent surveys suggest those bills may, in as many as four out of five cases, include overcharges or other errors.

Understanding Your Utility Rate Codes

If you feel that your natural gas and electricity bills are almost indecipherable, you are not alone. The Utility’s constantly changing rates and regulations, while aimed at reducing your consumption and penalizing you if you don’t, can leave your business with the most costly solution. But the responsibility for figuring out which rate is best for your business is not on the Utility, it is on your business. And you thought you just had to pay the bill on time.

Paying the Lowest Rate

Our Natural Gas and Electricity Audit Service systematically evaluates the regulations that determine your utility charges. We monitor changes in the regulatory rules and legislative initiatives that affect your rates. Most importantly, we evaluate all of your utility bills to confirm that the rate categories and charges are best suited for your business. We manage this portion of your operational costs, freeing up time for you to focus on your core business functions.

Best of All—It Costs Your Business Nothing

Once our team completes the audit of your current rates, the findings are shared with you. If the potential for savings and even refunds are discovered, we earn a monthly fee once you see those savings. If we find no potential savings/refunds, you pay nothing.

·  Our goal is reducing our customers' overall utility costs without sacrificing reliable energy services.

·  20 plus years of saving our customers over a multi-million dollars gives us a competitive advantage.

·  We only earn a fee when we save you money.
