Utility Bill Audit - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

On average, 80% of organizations are overcharged on utility expenses due to calculation errors and discrepancies billed by the utility providers. We find the best candidates for successful utility audits are organizations with multiple locations and average annual utility expenses (across all utilities and merchant fee services) of $100,000 or more. Furthermore, certain industries are more prone to errors, including: manufacturing & industrial, senior living, churches and 501C3 non profit organizations, agricultural, educational, and medical facilities. Lastly, organizations that just underwent an energy efficiency upgrade (ie. installation of LED lighting) are also great candidates to uncover electric bill corrections.

Many Companies fail to realize the importance of auditing utility and telecom budgets and the accompanying monthly charges. Frequently, utility spend is not verified due to an assumption of accuracy and cost efficiency. We often hear "as long as it looks right, we pay it." The utility company's position is that it is your responsibility to verify your bills. By assuming your bills are correct, you could be vulnerable to errors and overcharges. Our complimentary audit is a great way to validate your charges, with the potential of uncovering substantial refunds and savings going forward.

The audit duration depends on the complexity and size of your organization. Genearlly, we ask for 6 to 8 weeks to conduct our full and thorough review. However, often we are able to present our findings much sooner.

Common errors include the following: Incorrect rate schedules, hidden telecom PICC charges, incorrect tax classifications, telephone cramming charges, charges on unused / ol lines, excessive surcharges, and more.

There are no upfront costs for our utility audit services, no consulting fees or hidden charges.
