Business owners & CFOs
For multi-site operators, finance leaders, and controllers who need utility spend to behave like every other line of the P&L — visible, predictable, and defensible.
Independent utility cost recovery
Cut utility costs without cutting operations.
We help commercial and industrial customers stop overpaying for electricity, natural gas, water and sewer. We read your bills the way the utilities do — line by line — and turn what we find into recurring savings, refunds for past overcharges, and rate decisions that hold up under scrutiny.
Who we work with
Built for the people who actually pay the utility bill.
Whether you sign the check, sign off on the budget, or sign for the freight, you’re likely paying more than you should. We work directly with the teams responsible for utility spend in commercial and industrial operations.
Facility & operations leaders
For directors of facilities, plant managers, and operations leaders who track every kilowatt, therm, and gallon but rarely have time to argue with the tariff sheet.
Industrial customers
For manufacturers, processors, cold storage, and other heavy-load operations where demand charges, power factor, and rate class can quietly shape the entire utility bill.
Representative client experience
Utility reviews for complex, multi-site operations.
ARC Energy works with commercial and industrial end-use customers where utility spend is material, recurring, and worth reviewing closely. Client names are kept confidential unless written approval is provided.
Hospitality portfolios
Review experience across hotel and lodging properties where electric, gas, water, and sewer charges vary by brand, site size, occupancy patterns, and local utility rate structure.
Grocery, restaurant & food service
Support for high-usage operations with refrigeration, kitchens, ventilation, and extended operating hours that can create hidden demand, usage, and billing opportunities.
Healthcare & institutional facilities
Utility-cost review for facilities where reliability matters and recommendations must make operational, financial, and compliance sense before any action is taken.
Schools & commercial properties
Analysis for campus-style and commercial real estate portfolios with multiple meters, seasonal usage swings, and budget pressure across electricity, gas, water, and sewer.
What we do
Seven ways we go after your utility spend.
No single trick saves a building money. Real savings come from looking at the bill from every angle — the rate, the meter, the usage pattern, the contract, and the equipment behind the meter.
Utility bill analysis
A meter-by-meter audit of recent electric, gas, and water statements — looking for math errors, misapplied riders, double charges, and the small recurring fees that add up.
Rate & tariff review
Most accounts inherit a rate schedule from years ago. We compare your actual usage profile against every eligible tariff and recommend the rate that genuinely fits the operation today.
Demand & usage insight
Demand charges and time-of-use rates can dwarf the energy charge itself. We translate interval data into plain-English patterns: when you peak, what drives it, and where to shave it.
Overcharge & refund recovery
When we find a billing error or misclassification, we document it and pursue refunds and credits through the utility — without making the relationship adversarial.
Energy efficiency opportunities
Lighting, HVAC, motors, controls, and process equipment all leave clues in the data. We flag the upgrades with the strongest payback — and the rebates worth pursuing first.
Savings recommendations
You get a clear, written report — what we found, what it’s worth, what to do first, and what to put on next year’s capital plan. No black boxes, no proprietary scores.
How an engagement works
A short, low-risk review. Then real work.
Step 01
Bills in, NDA out
You send 12 months of utility statements. We sign a mutual NDA and confirm scope. No fees, no commitment yet.
Step 02
Independent review
We analyze every line, compare rates, model alternatives, and assemble a findings document with sources.
Step 03
Findings & decisions
We walk you and your team through what we found, what it’s worth, and what we’d recommend doing — or not doing.
Step 04
Implementation & oversight
If you choose to act, we handle the utility paperwork, track results, and keep an eye on future bills.
