Services

A complete look at every dollar your utilities ask for.

We work the bill from both sides — the utility’s tariff and your operation’s usage. The result is a written review you can act on, defend, and revisit. Here’s what an engagement typically covers.

01

Utility bill analysis

Find the charges that don’t belong.

We pull 12 to 36 months of statements and read them the way the utility’s billing system writes them — line by line, rider by rider, meter by meter. Most accounts contain at least a few items worth questioning: math errors, expired riders that never came off, charges for equipment that was removed, and small recurring fees that have been quietly compounding for years.

  • Account, meter, and service classification audit
  • Charge-level reconciliation against the published tariff
  • Rider, surcharge, and pass-through verification
  • Tax and exemption status review
02

Rate & tariff review

Make sure the rate you’re on still fits the building you have now.

Utilities don’t move you to a better rate on their own. We compare your actual load profile against every tariff you qualify for, model what the bill would have looked like under each, and recommend the schedule that genuinely serves the operation today — not the one that fit when the meter was first installed.

  • Historical rate-class eligibility analysis
  • Side-by-side modeling against alternate tariffs
  • Time-of-use and seasonal rate comparison
  • Switching paperwork handled end-to-end
03

Demand & usage insight

Turn fifteen-minute interval data into plain-English answers.

For commercial and industrial customers, demand charges and time-of-use rates can easily exceed the energy charge itself. We pull interval data directly from the utility, find your real peaks, and explain — in language your team can act on — what drives them, how predictable they are, and where they can be shaved.

  • Interval-data acquisition from the utility
  • Peak demand attribution by shift, season, and equipment
  • Power factor and reactive-charge review
  • Load-shifting and curtailment scenarios
04

Overcharge & refund recovery

When the utility owes you money, we go get it.

If our audit surfaces an error or misclassification, we document it, prepare the formal claim, and work with the utility’s key-account or commercial billing group to recover refunds and credits. We do this without burning the relationship — the goal is to fix the bill going forward, not just collect once.

  • Claim packaging with tariff citations
  • Direct correspondence with utility commercial billing
  • Refund tracking and credit verification
  • Forward-looking correction so the error doesn’t return
05

Savings recommendations

A written plan — what to do first, what to plan for, what to skip.

You receive a clear, plain-language report covering every finding, every recommendation, and the estimated value behind it. We rank opportunities by payback, effort, and risk so your finance and operations teams can make decisions together. No proprietary scores, no opaque models — just a report you can audit.

  • Prioritized opportunity register with estimated annual savings
  • Quick-wins, capital-plan items, and behavioral changes separated
  • Rebate and incentive programs flagged before you spend
  • Executive summary suitable for board or owner review
06

Energy efficiency opportunities

Equipment-level upgrades the data actually supports.

Lighting, HVAC, motors, controls, refrigeration, compressed air, and process equipment all leave fingerprints in the interval data. We identify the upgrades with the strongest realistic payback for your operation, and where applicable, the utility incentive or rebate program that should fund part of the work.

  • Walk-through assessment of major end-uses
  • Rebate, incentive, and tax-credit screening
  • Vendor-neutral specifications — no kickbacks, no preferred installers
  • Measurement & verification recommendations
07

Ongoing support & oversight

Savings that hold up, year after year.

Utility rates change. Riders get added. Meters get swapped. Operations evolve. We offer a continuing oversight engagement that monitors every bill against an established baseline, flags variances quickly, and keeps your savings from quietly eroding the moment the consultant leaves the room.

  • Monthly bill review against expected ranges
  • Anomaly alerts to your finance and facilities leads
  • Annual tariff and rate-class re-check
  • Quarterly summary report
Engagement & pricing

Designed so the math is in your favor before we begin.

We offer flexible engagement structures so the work is worth doing for both sides. Specific terms are confirmed during a short scoping conversation — but here’s how engagements typically look.

Option A
Contingency

We get paid only out of refunds and verified savings we actually deliver. Best for accounts new to a formal utility review.

Option B
Fixed scope

A defined audit or rate-review engagement at a fixed fee. Best when scope and deliverables are well understood up front.

Option C
Ongoing retainer

Monthly oversight, anomaly monitoring, and quarterly reporting for portfolios that need continuous attention.

Initial reviews are always at no cost. You only see fees after we’ve shown you the findings and you’ve decided to move forward.

We’ll come back with a written savings opportunity — at no cost, no commitment, and under NDA.
