About Us
Our Story
UtiliSave was founded in 1991 by Michael Steifman to help organizations find credits, refunds, and savings on their utility costs. From the beginning, the focus has been on detailed utility bill auditing and utility cost recovery for large users of gas, electric, steam, water, and sewer services.
Since then, we have worked with clients across the United States to identify billing errors and overcharges, secure refunds, and reduce ongoing utility expenses, while helping them gain better control over this essential part of their operating costs.
Michael Steifman has led UtiliSave since its founding in 1991 with a clear focus on utility bill auditing and utility cost recovery for large organizations. Over the years, he has led engagements that have uncovered credits, refunds, and savings on gas, water, sewer, steam, and electric bills for thousands of clients.
He remains closely involved with UtiliSave’s work, ensuring that the team carefully reviews billing data, confirms findings, and works with utilities so that clients receive the savings and refunds they are owed.
“When I started UtiliSave in 1991, these values guided us as we served our first customer. I am proud to say they continue to guide us as we are now the utility management partner for thousands.”
UtiliSave Today
UtiliSave has been an industry leader in utility bill auditing and utility cost recovery since 1991. To date, we have recovered over $700 million in hard‑dollar savings and refunds for clients across the United States.
Our specialists review billing data for gas, electric, steam, water, and sewer accounts, using forensic data analysis and deep knowledge of utility tariffs, regulations, and tax codes to uncover errors and overcharges. By correcting bills, securing refunds, and optimizing future rates, UtiliSave helps organizations reduce utility costs, improve budgeting accuracy, and strengthen their bottom line, without upfront fees or added internal workload.
About UtiliSave: Driving Results Year After Year
Billing errors often go undetected and cost businesses millions of dollars each year. UtiliSave understands the complexities and challenges businesses face in managing energy costs. A comprehensive audit to ensure the accuracy of utility bills is labor-intensive and often outside the scope of in-house departments or companies that provide auditing as an add-on to their core service.
At UtiliSave, utility bill auditing is our sole business. With powerful analytics, best-in-class technical excellence, operational analysis capabilities and insights, we consistently produce measurable results year after year.
