Utility Audits for Grocery Stores
Significant power consumption happens at grocery stores to maintain operations. These energy-utilizing components include lighting sources, heating, air conditioning and refrigeration. If you’re looking to manage your store’s energy consumption more efficiently, there are many ways UtiliSave can help improve its current operations and increase savings while reducing costs.
How We Conduct Utility Audits for Grocery Stores
How can we achieve substantial savings for your retail business? We have a proven 94% success rate with our clients, which we accomplish with:
- Advanced technology: Our exhaustive proprietary software allows us to delve deeper and get a thorough analysis of your utility data, going back up to six years. We do a comprehensive analysis of granular data. From this data, we can identify operational inefficiencies that are driving up your utility bills.
- Negotiations: We can build compelling analysis reports from data sets and use these for negotiations. We negotiate with utility providers on your behalf for refunds.
- Exemptions: We have the expertise to seek relevant exemptions or programs that can apply to your business for lower utility costs.
- Contract review: Our team will review all contracts and tariffs of steam, gas, electric and sewer bills. We can recover savings by finding potential errors or discrepancies.
- Energy audits: With the numerous appliances and high rates of electricity use in grocery stores, we focus on reducing electricity costs through grocery store energy audits.
Reasons to Do a Utility Bill Audit of Your Grocery Store
Here are just a few of the reasons why utility bill audits for grocery stores are beneficial:
- They positively impact the bottom line: Utility costs for large facilities like stores can impact the bottom line by up to 30%. If there are any miscalculations or operational inefficiencies, this can affect your net profit drastically. An audit will detect these issues and enable you to make advantageous changes for lower costs.
- They identify common errors: Incorrect meter readings or invoicing errors are more common than you imagine. By remedying these mistakes, we have found savings and refund opportunities for many of our clients.
- They offer external knowledge and resources: Internal auditing resources often don’t have the expertise to verify the accuracy of utility bills. UtiliSave has extensive experience in this process, as it is our sole business focus.
- They are risk free: We cover all costs until we find savings for you, meaning you can have peace of mind with our contingency fee structure.
