Utility Bill Auditing

utility bill audit is the most effective way for large companies to identify billing errors and recover overcharges. Large companies like yours spend a significant amount of money on utilities, more than necessary in many cases. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, commercial buildings consumed $142 billion in energy costs in recent years, representing $23,900 per building on average. These costs make utility bill accuracy critical for business profitability.

A comprehensive data optimization service like a detailed utility bill audit executed by UtiliSave can provide insight that leads to substantial savings for your business. Since our founding in 1991, UtiliSave has helped our clients save hundreds of millions of dollars by correcting overcharges and identifying savings opportunities. In many situations, we recover additional sums that result in hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings for individual clients.

How Does Our Utility Bill Auditing Process Work?

Our utility bill audit services consist of an eight-step process:

  1. Information packet review: You’ll provide us with the essential information required to begin an audit, including one recent invoice for each utility account or access to your payment provider.
  2. Secure utility date: We’ll contact the utility companies your company works with to obtain historical billing data and upload it to our proprietary software for data analysis.
  3. Audit execution: Our algorithms and multilevel analytical processes will review your company’s utility data for the previous six years and vet the results.
  4. Site inspection determination: We’ll decide whether on-site utility bill checking is necessary and schedule a convenient time if applicable.
  5. Adjudication: Our auditors will begin the closure process by submitting our findings and supporting data to the utility companies.
  6. Notification: A UtiliSave utility bill auditor will inform you of any significant savings issues our audit uncovers.
  7. Refunds, credits and savings: The utility company will issue a refund or an account credit if we determine they owe your business.
  8. Ongoing audits: We’ll continue to monitor your accounts, adding value to your utility expense management process.
