Every commercial utility bill starts with a number a meter recorded.
Every commercial utility bill starts with a number a meter recorded. When that number is wrong - misread, misconfigured, or simply lost in a data transfer between the utility and its billing system - the error doesn’t just distort a single bill. It compounds, month after month, until someone forensically re-examines the account.
UtiliSave’s meter asset recovery process exists for exactly this problem: finding the dollars lost when metering equipment, interval data, or meter-to-bill data handoffs fail silently.
Missing or corrupted reads - a single account can generate thousands of meter reads a month, and portions of that data are routinely missing or corrupted.
Misapplied tariffs following a meter swap or reconfiguration, which can quietly assign a higher-cost rate class than the account qualifies for.
Interval data going uncaptured - granular interval reads can reveal savings and errors a standard monthly read never surfaces.
Sub-meter allocation errors, where utility costs are split incorrectly across departments, tenants, or cost centers.
Our forensic auditors don’t just check whether a bill was paid correctly against its own numbers - we verify whether the underlying meter and rate assignment were correct in the first place. That means:
Pulling raw meter and interval data directly from the utility, not just the summarized bill.
Running proprietary regression analysis to flag consumption patterns inconsistent with the account’s billed rate class.
Cross-checking tariff eligibility against every applicable rate schedule, exemption, and special allocation the account may qualify for.
Reconstructing a corrected billing history and pursuing recovery of the overcharge directly with the utility.
Utility meter asset recovery is included as part of UtiliSave’s forensic bill audit process, offered on a contingency basis - you pay only when we recover money on your behalf. There’s no upfront cost to find out whether your meter data is costing you.
