Get Started

Utility bill auditing is all about making sure you're paying the right amount for your electricity and natural gas services. Let's break down how we do this, step by step:

Historical Review

Collection of Bills

Gather all utility bills for the period you want to audit. This could be for a month, a quarter, or years.

Initial Review

Perform a preliminary review of the bills to understand the billing patterns, rates applied, and the usual consumption levels.

Historical Analysis

Compare current bills with past bills to identify any significant changes or anomalies in usage patterns or charges.

Rate Verification

Verify that the rates charged on the bills are in accordance with the utility provider’s tariffs and contract agreements. This includes checking for proper application of seasonal rates, demand charges, and tiered usage rates.

Meter Reading Verification

Ensure that the meter readings on which the bills are based are accurate. This may involve checking the actual meter or reviewing meter reading records.

Usage Analysis

Analyze the usage patterns to determine if there are any inconsistencies or inefficiencies. Look for periods of unusually high or low usage that may indicate errors or opportunities for cost savings.

Tax and Fee Assessment

Review all taxes, fees, and surcharges to confirm they are correctly calculated and applicable. Some entities are exempt from certain taxes or fees, and mistakes can occur in applying these charges.

Error Identification

Identify any billing errors, such as incorrect meter readings, misapplied rates, or erroneous charges.

Documentation of Findings

Document all findings, including any discrepancies or errors. Prepare a report detailing any overcharges and potential areas for cost savings.

Savings Implementation

Communicate with Utility Provider

If errors are found, contact the utility provider to discuss the findings. Provide them with the necessary documentation to support your claim for corrections or adjustments.

Negotiate Adjustments

Work with the utility provider to correct any errors and negotiate refunds or credits for any overcharges discovered during the audit.

Implement Cost-Saving Measures

Based on the audit’s findings, implement any changes that could lead to cost savings. This could involve adjusting usage patterns, upgrading equipment for better efficiency, or switching rate plans.

On-going Protection

Follow-Up

After adjustments have been made, continue to monitor utility bills to ensure that corrections have been applied and that no new issues have arisen.

Regular Audits

Schedule regular utility bill audits to maintain accurate billing and to identify opportunities for ongoing cost savings.
