Utility Savings Services
Expense Management, Inc.
will obtain comprehensive billing history for each
of your accounts directly from your utility service providers, using
a Letter of Agency. If additional information is needed, the client
may have to retrieve or copy data from its company billing records.
An extensive review will be conducted on each account to search
for past billing errors and possible cost savings opportunities.
Adjustments of billing errors may go back many months or even years.
Our billing analysts will verify the accuracy of your bills and
check for proper application of rates. Further studies will be completed
to see if any riders, alternative rate schedules or other service
options can be applied to reduce ongoing costs. Negotiations with
the utility for reduced cost contracts are also pursued where possible.
Some of the things we look for include:
- Regrading
to lower rate schedules or classifications.
- Invoking
special riders.
- Arranging
new demand, energy, fuel adjustment charges and meter multipliers.
- Equipment
changes.
- Recommending
new suppliers.
- Purchase
of rental or distribution equipment.
- Review of
surcharges.
- Power-factor
correction.
- Negotiated
rates/contracts.
- Seasonality
changes.
