Utility Bill Analysis
For many businesses and organizations, electric billings represent a substantial utility operating cost that has a direct impact on the bottom line.Yet despite its impact, most organizations do not have the time or expertise to identify and solve problems affecting their electric utility billings. With electricity playing an ever-larger role in business due to computers and new electric technologies, it is more important now than ever to have your electric bills carefully analyzed by Commercial Utility Consultants' electric utility experts.
How can Commercial Utility Consultants help lower your electric bills? Our analysts have extensive electric utility experience, which has been an asset to finding cost saving opportunities. Having worked for utility companies, they are much more familiar with the problems that can occur, and have intimate knowledge of metering, billing systems and procedures in use by utilities. They have been highly successful in identifying problems in billing and metering that enable them to spot areas of trouble that would otherwise go unnoticed by both utilities and customers. In addition, CUC's analysts are expert negotiators, often succeeding on a billing dispute after our clients have given up trying to resolve the problem on their own.
Our approach is simple.
- Review clients' historical electric billings
- Review current and anticipated operations that can affect electric usage and billing
- Evaluate utility rates, riders and historical problem areas with each electric utility
This can be a very elaborate process for CUC, but time and again has produced results for our clients

Gas Cost Analysis
To most natural gas customers, billings may seem straight forward compared to electric billings, however deregulation of natural gas down to the small commercial customer level has resulted in customer confusion and more complicated bills similar to electric bills. Having multiple suppliers can result in additional complications and potential mistakes. Since natural gas usage can represent a sizeable portion of a business' energy costs, it is important that these bills are scrutinized by experts who are familiar with problem areas.
How can Commercial Utility Consultants help lower your natural gas utility costs? Our analysts have extensive understanding of natural gas utility billings, which has been a valuable asset to finding cost saving opportunities. Our experienced analysts identify unusual billing and metering errors that would have cost clients thousands of dollars if left unchecked. In addition, Commercial Utility Consultants' representatives are expert negotiators, often succeeding in getting utilities to change their position on a billing issue after our clients have given up trying to resolve the problem on their own.
Considering using in-house staff to perform a comprehensive natural gas billing analysis? We have found that most of our clients do not have the in-house expertise capable of solving the sometimes complex issues involving natural gas billings. Gas billings often cross over between accounting functions and facility operations. Since knowledgeable in-house personnel often have a more important role in the core business, the utility bill auditing assignment often gets light treatment due to other over-riding more immediate priorities. Today, most businesses accept the role of specialized consultants who can produce results without the need to dedicate key in-house resources who are needed to perform other functions in the organization.
Real Estate tax is usually the biggest fixed operating expense of income producing property or vacant land. If your assessment is relatively higher compared with similar properties, or is valued in excess of market value, it can have an adverse impact on the expense ratio of the property and consequently its resale value.
If approached properly there are ways to reduce the burden of real estate tax, and hence, increase profitability.
