Bill Audit

Do you know if your current utility bills are correct? Were they correct last year or last month? Through its affiliation with a full service energy management firm, AWES offers a utility invoice audit that will look for those errors and make sure you are paying the correct amount for current and future billings.

At minimum, 3% of utility invoices have billing errors. Through professional utility bill audits which leverage a unique and proprietary methodology, refined over 20 years by experts, you can receive savings in the form of credits, refunds and future savings.

Although the opportunities for savings through invoice audits are numerous and varied, the two most common are utility billing errors and tariff rate optimization. Utilities make mistakes that can be very costly to clients, and that are often overlooked. AWES’ affiliate finds these errors, and negotiates directly with utilities to generate refunds and/or credits for you for past billing errors, in addition to the future savings associated with correcting the errors.


Benefits

  • Receive a turnkey service that minimizes the impact on you and more importantly, gets you the benefits of the findings immediately.
  • All communication with the utility vendors to negotiate credits, refunds, and rate changes are handled on your behalf.
  • Recover any losses from the past and help prevent future losses:
  • Refunds – An error is detected, for some specific time in the past, and is then resolved. Negotiations are handled with the utility supplier so that you may get a refund for the overcharge on that period of time.
  • Refunds and Avoided Costs – If an ongoing bill error is detected and resolved by negotiating with the utility supplier for a refund from that past error, you also benefit from the error not occurring on future bills. This type of finding results in both a refund and also future avoided costs for a period of time by correcting an error that is occurring in real time.
  • Avoided Costs – Even if no errors are found, AWES and its affiliate can optimize the tariff so you pay lower rates for all future bills.
