Utility Bill Verification

“To control my energy costs, I need to be sure that our bills are accurate and match the contract terms we agreed to.”

With LEGACY’s Utility Bill Verification Service, you can.

Are your accounts assigned to the best rate? Are you paying more for energy than you contracted for? Contract terms can be complicated and confusing, incorporating a variety of rates, taxes and terms. In many deregulated energy markets, energy providers combine their charges into a single line item on the bill. This type of billing can often lead to errors and even incorrect taxation, because some charges are regulated, some are not, and individual cost components may be taxable or tax-exempt.

Utility Bill Verification
LEGACY leverages best-in-industry analysis software and the expertise of specialists to scrutinize your bills. This process reveals and confirms the individual cost components, making the billing process more transparent and uncovering errors that may have resulted in overbilling. This includes notification of overpayment and recovery opportunities.

When performed in conjunction with ongoing energy management services, future billing errors can be minimized or avoided entirely. Ultimately, a clean baseline is created from which sound energy analysis, strategies and applied solutions can be implemented.

Rate Optimization
LEGACY will assess and recommend contract structures that best fit your energy and budget needs. In deregulated markets, LEGACY solicits pricing from pre-qualified competitive energy providers. We then analyze pricing nuances versus market conditions to provide you with detailed reports illustrating the projected budget impact of energy decisions.

In regulated markets, LEGACY evaluates the incumbent provider’s tariff to identify all of the factors that contribute to the calculation of your utility bills. While you may be restricted to a specific energy  supplier, each tariff contains multiple rates, riders and general rules. Understanding each facility’s energy demand, usage and voltage profile can reveal opportunities to switch to more cost-effective options.

Finally, through our understanding of regulatory issues, we can identify special incentives at local, state and federal levels that include economic development, energy efficiency, interruptibility, renewables, sales tax exemptions and others.

And, every LEGACY service includes our industry-leading customer service team, a trained, dedicated and knowledgeable group available to answer your questions and ensure your complete understanding and satisfaction.
