As energy prices continue to break record levels and continue to rise, now is the time to seek
relief through a comprehensive study of your company’s
utility costs, nationwide and worldwide. Cost reductions are
available. Determine if you are purchasing energy at the lowest unit
cost.
Utility bills appear to be an
embedded expense that is usually dismissed as uncontrollable. |
Whether the bill is for electricity, heating and cooling, or
simply turning on the water tap, the costs and taxing of utility
services can be reduced. In today’s deregulated environment,
management of these expenses is more important than ever before.
In the ongoing quest for cost control and in light of the
fact that knowledge is truly power, the more you know about
the nature of utility-related industries, the better you can
control costs. Providers contend that the detection of errors
or over-billings is the responsibility of the customer. Yet
most companies do not have the specific knowledge, experience, or direct
data access necessary to challenge rate or bill accuracy. Industry expertise,
ongoing review, and data connectivity are essential weapons
in the hunt for these lost profits. |

businesses' utility bills containing errors, CRS and its team

change, interface with providers, provide a sounding board for
questions on deregulation, offer alternative suppliers and cost

Our 3-Step Process Includes:
Retrospective Review
Review electricity, gas, water/sewer, and waste disposal costs for possible refunds.Prospective Review
Optimize energy billing algorithms and waste-removal rates, terms, equipment, and frequency for cost reductions going forward.Consumption Study
Find opportunities to reduce consumption, increase recycling, and become a "greener" organization.
Utilizing the experience and “insider
information” of our auditing specialists, we evaluate invoices,
track cost trends, benchmark rates, and negotiate directly with
vendors to generate refunds, obtain credits, and justify company
discounts. As rate and tariff experts, we will also examine your
current situation, research cost-saving opportunities, and submit
recommendations geared to impact your bottom line and generate
future savings for years to come.
Our experienced negotiators will interface with your suppliers,
regardless of where you purchase. As you expand, free advice is
offered for new locations prior to the inception of service. This
assures continuous cost control.
An ongoing review of current as well as future purchases
insures against ever overpaying for utility requirements. Thousands
of clients have enjoyed millions of dollars in cost savings. Regardless
of high energy prices, you may still be able to pay less than what you are currently being charged.
A competitive market is not the only place to save. Even
in regulated markets, suppliers offer a variety of rates, schedules,
riders, adjustments, and other billing factors, all of which need
expert review. Otherwise, you may be paying substantially more than necessary
for the same service.
Today's utility invoices are more complex and harder to understand.
Rather than paying blindly, let an expert mine your company
data for opportunity in the form of refunds, credits and
ongoing price
reductions. With a contingency-based
fee, you pay only when you save money. There is no fee for the
review. Every dollar
saved goes right to the bottom line.
Our analysis is fully detailed and totally independent, as we have no ties to any particular supplier. This means that you will receive impartial recommendations allowing you to take full advantage of all cost options, regardless
of where you purchase. As prices change, our continuous analysis
will identify more savings dollars.
We also offer comprehensive on-site assessments
of equipment and consumption patterns, producing powerful
strategies to further reduce your company's utility bills.
