scope of services
Utility Bill Audit
We audit utility bills for errors and overcharges and work to
secure refunds on your behalf. By analyzing your organization’s
specific operating and usage characteristics against all available
utility plans, we can determine whether you are on the lowest-
cost plan for your business. If you aren’t, we will work with your
provider to move your organization to the lowest-cost plan for
ongoing savings.

- Water/Sewer
- Natural Gas
Retail Energy Procurement
In deregulated markets where customers are eligible to shop for energy from retail suppliers, we work on your behalf to obtain competitive pricing from all of the top suppliers. We help you evaluate your options in the context of your organization’s procurement goals and operating
needs.
Utility Rate Case Intervention
Most utility providers are regulated monopolies with rates that must be approved by a public utilities commission. UMS has successfully intervened before utility commissions for more favorable rate structures on behalf of our clients, creating millions of dollars in savings for our clients and others.
Have you ever asked any of the following questions? Then Our Services Are right for you!
UMS can help lower energy and operational costs by
identifying and correcting errors and overcharges on your utility bills.
Through our off-site analysis, we can help you secure any money you
are due from historical overcharges and ensure ongoing savings, all
requiring no operational changes.
There are many ways to manage your facility’s utility costs/spending. On-site energy audits can identify opportunities to reduce energy usage. The use of bill management platforms and monitoring solutions can provide insight into key drivers of your costs and enable more efficient bill payment so that you avoid late fees. Another natural and no-cost complement to these is a utility bill analysis to ensure your organization is on the lowest-cost utility plan.
Many energy projects require upfront capital investment, such as lighting or equipment upgrades or solar panel installation. Our utility bill analyses, however, require no out-of-pocket expense. Furthermore, any savings we find for your organization can free up the budget for other energy projects, or just simply increase your bottom line.
Right here! Our team of in-house energy experts work with you to understand your organization’s energy procurement goals, obtain competitive pricing bids on your behalf, help you evaluate your options and ultimately secure energy contracts that best suit the needs of your organization. Whether you want to be solely powered by renewable energy or are seeking the lowest-cost plan, we can help.
Many utility customers are not aware that alternative rate plans may be available to them, so if you are asking this question you are already one step ahead! However, utility rate structures are complex and, as a result, many customers miss out on simple savings opportunities. UMS was founded to navigate this complexity for our clients and ensure you are spending as little as possible. We work to find the best pricing/rate for your business out of the numerous complex options available.
There are multiple factors behind the rise in energy prices. Rising fuel costs, supply chain volatility, and grid infrastructure investments are just a few. Utility Management Services aims to help our clients secure the lowest energy pricing possible in the face of these rising costs.
Utility bills are complex. There are multiple components that can contribute to your bills such as facility charges, demand charges, energy charges, power factor, load factor, usage patterns, and more. These charges add up quickly. Our team of certified energy analysts understands all these factors and how they relate to your operations, specifically, which allows us to uncover potential savings.
