NUR’s Utility Auditing Service
Verify how you are billed on your Electric (Including 3rd party bill verification) Natural Gas Water/Sewer Telecommunications (local, long distance, cellular, and Internet.) What we do is audit the electric, natural gas, water/sewer and telecommunication invoices for billing discrepancies, erroneous charges, and overcharges. In summary, what an audit will do for you is obtain any money owed to you and identify the money you do not need to pay on a monthly basis. “We will obtain the money owed to you and identify the money your are paying on a monthly basis that you do not need to owe, at no out of pocket cost!”

The Three Areas of Bill Cost Savings
Where does an audit “fit in” The Three Areas of Bill Cost Savings Lower how much you are paying per unit. Reduce how much you consume Remove unnecessary monthly charges and obtain a refund on billing discrepancies As you may already know, there are essentially three ways you can reduce your utility expenses. 1. You can pay less for what you are using, “switching energy” or instead of paying five cents per min. for telecom. You can pay four cents per min. 2. You can reduce how much you use by retrofitting lights and becoming more energy efficient. The 3rd aspect is what we are going to take a look at- remove unnecessary charges you do not need to owe and obtain a refund on errors and discrepancies you are paying for.

Utility Bill Complexities & Regulations
Most of the time, if the bill is trending and in line with the budget, it gets paid without question. Bills are Coded into Tariffs and USOC Codes. The burden is placed on the consumer to report any billing discrepancies or cost saving opportunities. *The statute of limitation in most states is 36 months. Through out our experience, most customers pay the utility bills without question if the bill is bill is trending, in line with the budget, and not flag as an outlier. This not only occurs in small businesses but it also in fortune 500 companies. With that in mind, 80% of our audits result in some sort of findings. The reason being, is because the bills are coded into tariffs and usoc codes which is an industry language that requires industry experience to translate and decode. The real kicker is that the utility companies put the burden on you, the consumer, to identify errors and discrepancies. Also, they have a 36 month limitation on reporting errors, which means anything beyond the limitation is lost to the utility companies forever.

Example Telecom Bill As you can see, this is a simple telecom bill where one may compare the total amount due to the monthly budget. As you scroll through the bill it looks like they are listing all of the charges you are paying, however, the only way to truly identify whether these charges are accurate if you pull the customer service records from the provider.

Customer Service Records
As you can see in the customer service records the USOC codes are written in an industry language. This is what we will be taking a look at while we audit your bills.

Example Electric Tariff
This an electric tariff which is also written in the complex industry language and can change several times throughout the year.

Utility Audit Process Completely Offsite! Performed using bill copies!
Time frame is 6-8 weeks to complete! We prepare all reporting documents! In regards to the audit process, our audit is performed completely offsite using the bill copies and by pulling records from the utility companies. The audit itself takes approximately 6-8 weeks and at the end of the audit we will provide a report that shows any money owed to you in refunds as well as any overcharges or unnecessary charges you can remove. After you review the finding report, you can then decide what you would like to move forward with and we will implement the findings. A final report will presented at the end of the audit and the customer will have final say over which findings they want to move forward with.
10
Refunds and Reductions
If we obtain a refund, you will receive 50% of the refund! If we remove unnecessary charges that create a reduction in the bill, -You will receive 50% of the reduction for up to 24 months, then you keep 100% of the reduction forever! -For example. If we remove a $50 monthly charge on a telecom bill, we will ask for $25 for each month you receive the reduction, for up to 24 months. On the refunds you move forward with, we ask to share in them at 50%. For the unnecessary overcharges you decide to remove, we ask to share in the reduction you actually receive at 50% for up to 24 months. For example, if we remove $50 in overcharges, we will ask for $25 a month for up to 24 month then you keep the reductions forever. If we find nothing, we walk away with nothing. Therefore, we are only paid on what you move forward with and when you receive it.

Types of Findings At NUR we only will point out true and uncontested findings that add directly to your bottom line. We are only compensated on what you decide to move forward with. If we do not find any refunds or reductions, there is still no charge to the client! We will monitor the bills online to verify when refund/credit has been implemented. As far as the types of findings, we only present true and uncontested findings that add directly to your bottom line. If there is something you do not want to move forward with, you are not required to move forward with it. Therefore at the end of the audit, you will either continue paying exactly what you have been paying to the utility each month or you will end up paying less and receiving a check in the mail. Mr. Prospect, can you see how the audit will never cost you anything? What questions do you have?
