Our Simple, Four-Step Process:
Initial Meeting
We meet (or web conference) for 30-60 minutes to review your history,
utility spending, decision-making, and procurement process. We can
discuss any unresolved issues, past analysis, staff limitations, and
billing or vendor concerns.
Record Gathering
You provide URA with a
signed agreement, two letters of authorization, 12 months of your gas,
water, sewer, trash and electric bills, and 2 months of your
telecommunications bills.
Savings Analysis
Utility Reduction Analysts
conducts extensive research to reduce utility bills including: tariff
and rate analysis, and cost comparisons. Following the audit, URA
presents a savings strategy (typically 6-12 weeks after bills are
received). We will discuss savings options, available refunds, and
confirm an implementation process as none of our recommendations are
mandated. URA is here to serve you.
Continued Care
Once we activate your
savings and refunds, we continue to evaluate for further savings
opportunities. We handle the follow-up with vendors to ensure all
refunds and savings are processed appropriately—all at no additional
cost.
