Utility Bill Evaluation in Louisville, KY

Many businesses overpay for energy without realizing it — wrong rate schedules, power factor penalties, demand charge spikes, and billing errors are more common than you think. We analyze your utility bills line by line to find money you're leaving on the table.
Who Should Get a Utility Evaluation?
Any business that hasn't reviewed their utility rate schedule in the past 3 years, facilities paying more than $3,000/month in electricity, buildings with demand charges exceeding 30% of their electric bill, operations running primarily during off-peak hours but not on a time-of-use rate, and businesses that have added or removed major equipment without notifying the utility.

Utility Bill Evaluation FAQs
How is this different from an energy audit?
A utility evaluation focuses specifically on your bills — rate schedules, billing structure, and utility-side opportunities. An energy audit examines your building's physical systems (lighting, HVAC, etc.). Both are valuable; utility evaluation is a quick, low-cost first step.
Can changing my rate schedule really save money?
Yes. Utilities offer multiple rate schedules for commercial customers. Many businesses are on a default rate that doesn't match their usage pattern. Switching to the right rate is free and can save 5-15% immediately.
What are common billing errors?
Incorrect rate schedule assignment, wrong meter multiplier, estimated reads that are never corrected, charges for disconnected services, and incorrect demand readings. These are more common than you'd expect.
Do I need to share my utility bills with you?
Yes — we need 12+ months of bills to perform a meaningful analysis. All information is kept confidential. We can also pull data directly from LG&E with your authorization.

We find money in your utility bills that you didn't know was there. Rate schedule optimization and power factor correction are low-hanging fruit that many businesses overlook because they don't understand utility billing structures. Our analysis is thorough, our recommendations are specific, and we help implement changes — not just write reports.
