Services

Utility Reduction Analysts, Inc. is able to customize a utility savings analysis to meet your needs.  URA has been providing our clients with cost reductions, refunds, vendor interface and professional care for over 15 years.  Utility reduction options are presented to you in an easily understood format.  Our goal is to achieve the greatest savings possible for your organization.

ELECTRICITY

It is always wise to evaluate the cost you are paying for your electricity.  Most electric companies offer a variety of rates, based on different aspects of power usage, but the obligation of choosing the best rate is typically left up to the customer.  While you may have an account representative, they are likely to have a large number of clients to serve, and a limited amount of time.  URA works closely with your utility companies to ensure an electric rate analysis is accomplished regularly to secure the best rates and look for additional opportunities to reduce electric costs. 

NATURAL GAS

URA will first review your company's natural gas bills and contracts to ensure you are being billed appropriately.  The next step is to customize a purchasing plan that works for you.  Each program will be developed based on assessment of your risk profile, size of each location and a review of the ways you utilize natural gas.  Our goal is to find the best options available at the most effective price.

 

MANAGED GAS - Utility Reduction Analysts offers two managed gas services. 

 

URA’s Managed Transportation 

Utility Reduction Analysts manages the gas relationship between the client and vendor.  For these clients, we track the natural gas market, interface with your vendor and recommend when to buy gas.  We provide monthly reporting on your gas contracts and actual cost history.  Your company maintains full control while we provide you with gas buying options needed to make informed decisions.

 

URA’s Managed Choice

Small to mid-size companies may have the opportunity to participate in our aggregate gas pool.  This opportunity allows clients who are not large to transport gas to have control and options for their gas purchases instead of being subject to a monthly Gas Cost Recovery (GCR) which can change without warning.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS

With the vast number of telecommunications companies, undefined rates and fees, special codes and terms; telecom bills have become confusing for most businesses.  Even telecommunications budgeting has become a difficult task.  Utility Reduction Analysts takes the complexity out of your phone bills by breaking down your charges and commitments.  For the majority of our clients, after telecom auditing, we are able to identify options to reduce their phone bills.  We have also recovered significant telecommunication refunds for clients.  See URA’s Home Page for examples of telecom savings and refunds.

The cellular phone industry is equally confusing these days.  New innovations, upgrades in equipment, and managing usage can be a challenge.  Our knowledgeable staff can help you choose the right company and the right contract for your needs.  We often negotiate a better rate under your existing contract. 

MANAGED CELLULAR

Utility Reduction Analysts offers a managed cellular plan for clients so you can focus on your core business.  Most companies have someone dedicated to this time consuming and costly task.  Let URA monitor your bills each month to ensure you are charged the correct rates, provide monthly reports, and make suggestions regarding changes to your plan before they snowball out of control.  We can also coordinate all of your additions, deletions or equipment orders as needed.

WASTE

We review your waste systems and audit for potential efficiencies.  We also specialize in helping organizations with recycling methods.  URA can help to optimize your waste/disposal with regards to weight and transportation.  We can even turn part of your waste expense into a revenue stream.

WATER AND SEWER

There are a number of factors involved with your water and sewer charges (fluctuating charges with seasons, steam-based heating, and high usage levels) which contribute to hidden savings.  Water and sewer departments expect the customer to discover options and implement changes. Utility Reduction Analysts will track your usage trends and identify options to lower your utility bills.
