Our Simple, Four-Step Process:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Savings Analysis
URA 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.
4. 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.
