ElectricElectricOur auditors review past billing histories to determine correct rates.The electric industry is undergoing a revolution. Retail wheeling of electricity is being debated nationwide. The issues are complicated, and everyone seems to make valid points. However, the bottom line is whether or not your electric bill is being calculated correctly by your current service provider. At AUBA, we make sure your bill is being calculated correctly! We also determine if there is a way to reduce your per unit rates within the constraints of all applicable tariffs.Natural GasNatural GasOur auditors compare current market pricing to existing bills to maximize savings.AUBA has found many errors in how corporations calculate bills. These errors usually result in overcharges. Also, we have found errors in the how the local gas company calculates bills. The opportunity for a billing error has tremendously increased in this industry. AUBA knows what errors to look for, and how to secure you a refund for those overcharges! Our contingency-only audit is a great way to recover past billing errors and reduce future natural gas costs.

Detailed reports are provided.Our thermal cameras will:Locate and address heat losses in a new or existing building.Locate missing, improperly installed, wet, or damaged insulation in walls, floors, and ceilings.Troubleshoot problems in heating, cooling, and plumbing systems.Detect poor electrical connections, overloaded circuits, electrical imbalances.Regulatory AssetsStranded AssetsWhat are Stranded Assets?Financial assets that have been sent to regulatory agencies for "safe keeping" required by laws and tariff rules such as utility credits, refunds adjustments, including vendor and commercial refunds or overpayments. AUBA has been able to cross-reference these assets in national databases.SolarSolar Energy PlansOur auditors investigate the latest tariffs and federal regulations to reduce monthly costs using solar energy. Solar power is an environmentally friendly way to produce electricity. A typical 4 kW solar electric system will annually eliminate 10,000 lbs of CO2, 91 lbs of NO2, and 8 lbs of SO2 spewed into the environment. This is the equivalent to the pollution produced by driving a car 14,000 miles a year or the environmental benefit of planting 1.5 acres of trees.Along with the positive environmental impact, a well-designed solar electric system can also offer generous economic returns.Executive AssociateExecutive Associates ProgramAmerican Utility Bill Auditors, Inc. offers an Executive Associates Program, training and giving qualified individuals an opportunity to co-audit.

FAQfrequently asked questionsWhat is the initial cost of the audit?Does AUBA represent any utility / telecommunication vendors?Where does AUBA typically find billing errors?Is AUBA looking to change or switch my current vendors?Why do we need your services if we have an internal auditing staff reviewing our bills?What if my utilities and telecommunication bills have been recently audited by an outside firm?How far back can you secure refunds?What if AUBA finds no errors or savings?How much is a typical refund?How do we pay you?What would make the sharing stop prior to 36 months?I dont mind sharing the refunds you find us, BUT why do we have to share on the future cost reductions obtained by the audit?Thermal Imagesactual thermal imagingInfrared inspection of your facility can provide you with valuable information on the condition of your equipment that can save hundreds or thousands of dollars in costly repairs, downtime, and dangerous failures resulting in fires or explosions. An infrared inspection of an electrical distribution system is designed to identify potential equipment failures before they happen so the appropriate action can be taken.Resistance created by loose connections creates heat that can be imaged to show the exact location of the defect that will simplify repair and protect the adjacent components. This in turn will reduce cost of repair and potential down times.

FAQ 1frequently asked questionsWhat is the initial cost of the audit?The ONLY expense is in the time it takes to photocopy your utility bills and or faxing it to us at 561-477-3100. Some clients avoid this initial cost of time by just giving us their utility account numbers along with the vendors name that is responsible for the billing to your organization.We prefer the actual bill copies because this speeds up the reporting back to you our audit findings. It is also necessary to sign the letter of authority (LOA) so we can receive copies of billing and customer service records from your vendors.Signing the LOA and getting the account numbers should only take a few minutes! However, we still will need copies of one (1) to three (3) months of the most recent bills along with any service contracts and agreements that you might have signed when you initialized the service with any utility vendor.FAQ 2frequently asked questionsDoes AUBA represent any utility / telecommunication vendors? NO! AUBA is truly 100% independent and does not represent or is influenced by any commission structure. We only represent our clients and do not represent any utility / telecommunication vendors.FAQ 3frequently asked questionsWhere does AUBA typically find billing errors? Every audit case is different. AUBA finds errors in long distance telephone bills, local phone bills, maintenance contracts, operator services, cellular bills, directory assistance charges, equipment leases, natural / propane gas, electric and waste management contracts and charges.FAQ 4frequently asked questionsWhere does AUBA typically find billing errors? Every audit case is different. AUBA finds errors in long distance telephone bills, local phone bills, maintenance contracts, operator services, cellular bills, directory assistance charges, equipment leases, natural / propane gas, electric and waste management contracts and charges.FAQ 5frequently asked questionsIs AUBA looking to change or switch my current vendors? Absolutely NOT. Many clients want to save money, yet dont want to change vendors. AUBA will search all applicable tariffs of our clients' current vendor to find the most cost-effective method from the client's preferred vendor.FAQ 6frequently asked questionsWhy do we need your services if we have an internal auditing staff reviewing our bills?Many of our clients have large internal audit staffs and procedures to review their bills. However, AUBA has been successful in finding additional savings and refunds. We are simply another pair of professionally trained eyes looking at your bills...FAQ 7frequently asked questionsWhat if my utilities and telecommunication bills have been recently audited by an outside firm?AUBA has performed audits after other auditing companies have completed their work. In many cases, we have found additional savings / refunds. For example, regarding one client we found a refund for $40,000, plus monthly cost reductions that had been overlooked!FAQ 8frequently asked questionsHow far back can you secure refunds? In most states, the statute of limitations is normally three (3) years. However, in many cases we have been able to go beyond that time period. RECENTLY, new laws and tariffs have limited customers to only a few months or refunds based on the fact that if you pay your billings you are confirming that the bill has been rendered accurate. AUBA has established methodology to document refunds back to the date the error began.FAQ 9frequently asked questionsWhat if AUBA finds no errors or savings? If AUBA finds that all utility / telecommunications bills are correct, the client will receive a comprehensive report and there will be no fee paid to AUBA.FAQ 10frequently asked questionsHow much is a typical refund? Every case is different. AUBA has completed audits where the refund was as low as $55.00 and as high as almost $700,000.00.FAQ 11frequently asked questionsHow do we pay you? After you have received either a credit on your bill or a check payable to your organization would AUBA be entitled to the refund and sharing percentages. Only then will AUBA render our invoice. At that point, we will present your option of paying us our share either monthly, quarterly or lump sum with a discount. The responsibility is on us to always show how the savings were obtained and still being realized and in effect.We will NEVER create an expense to your organization! FAQ 12frequently asked questionsWhat would make the sharing stop prior to 36 months? If the savings stop the sharing stops!FAQ 13frequently asked questionsI dont mind sharing the refunds you find us, BUT why do we have to share on the future cost reductions obtained by the audit?Certain billing errors do not result in refunds! It is possible to be overcharged under a tariff and only have the current charges removed from your invoice. By removing the error, this then creates only savings going forward into the future.If a contingency agreement was for refunds only, then AUBA would not earn any audit fee. Especially when there are no refunds, we feel it is only fair compensation for our auditing efforts to share in our clients' future savings for a short period of time. It is our incentive to obtain refunds and future savings for our clients.Standard of Accuracystandard of accuracyOur corporate mission and standards at American Utility Bill Auditors, Inc. (AUBA) are simple: to accurately review utility billings and recommend savings wherever possible. Auditing is a human endeavor; we can provide positive results, but having two (2) way communication is 100% necessary, since we can never change anything unless you, the client, approve of it. We practice full confidentiality of all client records and information. Professional auditing and consulting for our clients is again a two (2) way street. It is standard for AUBA to be provided access to quarterly utility invoices by fax, mail, e-mail or on-line access, which is highly important to monitoring your utility costs. Before the audit begins, clients must advise us up-front of pending credits and also inform us if there are limits in any areas to audit. We must have 100% full communication in all areas to be successfully audited. Please contact us regarding any changes during the monitoring process so your account is duly noted while we are monitoring your accounts. We will respond and confirm all issues as your audit progresses. Clients may also call our main desk at 800-958-2882 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., or send an e-mail to admin_welooktosaveyoumoney.com. Customer relations can be also contacted at 561-852-1872 x 301.
