FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) about utility bill audits & refunds.

How do I know if I am being overcharged or have errors that will result in a utility refund?

Over 80% of the invoice audits performed by NUR have contained at least some overcharges and errors that will result in a utility refund.  The only way to know if you are being overcharged or if your bills contain errors is to perform a utility audit by a specialist or the overcharges will continue to accrue. Utility refunds are obtained on errors billed on the historical invoices but most utility providers required the findings to be presented within 36 months of the error billed in order to issue the utility refund.

Can my accounts payable department perform the audit?

Utility and telecom charges are coded into several different languages specific to the Industry; therefore, it is virtually impossible to review the bills for accuracy unless the auditor is trained in the field.  Only trained utility specialists who understand how to decode and translate the utility billing language will be able to effectively audit the bills for accuracy and communicate with the utility provider to correct the errors. Also, many utility providers will not issue a utility refund for the billing discrepancy uncovered unless proper documentation is filed.  Our professional utility bill auditors will maximize the utility refund by providing off the necessary documentation to the utility provider.

Who is eligible to have a utility audit performed?

Any commercial business, non-profit, municipality, or facility that has been billed a utility expense for at least 1 year. Some industries are more error-prone than others. However, we recommend having a utility bill audit performed every 3 years to ensure that any utility refunds that may be owed to you do not expire from the statute of limitation.

Are there any obligations to have a utility bill audit performed?

No.  At the end of the utility bill audit we will present a finding report detailing utility refunds, overcharges, unnecessary charges, and optional meter classifications .  The client has final say over what reductions and utility refunds they would like to have our team implement.  Our compensation is tied to the actual utility refunds and cost-savings received from the findings the client authorizes us to implement.

If errors are found not in my favor, will they be reported?

No.  We will not report any errors found that have the potential to increase your utility expenses.  We will notify the client of these errors, however, we strictly audit to benefit the client.
