Utility Bill Management is the foundation for all other services because of the critical information inherent in utility bills. We work with clients in the collection, data entry, audit and management of their utility information. The objective is to establish an energy management program that reduces utility expenditures throughout the client’s portfolio.

The utility data is available via our internet-based software. Clients are provided a unique identification and password to ensure all information is secure. Copies of all utility bills are archived for review as needed. Burton clients have the capability to allow different personnel right of entry to specific parts of the bill management database. We are readily available to offer assistance in addressing cost and usage questions and to provide navigational help.

Specific, bottom-line findings and recommendations that are a result of the utility bill management service include:

  • Rate Analysis: confirming that all client facilities are in the most competitive rate class
  • Surety Deposits: leveraging account relationships and historical billing practices to waive deposits
  • Utility Metering and Billing Errors: identifying issues and working with utilities to recover client overpayment
  • Facility Equipment Issues: identifying leaks and inefficient equipment
