Utility Bill Analysis

Are you in the right rate?
Are you paying the right amount?

Experience has shown that many apartment complex, townhome, and duplex owners are paying more than is necessary on energy rates for their multi-family units.

Affordable Energy Solutions can help you:

• Determine the correct (lowest) rate you should be charged for energy use
• Receive credits on your future energy bills if you are currently being charged to high of an energy rate
• Find out if you are eligible for tax breaks on your energy bills

AES offers a Utility Bill Analysis to assist you in finding the cheapest rate through your energy provider for your particular multi-family unit. Utility pricing is a very complicated topic, and Xcel Energy has many different electricity rates. Also, these rates have an assortment of surcharges, taxes, fees, and tariffs.

At Affordable Energy Solutions, we understand the utility rate structure, and we are committed to helping you save money. The Utility Bill Analysis is designed to help you understand your costs, and potentially receive a credit on your utility bill for overpayment. This can provide a significant amount of savings each month!

Our energy efficiency experts do all of the work, providing you with a hassle free service. Also, any payment to AES is based on performance, so it will not cost you anything up front. While we do not guarantee that we will find anything, we are often successful in obtaining utility credits for our clients. If we secure a credit on your utility bill, we receive a portion of the initial savings. You will receive a larger portion as well as any future benefits. If we are unsuccessful in receiving a credit, you pay nothing!

Energy prices continue to increase at substantial rates. To stay competitive and profitable, finding ways to reduce your costs is worth exploring. Contact AES today to see if we can lower your utility payments.
