General FAQs
How do I get started?
We will tell you from the beginning if there is a potential for savings or not. We’d rather turn away business than waste your time and ours. Please contact us and we can determine within 10-15 minutes if it makes sense to go further.
What states do you work in?
Everywhere in the US. Some states work better for this than others and we can tell you if you contact us.
What can Auditek do that we cannot on our own?
Good question, and basically it comes down to this. The engineering staff of any company has enough to deal with each day maintaining operational efficiency. Equipment breaks down, weather problems create emergencies that have to be immediately fixed, and each day it’s always something different. For accounting departments there are endless reports and then state audits. Who has time to spend hours on the phone with the utility companies and research obscure Public Utility Commission rulings?
How long does this process take and what will this require on my part?
It usually takes about 3-4 months to complete a utility audit. Utility companies move quite slowly. All we need are copies of your bills for one month.
How do I know if I’m paying too much on my utility bills?
The simple answer is yes, you probably are. We find that at least 70% of businesses are.
How are you compensated?
All work is contingency based, and we’re compensated as a percentage of savings.
What are all your services?
We analyze the following utility costs: electricity, natural gas, water, sewage, garbage, and direct assessments. (Direct assessments are line items, like a storm drain charge, that appear on property tax bills in California.)
