🔎 Why Utility Costs Deserve a Second Look
🧾 Utility Bills Often Contain Costly Errors
Industry experts estimate that 1 in 6 utility bills include mistakes worth refunds or credits — but most go unnoticed
by organizations.
📉 Many Energy Projects Achieve Only 50% of Projected Savings
Independent evaluations from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory show that energy upgrades often achieve only half of their projected savings — making financial analysis and second opinions critical before implementation.
💡 30% Potential Savings with Energy Upgrades
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, most commercial buildings can reduce utility costs by up to 30% through efficient energy improvements.
📖 Knowledge is Power
Buildings that regularly benchmark their energy use can save up to 14% over time — while also avoiding costly state and/or municipal penalties and noncompliance fees.

Utility Bill Auditing
Find and recover overcharges hiding in your utility bills.
(Contingency-Based, Risk-Free)
Peak Utility Advisors reviews your utility accounts — including electric, gas, water, sewer, waste, phone, internet, and more — to identify overcharges, billing errors, and misclassifications. If we find opportunities, we negotiate directly with your providers to secure refunds, credits, and future savings. You only pay if we save you money. We help organizations nationwide recover thousands in billing errors and overcharges.
Rate Plan Assessment
Reduce costs by identifying the lowest possible utility rates for your usage.
(Contingency-Based, Risk-Free)

We identify better alternatives and work with providers to implement changes — with no upfront cost.

Energy Procurement & Supply Contract Advisory
Secure lower cost and competitive electricity and natural gas supply pricing—without the hidden escalators, index risks, or contract traps.
(No Cost to Client)
Peak Utility Advisors helps organizations evaluate and secure electricity and natural gas supply contracts in deregulated markets. We analyze fixed, indexed, or variable pricing offers using your actual energy usage and model total cost impacts to confirm pricing is structured to reduce costs and avoid unexpected increases under current market conditions. Unlike traditional energy brokers, we focus on risk, contract terms, and long-term cost certainty before enrollment. Our advisory-first approach ensures supply contracts only move forward when they deliver real, measurable savings.
ENERGY STAR® Benchmarking & Building Performance
Track, compare, and improve your building’s energy performance.
(Hourly Engagements)
We benchmark your building's energy use against similar properties using the nationally recognized ENERGY STAR® framework. This helps identify savings opportunities, meet compliance requirements, and position your property as a sustainability leader. More than 50 state and local governments across the U.S. mandate annual energy benchmarking — including municipalities like Denver, Boulder, Aspen, NYC, Boston, Chicago, Portland, and Seattle — with specific requirements and penalties varying by jurisdiction.
We work with the largest investor-owned utilities, municipal providers, and electric cooperatives across Colorado, the Mountain West, and nationwide.
