UtiliSave

What UtiliSave does

UtiliSave LLC, founded in 1991 and headquartered in Southampton, New York, is a privately held forensic utility bill auditing and recovery firm. The company analyzes gas, electric, steam, water, and sewer bills across commercial portfolios using a proprietary regression analysis methodology (branded BillAudit™) to identify five recurring error categories: misapplied tariff or rate class assignments, data and meter-read errors, missed exemptions and special programs, tax misapplications, and tariff optimization opportunities. The firm has audited 16,000+ buildings and claims $700M+ in cumulative client recoveries, with recoverable findings in 94% of audits.

UtiliSave operates exclusively on a contingency-based revenue model under which clients pay nothing unless overpayments are successfully recovered; the firm additionally guarantees a $10,000 charitable donation if it fails to deliver agreed results. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise sales targeting property managers, CFOs, and energy managers at large energy consumers, supported by free forensic audits as the lead conversion mechanism. The customer base spans healthcare and hospital systems, commercial real estate, higher education, hospitality, manufacturing, government, religious institutions, and ESCOs, with named enterprise clients including Silverstein Properties, NYU, SeaWorld, Cushman & Wakefield, Archdiocese of NY, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Beyond its core BillAudit™ service, UtiliSave offers add-on modules including Benchmarking, EnergyStar Requirements compliance, Mandatory Carbon Limits compliance, and bundled Commercial Energy Management, as well as digital tools (a Value Calculator and the proprietary UtiliSave Overpayment Index). The company is founder-owned, has no disclosed external funding or parent company, operates from a single domestic office, and has no public API, mobile app, or disclosed headcount.

Core offering

UtiliSave performs forensic auditing of commercial utility bills (gas, electric, steam, water, sewer) using a proprietary regression analysis methodology to identify billing errors such as wrong tariff/rate class, data/meter read errors, missing exemptions, tax misapplication, and tariff optimization opportunities. The company then pursues refunds directly with utilities on the client's behalf under a contingency fee arrangement — clients pay nothing unless money is recovered. The firm has operated since 1991 and reports $700M+ in cumulative recoveries across 16,000+ buildings.

Others

• Yardi: Yardi's commercial real estate software suite includes utility and energy management modules used by many of the same property owners and managers UtiliSave serves (e.g., Silverstein, Cushman & Wakefield). It is an adjacent technology platform rather than a direct auditor, but increasingly enables self-service utility analytics that competes with UtiliSave's value proposition.
• RealPage: RealPage provides multifamily and commercial property management software with utility billing, energy management, and analytics modules. As with Yardi, it serves overlapping buyer personas and is embedding more utility-data functionality that could reduce reliance on third-party auditors like UtiliSave.

Broad incumbents

• Schneider Electric: Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure and resource advisor products cover utility bill management, energy benchmarking, and carbon/sustainability reporting for commercial and industrial customers. It is a broad incumbent with capabilities that overlap UtiliSave's benchmarking, EnergyStar, and carbon compliance offerings, though bundled into a much wider portfolio.
• JLL: JLL's Energy and Sustainability Services group provides utility data management, energy procurement, and compliance support to large corporate and CRE clients — the same enterprise and government buyers UtiliSave targets. It competes as part of a much broader facilities and real estate services portfolio.
• CBRE: CBRE's Energy, Sustainability and ESG advisory practice serves institutional real estate owners with utility expense management, benchmarking, and sustainability reporting. It overlaps with UtiliSave's larger CRE and government engagements, and can package utility audit as part of broader asset services contracts.
• Ameresco: Ameresco is an established energy services and efficiency firm serving commercial, industrial, government, and education customers — the same verticals UtiliSave targets. While its core is EPC and renewables, its energy management and reporting capabilities overlap with UtiliSave's compliance-adjacent services.
• ENGIE Impact: ENGIE Impact (formerly Ecova) is a large-scale energy and sustainability services provider that handles utility data management, bill processing, and energy program administration for enterprise customers. It competes in the same broad space as UtiliSave but operates as a multi-product incumbent rather than a niche audit specialist.

Direct peers

• Power TakeOff: Power TakeOff is a utility bill auditing and energy management firm serving multi-site commercial and industrial customers, with a similar contingency-based recovery model and emphasis on finding overpayments. Directly comparable to UtiliSave in target buyer, service mechanic, and value proposition.
• Younger Associates: Younger Associates is a utility cost recovery and energy consulting firm focused on identifying overcharges and errors in commercial and industrial utility bills. Its service mechanics — forensic bill review and contingency recovery for large energy users — closely mirror UtiliSave's core BillAudit model.
• EnergyCAP: EnergyCAP provides utility bill tracking and energy management software for commercial, institutional, and government customers — including bill auditing workflows. It overlaps with UtiliSave's BillAudit offering but is more software/SaaS-oriented, making it a direct peer on the audit use case and a natural adjacent competitor on recurring monitoring.
