"Working with SM Engineering has been a very rewarding experience. With little effort on my part, they have been able to obtain a sizable refund for my Company from the Duke Energy. Without their efforts we would have continued to over pay this bill. Thank for your help and insight."

“Our location isn’t a huge operation, yet you were able to recover thousands of dollars for us, in which we were unknowingly getting over-charged. That was very much appreciated in itself, but even more to our surprise and satisfaction, our monthly bills are consistently much lower than they were prior to SM Engineering Company looking into our account.”
