Uncovering Lost Savings Since 1982
For business growth, you need to watch every penny. If not monitored closely, gas, electric and water costs can take a huge bite out of profits. Since 1982, SM Engineering has been helping companies large and small uncover lost savings by finding better rates, billing errors, missed credits, refunds, and more. Here’s how:
3 Steps to Saving Thousands
Utility Bill Analysis
We’ll carefully study your gas, electric, water bills for possible errors, meter constancy, ratchet clauses, demand charges, seasonal applications, and city/state charges. We’ll also look for allowed exemptions and work with all parties to secure a refund.
Rate Option Analysis
Our experts will review different utility rate options and recommend the appropriate rate schedule for your usage at the lowest cost. And we don’t stop there! We’ll continue to monitor your bills for the length of your agreement.
Ongoing Communication
SM Engineering will monitor your bills for the duration of our contract, and collect everything related to your account in one easily accessible place on our client portal. Access to the portal is always available to you and is password protected.

We're Here to Provide Answers.
How will SM Engineering work with us?
It’s simple. Send us your most recent monthly utility bills for electricity, gas, water and sewer for a free initial review! If we find that everything is in order, we’ll get back to you stating that you’re being charged appropriately, and that’s it. If we think you’d do better on a different rate, or think you are being overcharged, we’ll notify you and send you an authorization allowing us to perform an audit and monitor your utility charges. Read it over, sign it, mail it back, and we’ll begin the process of researching, finding billing adjustments and claiming refunds. We can also work with you to find potential savings from tax credits based on your business and engineering processes.
How much will I be charged for this service?
That’s the beauty of this system. You don’t pay us anything out of your current budget. Our fees are 50% of any savings or refunds we find for you. Fees are due only after you have received the actual savings.
Why are businesses overpaying on their utility bills?
Many factors figure into utility bills, and each type of utility constructs their rates differently. As a result of the complexity of this process, many companies rely on the utility companies to select their rates. SM Engineering works with rate structures on a daily basis. Our access to information and our experience are the best resources you’ll find to reduce your charges.
Couldn’t we analyze and audit our bills in-house?
How can SM Engineering assist me with a sales tax exemption?
SM Engineering has been doing predominant use studies since 1984 and has extensive knowledge of state laws, engineering, and the legal proceedings in this matter. We are staffed with professional engineers and certified energy managers to provide these studies. See a brief requirement for each state.
