Why is my bill so high?

If you manage multiple buildings, you might be asking that every month!

Energy use changes with the weather, occupancy, operating hours, production schedules and plenty of other factors. The bill doesn't tell the whole story, but load profiling can help fill in the blanks.

We look at historical usage and the factors affecting it, so you can build a clearer picture of how much energy a building should use and spot when something doesn’t look right.

Load Profiling Analysis & Budget Creation Services - Solution 105 We help you forecast energy consumption so you can know exactly how much to charge your tenants for electricity, natural gas, and water usage.

Are you paying the right amount on your building's utility bills?
It’s worth checking.

Utility bills can get complicated quickly, especially when you’re managing multiple properties, meters, rates and charges. And sometimes, what you’re billed isn’t what you should have been billed.

A utility bill audit looks beyond the total at the details to identify discrepancies, billing errors and potential overcharges.

If you'd like a second look at your bills, reach out to Solution 105 about a utility bill audit. Small errors can add up to high costs, so let's make sure you aren't being overcharged.
