Utility Cost Management LLC is a firm that seeks to reduce clients’ electricity, gas, water, sewer and solid waste charges through the informed application of utility regulations. With its Bill Analysis ServiceSM, UCM expertly applies utility regulations to customers’ bills to uncover errors. If UCM finds a billing error, it will correct the error going forward and recover a refund for past overcharges. If the utility disputes UCM’s findings, UCM may take the matter up with the Public Utilities Commission. When billing errors are corrected, UCM receives a percentage of the corresponding refunds and savings.  If UCM fails to reduce clients’ utility costs, then the Bill Analysis ServiceSM is free. UCM provides a variety of other services as well, all of them designed to save clients’ time and money in dealing with their utilities. These services include helping customers with utility-related disputes; checking the accuracy of line extension charges; receiving, tracking and paying customers’ utility bills; and intervening in Public Utilities Commission proceedings to change existing utility regulations.
