Utility Audits for Apartment Buildings

Experience Based Utility Audits

As prior Property Managers ourselves, we know that utilities are almost always the largest single expense category on any apartment building’s annual budget. Utilities are always the largest uncontrollable expense. If gas, electric, water, sewer, trash or telephone rates increase, you are stuck footing the bill. Even if rates remain constant, seasonal weather extremes or changes in consumption can cause wide fluctuations in the cash flow. These bills appear every month all year long, and we are expected to pay them or else lose the service.

Importance of Validating Utility Bills

Most people, no matter how sophisticated they are, rarely ever question the validity of these telephone or utility bills. Why? They simply don’t have the information necessary to analyze these bills intelligently. So utility customers continue to pay the bills month after month without question. These utility and telephone bills already represent a sizable percentage of total operating costs, and year after year bills continue to spiral ever upward. Utility and telephone bills were once thought of as uncontrollable expenses. But now with proper monitoring, these utility costs can be controlled with utility audits. The result of a utility audit can be MORE MONEY AND BETTER CASH FLOW FOR YOUR APARTMENT BUILDING!
