As utility auditors, we are witness to the full extend of monopolistic bureaucracy whenever we deal with a major utility. Critiques of power companies throughout the nation are certainly earned, and we found this one from Jac VerSteeg of the South Florida Sentinel to be particularly judicious.
Ernestine, one of Lily Tomlin’s most hilarious characters, made devastating fun of the Bell system phone monopoly. One sketch featured Ernestine strolling through a high-tech control center. “Here at the phone company,” she says, “we handle 84 billion calls a year, serving everyone from presidents and kings to the scum of the earth.” She says the company realizes that sometimes customers can’t reach an operator, find their phone is out of order or are billed for calls they didn’t make. “We don’t care,” Ernestine says. “We don’t have to. We’re the phone company.”
With the breakup of the “Ma Bell” monopoly in the early 1980s, all that has changed. Now phone companies engage in savage competition for services that are radically different. But the spirit of arrogant monopoly utilities continues. Ernestine’s applause line now could be: “We don’t care. We don’t have to. We’re the power company.” Florida Power & Light is a good example. I’ll grant that FPL delivers reliable, reasonably priced electricity. But FPL’s attitude is becoming too Bell-like. They don’t compete for customers. They compete for lawmakers and regulators. And they are winning….
Every year, there are thousands and thousands of cases – ranging from modest to the extreme when it comes to utility overcharges.
At times, these become public – such as the controversy in North Carolina regarding the utility company’s ability to charge customers at a high tax rate that no longer exists.
Most often, however, these kinds of overcharges go completely undetected. It never ceases to amaze us how often people will complain about the costs of their utilities, and never realize just how right they are.
For those who take the next step and call a Utility Auditing Specialist, it is rare not to find at least one error, inappropriate rate, or improper tax classification. With over 150 components to every utility bill, there are at least 150 chances per bill that you are being overcharged – and that’s before checking the meter’s accuracy.
Remember that in companies as large and bureaucratic as utility companies, especially those with no local competition, have about ZERO interest in providing you the best possible service at the best possible price.
That’s where we come in. We have decades of experience navigating the murky depths of Utility Bills. If you think you’re being overcharged, don’t hesitate to call Paul Steberger of Applied Utility Auditors TODAY.
Did you know that utility companies often have more than one rate for commercial/business clients? Guess what? They don’t hand out the best rates automatically.
