EcS+, a woman-owned cost savings and efficiency firm, has launched its Energy Expense Reduction Services to assist businesses across 17 states in managing and reducing their energy bills. This announcement comes at a crucial time as commercial electricity rates have nearly doubled over the past two decades, placing a significant financial strain on businesses, especially small enterprises.
Small businesses are acutely affected by rising energy costs, which elevate the expense of running equipment and maintaining a comfortable environment. Harilaos Aspromatis of the Verona American Grill in Verona, New Jersey, recently partnered with EcS+ and achieved a 38.5% reduction in electricity costs and a 13% decrease in gas expenses.
"The efficiency experts at EcS+ were easy to work with and implementation was seamless," said Mr. Aspromatis.
EcS+ operates in the 17 states with deregulated electric markets, breaking the monopoly of utilities on electricity and gas supply by allowing clients to competitively shop for the best prices. The firm specializes in reducing electric and natural gas expenses for a diverse range of clients, including corporations, hospitals, non-profit organizations, and municipalities, without requiring any changes to their current utility service or billing structure.
Businesses engaging EcS+ can expect several key benefits:
- Maintaining the same energy service and billing structure at a reduced cost.
- Unobtrusive reviews of electric and natural gas expenses to identify savings opportunities.
- Assistance in competitively shopping for electric and gas supply, ensuring the best possible price.
- Service coverage in states including CA, CT, DE, IL, ME, MD, MA, MI, MT, NH, NJ, NY, OH, OR, PA, RI, and TX.
On average, EcS+ saves businesses 15% to 30% annually on their energy bills. This substantial savings rate has resulted in a remarkable 96% client retention rate.
EcS+ employs a unique vendor compensation structure, receiving its payment directly from vendors rather than clients. This model ensures impartiality and non-exclusivity, providing clients with unbiased service at no direct cost.
With no downside risk or obligation for clients, EcS+ offers a risk-free opportunity to significantly reduce energy expenses, a critical advantage in the face of escalating energy prices.
