American Utility Consultants was founded in 1990 by Michael Lockhart, an electrical engineer, who realized that utility billing errors were common and utility companies were not required to place their customers on the most cost-effective rates. The concept was simple: to provide a utility bill auditing service on a contingency fee basis so clients would have no risk and American would have a high incentive to perform. Since then, it has grown into a leading national cost recovery and reduction company that has saved over a half billion dollars for its clients.

American Utility Consultants prides itself on building long-term relationships with its clients. After the initial audit is performed, we periodically re-audit accounts to uncover future utility billing errors and rate change opportunities. We have a proven track record of recovering significant refunds and billing reductions for 80% of our clients.
