You cannot stop the heat but you can shop solutions for your business bills.   There are energy brokers for commercial property who at various levels work with different utilities to see how they can get your business the best deal on electric service.  In Texas the process is started with a form commonly called an LOA.  This letter of authorization allows the broker access to your electric usage info, demand info etc..   This is then used by the broker to submit for compeitive bids on your behalf.  The brokers can get a better deal than you can when you have a real broker working for you.  They have relationships with the utilities and because they bring opportunity in volume get a better offer than you get.    The broker’s service is often free as the winning electric company compensates the broker for locating a qualified customer.

Ask questions before submitting a web form for free audits and that type of marketing approach.  If they tell you that after submitting your information several interested companies will call you then you don’t have a real broker, move on to the next company.

The broker should be spending the time and bring you a couple of choices not have you in the position of fielding a bunch of phones calls from utilities who got your name from a lead passed off by an energy marketer.  The broker will save you time and money.
