This is the total sum of all the time your team currently spends requesting, tracking, and managing the temporary and permanent meters for each site in a de-regulated area (approximately 90% of the Texas population).
And the time increases to over 6 hours for sites in regulated electricity areas, with their more complex processes.
Your team currently have to make multiple phone calls chasing progress updates, wait on hold, send emails & attachments, wrangle permits, and resolve various other delays. Plus arrange and confirm account closure or transfer to the home owner before closing day.
If the person doing this work earns an annual salary around $52,000, that means you're currently paying $112.67 in labor costs for every single de-regulated site to arrange the electricity connection.
Or $225.33 per regulated site, which take longer due to their more complex processes and Utility responsiveness.
But UtilityOn will handle all this for you, for FREE in de-regulated areas (or $125 per home in regulated areas where there is no Retailer funding to subsidize our costs, which are increased by the higher level of complexity involved).
So if you build 20 homes in de-regulated areas per year,
UtilityOn will save you $2,253 annually ($2,007 in regulated
areas after fees).
For 100 home builds, you save $11,267 ($10,033 regulated).
And for 500 home builds, you save $56,333 ($50,167 regulated).
Every year.
And so on... Plus your builds start quicker and your staff are happier and less stressed because they can focus on more important work instead of waiting on hold with the Utility.
These are typical real world figures, based on standard 25% on-costs (benefits, insurance, training & taxes etc) and 10 days paid vacation per year.
