Services
Advisory for every part of your energy picture.
Six core services. Fixed fees quoted before work begins. No equipment sales, no commissions — just analysis and recommendations you can act on.
Advisory only — for clarity
Best Energy Advisor is a consulting and advisory firm, not a utility or contractor. We do not generate, transmit, sell or supply electricity, and we do not perform installation or construction work. Where hands-on implementation is required, our reports define the scope so licensed contractors of your choosing can price and execute it.
Service 01
Energy Audits & Assessments
The foundation of everything else. We build a defensible picture of where your energy — and your money — actually goes, then rank the fixes by payback.
- Walkthrough through full Level 3 audit, structured to ASHRAE 90.1 methodology
- Thermal imaging and air-leakage survey of building envelope and mechanical spaces
- Utility bill and submeter data review (12–36 months where available)
- Prioritized measure list with cost, payback and risk estimates
- Executive summary written for the decision-maker, full data in appendices
Service 02
Electrical & Power Systems Consulting
Power infrastructure decisions are expensive to get wrong and painful to reverse. We review the numbers before you commit capital — or before the utility tells you there's no room to grow.
- Load studies and service capacity analysis for expansions and equipment additions
- Power factor correction and harmonic review — demand charges don't wait for you
- Switchgear, transformer and distribution system condition assessment
- Backup and generator system planning for critical loads
- Single-line diagram review for renovations and code-related upgrades
Service 03
Solar & Renewable Feasibility
When a vendor hands you a solar quote, you deserve an independent read on it. We check the sizing, the interconnection path and the real economics before you sign anything.
- Photovoltaic sizing and roof/structure suitability review
- Utility interconnection pathway review, including queue realities
- Net metering and compensation analysis under your current tariff
- Storage (battery) screening for peak shaving and resilience
- Independent verification of vendor quotes and projected production
Service 04
Utility Bill & Rate Optimization
Commercial tariffs are dense, riders change every year, and demand charges can quietly swallow the savings from a bigger project. We read the fine print so you don't pay for it.
- 12–24 month tariff and rate-class review of your actual bills
- Demand charge and peak-load analysis, with reduction strategies
- Rider, fuel-adjustment and incentive reconciliation line by line
- Rate switch and contract timing recommendations where they pay
- Support for billing disputes and error claims with your utility
Service 05
Incentive & Rebate Navigation
Incentive money is real money, but the paperwork is where it usually dies. We know which programs your project qualifies for and how to present it so it gets approved the first time.
- Eligibility screening across state and utility programs (DE-EEA, Delmarva Power, DUC and others)
- Pre-investment review coordination before you commit capital
- Application preparation with the documentation reviewers actually ask for
- Stacking analysis — where multiple incentives can combine, and where they can't
- Post-project verification support so the check actually arrives
Service 06
Energy Management & Reporting
What gets measured gets managed. We set up the visibility so your team sees problems in month one instead of at the year-end invoice — and can prove their results.
- Submetering strategy and M&V plan structured per IPMVP
- Building controls and BAS performance assessment
- KPI dashboards and ongoing utility bill monitoring
- Scope 1 & 2 emissions baselining for ESG and tenant reporting
- Post-project verification that commissioned savings actually landed
Not sure which service fits? That's what the scoping call is for.
Tell us what you're seeing — a bill that keeps climbing, a tenant asking for solar, an upgrade that keeps getting more expensive — and we'll tell you what we'd measure first.
