12. What should I know to be comfortable making this decision?
Bluntly, the best thing you should do is to determine what you need to know in order to have confidence that the decision to work with The First Energy Group is the right one. This is a business decision you have to make. And, everyone has their own style, expectations and standards. Now, with that in mind let us offer some insight.
First of all review your proposal. You should understand exactly what we are offering you and determine if it has value to you. You should question anything that you are uncomfortable with or do not understand. Do some spot checks on our Schedule A (equipment listings). Specifically, look and see if the hours the equipment is running look realistic. This is usually the largest source of inaccuracy. And, while we don’t expect everyone to be an engineer you should look at least a couple of the line items to see what we’re doing and understand why you’re going to see savings.
Beyond the proposal you may want to browse around our Internet site. We have lots of information here, links to other resources, and points you may want to consider. It’s very important that your Energy Manager makes sure that you get answers to all of your questions and provides you whatever information you are looking for. We want you to understand what we are offering you. Finally, if you need to check any of our references please feel free to do so. We were amazed by one prospect that showed us how rigorous they were by presenting us with a “formal” review of our references. They took a large chunk of our references, called every one of them, and interviewed them on all they key questions they felt important, made a table and then tallied all their responses. We passed with flying colors.
