Business Energy Advisory for Austin Small Business

Stop overpaying for the power that runs your business.

Electricity, natural gas, EV charging, and the infrastructure behind them — sourced the same way we source your technology. Texas is a deregulated market, which means you choose your supplier and your contract. We shop that market for you and manage the strategy after you sign.

What’s included

Everything you need to make an informed decision and get a solution that actually fits your business.

Electricity & natural gas contracts

Texas deregulation means your rate is negotiable. We run live pricing across suppliers and lock terms when the market is in your favour, not when your renewal notice happens to arrive.

Energy efficiency upgrades

Lighting, HVAC, and building envelope work that lowers consumption instead of just repricing it — usually the cheapest kilowatt is the one you never buy.

Distributed generation & solar

On-site generation sized to your actual load profile, so you cut both the bill and the exposure to the next price spike.

EV charging infrastructure

Certified chargers for staff, fleet, or customer parking, with software to set access rules, bill users, and track usage per port.

Water & waste management

Smart metering that catches leaks before they become damage, plus waste and recycling contracts priced against the market rather than rolled over.

Bill auditing & expense management

Every utility invoice on one platform with a no-cost audit against your contracted rate. Billing errors are common and rarely refunded unless someone catches them.

How it works

A clear, low-pressure process. We start with data — not a sales pitch.

1

Bill and usage review

We read your last 12 months of invoices to establish your real load profile, your contracted rate, your renewal date, and any billing errors already sitting on the account.

2

Market pricing

We run your profile across the supplier catalog using live pricing, and show you the options side by side — rate, term length, and what each one assumes about your usage.

3

Contract and timing

We recommend a term and a moment to sign based on forward market data, then handle the paperwork with the supplier you choose.

4

Ongoing management

We audit invoices against contracted rates, flag anomalies, and start the next market review well before your term expires.

Who this is for

Energy is the right fit if you match one of these profiles.

Multi-site businesses whose energy spend is now a top-three operating cost
Facilities with a contract renewal inside the next 12 months
Owners adding EV charging for fleet, staff, or customers
Businesses with sustainability commitments that still have to pencil out financially

Typical investment

No fee to you

Energy advisory is supplier-compensated, like the rest of our practice. Efficiency, solar, and EV charging projects are quoted per project, and we will always show you the payback period before you commit.

Send us your last utility bill. We will tell you what you are paying, what the market is paying, and whether it is worth doing anything about it right now.

Why Connectex vs. a single vendor

1

We are paid by the supplier, not by you

The same advisory model as the rest of your stack. You get market-wide pricing and a strategy without an hourly bill for the analysis.

2

Timing is most of the savings

Rates move constantly. We watch forward curves and renewal windows so you sign into a favourable market rather than whenever your current term happens to lapse.

3

One advisor for power and technology

Your building management sensors, IoT, and EV software are technology decisions that happen to sit on the energy bill. Sourcing both from one advisor keeps them from being solved twice.
