TADA Member & Chairman Elect on TADA Board of Directors

“Boggus Ford began working with APPI  through the Utility Audit Service.  We saved $3,540 in one month and expect to lower our operating expenses by more than $28,000 over the next two years.  The best aspect of the program is that it is completely contingency based.  APPI asks for no up-front fees or retainers to provide the service.

After the audit, our electricity contract came up for renewal.  I was familar with the APPI Electricity Program offered through TADA and had the opportunity to meet the APPI folks on several occasions.  APPI helped Boggus renegotiate its electricity contract and by leveraging its various suppliers, APPI reduced our rates.

Boggus focuses on running its business of selling and servicing cars.  We leave utility negotiations to the experts, APPI.”

Karl Klements Properties, Inc. jumped on this program at the very beginning.  We signed 47 of our TXU accounts and are projected to save 36% on our electricity costs.  That's over $65,000 added to the bottom line.  I was so pleased with the service I received from APPI and how the overall program worked that I have already begun to refer other businesses to APPI.  There are no up-front costs or obligations so the only thing you have to lose is the money that's lying on the table.

I just switched three of our stores over to this program and saved over $7,000 for 2002.  I bet I do not have over an hour invested.  it could not have been any easier.  I would encourage you to give this program a try, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.  We were switched over January 4th with no glitches whatsoever.

I began working with Affiliated Power Purchasers Int'l (APPI) in early 2002.  It was as simple as faxing them an electric bill for review.  Shortly afterwards, I switched my electric account to an alternate supplier with APPI's assistance.  I not only took advantage of a fixed price for budget security but I also received a discount on the delivery tax and a credit from the utility for eliminating administrations cost.  I just recently renewed the supplier agreement for another term.  I would recommend this member benefit to all RGNY members to assist them with their electricity needs.
