About Tenurgy
how it started
Meet Michael Harrington
Utilities are one of a company’s top operating expenses, and unfortunately, 4 out of 5 commercial or industrial companies are over-billed by a utility at some point. Utility companies don’t intentionally overbill their customers, but errors occur because of meter changes, multiple tariffs, thousands of invoices, and accuracy of inventory and consumption. These systemic, chronic-type billing problems exist all over the place, and significant savings can be generated by carefully managing utility expenses.
Michael Harrington, CEO and founder of Tenurgy was working in Chicago for Ameritech after graduating from Michigan State University and saw firsthand these types of billing errors and what could be done about them to save money for customers. This was when he had the idea to start Tenurgy. Still, before launching the company and moving home to Petoskey, Michigan, he worked for a Michigan firm to learn more about the gas, electric, water, and sewer industries.
After moving home, Harrington officially turned his idea into a reality to help companies with significant utilities save millions. From financial analyst and project accountant to business owner, Michael Harrington and his team of utility auditing experts help identify billing errors for companies nationwide.Â
