Founder of Utility Check. Builds tools that turn opaque utility bills into clear, actionable analysis.
Matt founded Utility Check after spending years watching friends and family struggle to make sense of their electricity bills. The core insight: most people don't need help "saving money on electricity" — they need help understanding whether the bill in front of them is correct, and whether the rate plan they're on is the right one for how they actually use power.
He built Utility Check to do exactly that. Every tool on the site — the bill checker, the rate plan optimizer, the utility comparison pages — exists because a real person asked a real question that the existing answers (vague, sales-driven, often wrong) couldn't address.
Matt edits all editorial content on Utility Check, with a focus on accuracy over engagement. If a number is on this site, it came from a primary source — a utility tariff filing, an EIA dataset, a state PSC order — and not from another aggregator's recycled summary.
