Our Company

Utility Solutions Systems, Inc. (US2) is your best source for intelligent energy monitoring solutions and retrofit construction management.  As energy efficiency becomes an increasingly vital operational consideration, especially in the areas of steam, electrical and hot water utilities, our unique offering and Management3 Methodology (TM pending) grows more relevant every day.

US2 offers excellence in retrofit energy construction management - from initial energy audit to installation of necessary monitoring and metering equipment - and can ensure the ongoing measurement of your energy utilization.

US2 works primarily with Federal agencies such as VA Hospitals and military bases to ensure sustainable energy savings, and with facility owners faced with aging/outdated physical plants who are under pressure from Federal mandates to improve outmoded systems and demonstrate better energy efficiency.  

We hold several Federal certifications.  Specifically, SBA certified 8(a) and SDB Small Disadvantaged Business, and VA verified Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB).  So there are a number of contracting routes available to access our services.  

In addition, we are on GSA Schedule 56 with SIN 563 027 for construction materials, SIN 563 098 for ancillary installation services, and on Schedule 81 under Group 03FAC with SIN 811 005 Refrigeration, Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioner, Boiler and Chiller HVAC Maintenance, and SIN 871 205 Energy Audit Services.  Through GSA, we can offer end-to-end service, from energy audits to turnkey retrofit construction of energy conservation measures (ECMs).  Our application for GSA Schedule 51V Hardware Superstore with green construction materials is pending.

Nimble, versatile, and experienced, US2 has unmatched expertise and a proven track record in the niche market of wireless steam trap monitoring.  Clients save on energy production and maintenance labor costs, realizing substantial energy savings.  We encourage clients to evaluate our cost-effective projects for ROI.  Reliable, dependable, flexible, responsive, professional - these are the evaluations US2 routinely receives.

Our teaming alliances with industry leaders are extensive:  WESCO Distributors, TYCO Electrical, Armstrong International, Thermal Science Technology Insulation, Phillips Lightolier, HD Supply-White Cap, HD Supply-Facilities Maintenance, Onicon Flow Meters, Obvius Data Acquisition, Koch Air Filters and TREMCO Roofing.  These alliances provide a vital technical advantage in energy retrofit, mechanical, electrical, and general construction projects, resulting in distinct pricing advantages for our customers.

US2's customers have the assurance that we possess extensive experience in working with government agencies.  US2 is an expert in federal procurement procedures and is fully insured with a bonding capacity of $5M per project and $10M aggregate.  With more steam trap monitoring installations than any other vendor, US2 can mobilize quickly and nationally, and is vertically integrated with the capability to bring the lowest cost, highest quality team to the job site.

For more information, contact Jim Buchanan, PMP, General Manager or David F. Shutler, JD, MBA, President/CEO.  We look forward to hearing from you and assisting you in your energy monitoring and construction needs.

How We Started

A Spirit of Service

Utility Systems Solutions, Inc. is built upon a spirit of service.  The initial idea for the company came from a desire by Dave Shutler to find a way to continue to serve the Federal community after he retired from the U.S. Air Force, as well as to serve as a good steward of the earth by orchestrating ways in which to ensure the efficient use of natural resources. 

Mr. Shutler’s experience in the military as well as his many years working in the energy industry allowed for him to see a unique need among federal and governmental agencies to improve their energy systems.  The answer to Mr. Shutler’s question as to how best to make a difference within this community came in 2003 when he was contacted by a Contracting Officer to assess steam monitoring within a governmental agency.

Immediately, Mr. Shutler saw a need for such a service to be offered by a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned business.  Upon meeting with The Center for Veteran’s Enterprise in Washington D.C., David Shutler was able to realize that the pros for starting such an SDVOSB-designated enterprise far outweighed the cons. 

With the support and guidance of longtime friend, Matthew Blaisdell, David Shutler saw that they could offer their unique expertise in energy-saving solutions to an ever-expanding marketplace.  Thus, US2 was born, quickly growing from a business with two employees and $80,000 in debt, to 20 full time or part time employees and five profitable years of operation despite market downturns and Federal funding uncertainties.  

US2 is the leader in offering energy-saving solutions and general construction services to federal agencies to meet energy mandates.  From new construction to retrofitting and monitoring, this verified SDVOSB and certified 8(a)-SDB enterprise can help you become energy efficient.
