Before you begin ## Utility bill review: your questions answered. How long does the first bill review take? The AI-assisted screening usually takes about a minute, although file size and service availability can affect processing. It is an initial check, not a completed audit. A full historical review depends on records, agreed scope, and responses from the utility or supplier. What does the utility bill audit cost? Our standard fee is 30% of eligible historical refunds received or credits actually applied, as defined in the signed agreement. There is no recovery fee if nothing is recovered. Projected future savings are not historical refunds. Review the [agreement template](https://rebateenergy.com/client-documents/) and confirm final terms with our team. Who receives my bill review results? Your uploaded bill is processed through the AI-assisted review described in the form consent. The findings go to our audit team for follow-up; the submission screen provides a receipt confirmation and reference. Do not include unnecessary sensitive information. What happens after I upload a bill? After an accepted submission, keep your reference number and review the [agreement and letter of authorization](https://rebateenergy.com/client-documents/). Our team confirms eligibility, scope, and any additional records. Uploading a bill does not sign either document; recovery work begins after the final documents are completed and signed. How far back can an audit go? We request three to five years of bills and payment history where available. The recoverable period depends on the state, utility tariff, supplier contract, error type, filing deadline, and evidence. Utility backbilling limits for undercharges do not necessarily establish your refund period. What records will you need? Start with a recent commercial electric or natural gas bill, including all pages, your service state, and your supplier agreement if available. For a full review we may also need historical bills and payments, renewal notices, business and occupancy history, exemption certificates, and meter or interval data. A signed agreement and letter of authorization are required before recovery work. Is a refund guaranteed? No. Potential errors must be supported by account records and the applicable billing rules. Recovery depends on the facts and the utility or supplier’s dispute process. We distinguish historical recovery claims from opportunities to reduce future costs. Who handles a disputed charge? Delivery billing errors generally go to the utility. Supplier contract errors generally go to the supplier, even when those charges appear on a consolidated utility bill. We document the dispute and request a case number and written response. Where we work ### Commercial utility audits in supplier-choice markets.
