Commercial utility bill auditing in Michigan

Michigan electricity choice and natural gas choice operate under different program rules. A business account needs a fuel-specific review of its supply and delivery arrangements.

Michigan electricity utilities and billing review

Representative delivery utilitiesDTE Electric; Consumers Energy; other participating utilities

DTE Electric, Consumers Energy, and other participating utilities have electricity-choice programs subject to the statutory 10% cap. Queues can limit entry. Our audit examines the arrangement already applicable to the account; it does not promise a place in the choice program or a right to switch immediately.

Michigan natural gas utilities and billing review

Representative delivery utilitiesConsumers Energy; DTE Gas; Michigan Gas Utilities; SEMCO

Consumers Energy, DTE Gas, Michigan Gas Utilities, and SEMCO participate in Gas Customer Choice. The local utility continues delivery when a participating customer purchases gas from an alternative supplier. We keep gas supply terms separate from utility delivery calculations.

Evidence before conclusions

Follow the charge back to the record.

A useful Michigan utility audit identifies the disputed line item, the billing dates, and the contract or tariff provision that should apply. We compare the calculation with those records and distinguish a possible error from a supported recovery claim.

A recent statement can help identify questions. A full historical review needs the records for the affected periods, with corrected bills and credits kept alongside the originals.

Records to prepare for your Michigan bill review

  • A recent complete utility statement, including every page
  • The service address and state for each account
  • Any separate energy supplier invoices
  • Supplier agreements and renewal notices
  • Historical statements, payments, credits, and rebills
  • Meter or interval data when relevant to the questioned charge

Keep multiple locations organized by account. We define the full scope with you before recovery work begins. See our process and standard recovery pricing for the engagement steps.

Michigan utility audit questions

Does the electricity-choice cap apply in the same way to gas?

Do not transfer one program’s rules to the other. Electricity and gas eligibility, billing terms, and supplier arrangements require separate checks.

Can you review past utility overpayments?

Our agreed historical review can cover up to 36 months of available records. A recoverable period depends on the account, applicable rules, contract, deadlines, and evidence. One questionable charge is not automatically a three-year refund.

What happens after I upload a bill?

The upload provides an AI-assisted preliminary screening for our team. People review the findings and follow up about records and scope. Recovery work requires a signed agreement and letter of authorization.
