Evidence comes before a recovery claim.

Utility overcharge recovery begins with identifying what was billed, what the applicable terms support, and the difference between the two. We prepare calculations and claim documentation for commercial electricity and natural gas accounts.

  1. Define the engagement. Sign an audit and recovery agreement and letter of authorization before recovery work begins.
  2. Document the discrepancy. Identify each billing period, calculation, relevant tariff or contract provision, and supporting record.
  3. Address the responsible company. Delivery errors generally go to the utility; supplier contract errors go to the supplier, including when charges appear on a consolidated bill.
  4. Seek a written resolution. Request correction, rebilling, and a refund or account credit, with interest where applicable. Escalate unresolved matters through the appropriate complaint process.
  5. Verify the result. Confirm the amount actually recovered before calculating the agreed recovery fee.

Refunds and account credits

A recovery can take the form of money returned or a credit to the account. Refunds are paid directly to your business. Timing and outcomes depend on the dispute and the responsible company.

Past suppliers and older bills

A previous supplier may still be relevant to a billing investigation. We need the earlier agreement, invoices, payment history, and any prior correspondence to assess what can be supported. Deadlines and available remedies must be checked for the individual claim.

The standard fee is 30% of historical refunds or credits actually recovered, with no recovery fee if nothing is recovered. The signed agreement establishes the final terms. No recovery is guaranteed.

Evidence before recovery

A billing question becomes a documented claim.

A useful utility overcharge recovery claim identifies the disputed charge, explains why it differs from the applicable tariff or supplier agreement, and shows the calculation for each affected period.

Our process keeps those records together so a requested correction can be traced back to the underlying bill. A screening finding is a starting point for human investigation, not a promised refund.

The outcome

Was the refund received or the account credit actually posted?

Questions businesses ask

Will recovery come as a check or an account credit?

The resolution may involve a refund, a credit, or a billing correction. We verify the actual result rather than treating a requested amount as recovered money.

Can you recover payments to a previous supplier?

Previous supplier charges can be reviewed when records are available. The ability to pursue a particular claim depends on the agreement, applicable rules, deadlines, and evidence.

How much does a commercial utility bill audit cost?

Our standard recovery fee is 30% of historical refunds or credits actually recovered. The signed agreement controls the scope and fee; complex or negotiated engagements may differ. See the process and pricing page for examples.
