## Commercial utility bill auditing in Virginia

Virginia electricity and natural gas choice have different restrictions. We review
qualifying business accounts using the actual utility territory, service arrangement,
and agreed scope.

## Virginia electricity utilities and billing review

**Representative delivery utilities**Dominion Energy Virginia; Appalachian Power

Dominion Energy Virginia and Appalachian Power are the electric utility examples
in our guide. Competitive supply routes are restricted and include qualifying large-
load arrangements. A utility audit examines the bill and supporting terms; it does
not establish a general right to switch suppliers.

Restricted choice routes, including qualifying large-load accounts; not general 
statewide access.

## Virginia natural gas utilities and billing review

**Representative delivery utilities**Washington Gas; Columbia Gas of Virginia

Washington Gas and Columbia Gas of Virginia are the participating gas-choice examples
highlighted here. Other gas utilities can have different service conditions. We 
check which company supplies the commodity and which delivers it, then use the corresponding
contract or tariff for the disputed amount.

Choice in participating territories; other utilities require separate eligibility
checks.

Evidence before conclusions

## Follow the charge back to the record.

A useful Virginia 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 Virginia 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](https://rebateenergy.com/how-it-works-and-pricing/)
for the engagement steps.

## Virginia utility audit questions

Does a Virginia gas-choice account qualify for electricity choice?

Not automatically. Electricity and gas eligibility are separate. We need the relevant
account and program information for each fuel.

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.

Utility examples are representative; supplier participation and program conditions
can change. Utility names do not imply an affiliation or endorsement. California
is outside our service area.
