At Tri-County Electric, we aim to provide exceptional service to our members while adhering to guidelines regarding billing and refunds. Understanding your rights as a user, including circumstances that may qualify for a refund, is essential when managing your account. Refund eligibility typically relates to billing adjustments and service changes rather than errors in charging.

The following situations may qualify for a refund or adjustment in your billing with Tri-County Electric:

• Overpayment: If you have made an overpayment on your account, you might be eligible for a refund or credit towards future billing cycles.
• Account Closure: Following the closure of your account, adjustments may result in a balance that could be refunded if all final payments or outstanding fees are settled.
• Service Disruption: In cases of unexpected and prolonged service interruptions, members may qualify for a billing adjustment based on the duration of the outage.
• Rate Adjustments: Occasionally, rate changes may lead to adjustments in your billing. If these changes affect your bill significantly, you might be eligible for further clarification or refund guidance.
• Billing Cycle Corrections: Should there be changes in your billing cycle that result in an unusual billing amount, such adjustments may lead to a possible refund or credit.

For detailed inquiries regarding your specific situation and to explore possible eligibility for a refund, please contact Tri-County Electric’s customer service department directly. They will assist you in understanding your billing account, and any potential eligibility for a refund or credit.

At Tri-County Electric, customers occasionally find themselves in situations where refunds are necessary. Here are some specific scenarios illustrating how refund requests can be successfully managed:

• Service Disruption: A customer experienced an unexpected power outage that lasted for over 24 hours. After contacting Tri-County Electric's customer service, they provided proof of the outage and received a fair refund for the affected period on their next bill.
• Billing Error: A member noticed a significant increase in their monthly bill due to an estimated meter reading that was higher than actual consumption. Upon reviewing the details with Tri-County Electric, the member was credited the excess charges after the meter was accurately read and confirmed.
• Change in Service Plans: A user decided to switch from a standard service plan to a time-of-use plan partway through the billing cycle. After discussing the change with customer support, they were refunded for the portion of the month that applied to the standard rate, aligning with their new plan.
• Account Cancellation: A customer requested to close their account after moving out of the service area. Tri-County Electric processed the account closure and issued a final bill that reflected a refund for the last month of service, which had been pre-paid and did not apply to the new address.
