At Electric Bill, we understand that billing inquiries can arise from a variety of circumstances related to your electric service. Our refund eligibility is based on specific scenarios that pertain to your service usage and account management. Below are instances where you may qualify for a refund or billing adjustment:

• Service Disruption: If you experience an unexpected service interruption that impacts your electricity supply for an extended period, you might be eligible for a billing adjustment based on the duration of the outage.
• Incorrect Meter Reading: In situations where a billing statement is based on an incorrect meter reading, users may inquire about a refund or adjustment for the overcharged amount once the error is verified.
• Change of Service Plan: If you switch to a different service plan that results in a lower rate and find that your recent bill does not reflect this change, you may be eligible for a refund of the difference for the billing cycle.
• Account Credit: If you have previously overpaid your account and accumulated credit, this amount may be refunded upon your request, provided it adheres to our refund policy.
• Billing Cycle Adjustments: In certain cases where billing cycles may overlap or change due to administrative updates, you could be eligible for a prorated refund based on your usage during the transition.

We encourage users to review their bills and contact our customer service for any inquiries regarding refund eligibility based on their individual circumstances. Understanding your rights regarding billing issues is an essential part of managing your electric service effectively.
