Who should I contact if I have questions about my utility bill sent from Performance?

Typically your property manager should be able to answer most questions, but for any question that they cannot answer, please call customer service at 855.326.6434 or email us at customerservice@performanceutilities.com.

How do you calculate my bill if I don't have a meter?

Ratio Utility Billing (RUBS) is a billing allocation method used when a community does not have meters installed in individual units and is regulated by the Public Utility Commission (PUC). Utility consumption is calculated using a formula to determine each resident’s utility bills. The formula is usually based on information about your community, residents and utility usage and or other criteria, such as square footage, number of occupants, number of water fixtures in the unit, etc.

What is the "Service Fee" on my monthly statement?

The monthly service fee included on your billing statement is a fee that covers the cost of maintaining and servicing your account.

What usage cycle will I be billed for?

The usage cycle for billing varies for each community and your charges are calculated using the service provider bills issued most recently prior to calculating of your statement. Billing statements are normally generated on a monthly basis; however, there are instances where billing occurs every two months.

Why am I being billed?

According to your lease agreement, the owner of your community has chosen to have residents pay for individual utilities usage and allocated charges and as a result, this keeps costs down and promotes conservation.

Why is my water bill higher than last month?

This may be due to several factors, such as increased usage (i.e. more showers, baths, etc.). The bill period may be longer than the previous month, or it is possible that you may have a leak. If the increase is significant, we suggest you request your community’s maintenance staff to check your home for a possible leak.

Who should I contact about the charges on my bill?

Your property management team can assist with any utility billing charges, such as water, sewer, trash, gas, and service fees you may have. If you still have concerns please contact us at 855.326.6434 or at customerservice@performanceutilities.com. Additionally, you may see charges such as rent, pet fees, garage fees, etc. on your Performance bill. These charges are provided to Performance by your community to be placed on the bill for your convenience. Any concerns regarding these particular charges will need to be addressed with your property management team.

How do I select the right billing package?

Full Service Billing is a comprehensive and turnkey billing program managed by Performance that includes remittance processing, collections, and direct customer service support.

Bill Only Services is a utility only billing service that is sent to the residents who then remit payment direct to the property management staff.
