We use this information to run a credit check for new customers. All residential customers must establish credit before we connect electrical service. For new customers, we run a credit check at the time of application to determine whether a security deposit is required.

For existing customers, we will evaluate your payment history to determine whether a security deposit is required.

Deposits, when requested, protect our company and our customers from those who use electricity and then move without paying for it. Those losses affect all of our customers, so security deposits help us keep everyone's costs down.

Once you've established service, we will assign you an account number you can use to register for our online account management service, My Account.

No, we can put service only in the name of the person making the application.

If you cannot provide the funds for a security deposit, we can assist you with making a payment arrangement.

We will hold the security deposit until your account reflects a good payment history, or until service is disconnected and the deposit is applied to the balance of your final bill. If the deposit exceeds your final bill, we will issue you a refund check.

When applying for service online, you can request service as soon as the following business day, or you can schedule it months in advance – whatever suits your needs. For homes with a smart meter, we now support same-day and Saturday requests. Requests will not be completed on Sundays. For requests made weekdays after 4:00 p.m. and for Saturday requests, please note that in the unlikely event we are unable to communicate with your meter, we will not be to send a technician out to investigate until the next business day.

Customers who need to temporarily disconnect their service must call us 24 hours in advance of the time they need to suspend service.
