Working With Texas DHHS

You can waive a deposit with well known electricity companies by working with your states government social services offices. Most states have a responsibility to make sure low income residents have electricity during cold winter months and hot summer months in order to heat and cool your home.

 


Can't Pay Deposit?

If you cannot afford the deposit amount being required of you then your state will likely be able to help you pay your deposit or pay it on your behalf. There are also prepaid and pay as you go electric companies but these usually represent an unaffordable much higher electricity rate than a low income resident would typically be able to afford.

 


Consider Price Before Choosing

Pay as you go electricity rates are sometimes double and triple the price of traditional electricity prices.

Pennsylvania Electric: 3 Frequently Asked Questions about Smart Meters

By admin

Smart meter technology is coming to Pennsylvania soon. This new technology will replace the currently used analogue meters, and they will save consumers money. Following are the answers to some frequently asked questions about smart meters.


What Exactly are Smart Meters?

 

A smart meter is an advanced meter (usually electric) that identifies energy consumption in more detail than a conventional analogue meter. It communicates consumption information electronically back to the local utility company for monitoring and billing purposes.

How Long Will the Installation of My Smart Meter Take?

It’s very quick; it can be done in about ten minutes and you don’t even have to be home. FYI, you will experience a brief power outage during this time.

Do I Need to Do Anything to Get a Smart Meter?

No. Your Pennsylvania electric company will dispatch a technician to take care of the installation for you. You will be notified beforehand – usually via a notice left on your door or a mailed letter – of the general timeframe when this will take place.

Help Your Smart Meter Work “Smarter”

No matter the situation, technology can only do so much to help us save more and consume less. We have to do our part. When it comes to your Pennsylvania electric bill, to help maximize the savings you get – with or without a smart meter – one thing you can do immediately is to check your current electric plan.

Living in a deregulated energy market, you have to power to choose your Pennsylvania electricity company. And, long-time stable energy providers offer a plethora of plans to help credit challenged individuals, those on fixed incomes and even low-income consumers.


You no longer have to settle for expensive options like prepaid electric service plans. Call your Pennsylvania electricity company and ask about lower cost no-deposit and low-deposit electric service plans. You could be paying much less than what you’re paying now. But, you must make the call to find out your options.
