 Budget Billing helps you smooth out your energy bills. Budget BillingHeating needs usually make up the largest share of energy use. So it's no surprise that your energy bill rises during the winter months. UPPCO's Budget Billing is designed to help you keep your energy bills manageable year 'round. It's Simple and FreeWe calculate your estimated energy cost for next year by using last year's usage, considering weather and price, then divide it into 12 payments. You are billed this monthly average for the next 12 months. At 6 months, your account is reviewed, and your payment amount may be adjusted to more closely reflect your actual use. Your bill for the 12th month will include any difference between what you paid and the actual cost of the energy you used throughout the year. If you paid too much, any excess will be refunded to you by check or can be applied as a credit to reduce the following year's Budget Billing payment amount. If you paid too little, you can pay the difference outright or have UPPCO spread the balance over the new Budget Billing year. PLEASE NOTE: Budget billing is available to residential customers. You may enroll in Budget Billing at any point throughout the year. For extra convenience, add QuickCheck to your Budget Billing plan. This will reduce your monthly bill paying to a simple entry into your checkbook. Some restrictions may apply. |
