How Do You Get Help Paying Utility Bills?
It’s difficult to think about utility heating bills in the middle of a hot August, but being prepared for the rising cost ahead of winter is a smart thing to do. Getting prepared now is the key to having a warm winter and not having to worry about not being able to pay utility bills. The following eHow documents a few ways to get help paying utility bills. ~~Contact your electricity provider BEFORE electricity is cut off!~~ At the first sign that you might not be able to pay your heating or electricity bill, contact the service provider and start a dialogue directly with the company. Most utility providers will work with you, whether it’s to delay payment or forgo the late fee. Utility companies might help you set up a utility payment plan where identical payments are scheduled throughout the year. This type of budget plan for electricity works well in climates where either air conditioning or heating is used more than the other – spreading out the payments equalizes the cash flow out.
