Timely Topics LEVELIZED BILLING PLAN – SIGN UP TODAY!
Don’t like surprises? If you don't like surprises, we may have the perfect plan for you. Levelized Billing lets you predict the future! With Levelized Billing, you will know what to expect on your electric bill because the amount will be approximately the same month after month -- even throughout peak cooling and heating periods. It does not reduce your electric bill, but will smooth out your charges and help you manage your electric bill. With our Levelized Billing Plan, your electric bill is calculated by adding your current actual electric bill to your previous 11 months total and dividing by 12. The purpose is to help make your electric service costs easier to budget because you receive approximately the same size bill each month. This plan is especially valuable for anyone on a budget or limited income. There is no charge for using the Levelized Billing Plan. This is a service that we provide to our members to make it easier to budget their electric bills. The minimum requirement for this service is a satisfactory payment history and continuing payment of your monthly billing on or before the due date. For more information give us a call at 870-633-2262 or e-mail info@woodruffelectric.com. KIDS’ CORNER: Safety Posters
