Do I need to be home at the time of a reading?
The only time you need to be available is if we need to gain access to an inside meter or if we need access to a gated or locked area. In most cases, the meters are located on the outside of the building where there is access.

Can I sign up for the Budget Billing Plan at the time that I request a new account?
Yes, in most cases. We will review the last 12 months of actual usage and provide you with a quote for your monthly average. If you are moving to a recently built home, we will ask you several questions about the home to obtain an appropriate usage estimate.
