ENERGY ADVANTAGE

EnergyAdvantage is a convenient way for existing or new members to control costs and monitor energy usage on their own terms. Using a flexible pay-as-you-go system and user-friendly energy tracking tool on My EnergyHub, members can decide the amount and frequency of their payments, and budget their energy usage accordingly. Think of it as a checking account for your energy.

Will EnergyUnited notify me if my account balance is low or needs to be replenished?

You must register for My EnergyHub to choose your notification options. You may elect to receive notifications by home phone, cell phone, text message and/or email alert notifications. Since this is the only notification that you will receive from EnergyUnited, we suggest that you select more than one alert method. If you choose the low balance notification, approximately 5 days before we project that your account will be at a zero or non-credit balance, you will receive an alert via the selected notification method(s). This will give you an opportunity to purchase more electricity before running out of credit.
