If you receive a call from someone stating you have overpaid your energy bill and you should provide your banking information or a credit card number to receive a refund, hang up because it’s likely a scam. If you overpay your bill, we will apply the overpayment credit to your account balance or, in certain instances, mail a check. We will not call and request your banking information to issue the refund.

Electricity has become such a necessary part of our lives that we tend to take it for granted, but using it safely is very important. Thousands of people in the United States are critically injured and electrocuted as a result of electrical fires and accidents in their own homes annually.
Each year, thousands of home fires start with extension cords, resulting in hundreds of injuries and nearly 50 deaths nationwide. Extension cords can overheat and ignite when used incorrectly, so it’s important to follow these safety tips to protect your home and workplace.
• Don’t attempt to plug extension cords into one another
• Make sure extension cords are properly rated for their intended use, indoor or outdoor, and meet or exceed the power needs of the device being used
• Keep all outdoor extension cords clear of standing water
• Do NOT overload extension cords
• Inspect cords for damage before use. Check for cracked or frayed sockets, loose or bare wires, and loose connections
• Do NOT nail or staple extension cords to walls or baseboards
• Do NOT run extension cords through walls, doorways, ceilings, or floors. If a cord is covered, heat cannot escape, which may result in a fire hazard
• Never use three-prong plugs with outlets that only have two slots.
• Never cut off the ground pin to force a fit, which could lead to electric shock
• Do NOT substitute extension cords for permanent wiring
• Do NOT use an extension cord or power strip with heaters or fans, which could cause cords to overheat and result in a fire
