Tarifas

Summer in Texas is hot, and with the heat typically comes changes in electricity usage and billing. During the warmer months, Payless Power receives a lot of customer questions related to these changes. Check out the answers to some frequently asked questions below to help you keep your cool during the sweltering summer.

1. How long do extensions last and how can I request one?

In the event that a customer can’t make their payment on time, Payless Power will allow extensions through 5:00 p.m. that day. Longer extensions may be granted on a case by case basis by calling the Customer Care team at (888) 963-9363 and asking about a Deferred Payment Plan. If you qualify, Deferred Payment Plans can extend your service for multiple days.

2. Will my electricity be shut off during a weekend or holiday when the bank isn’t open?

Payless Power does not disconnect service on the weekend.  Most, but not all federally recognized holidays are also protected from disconnection. New Years Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, 4^th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day are protected from disconnection.  For a complete list, please call Customer Care.

3. Why did my usage and bill go up when I haven’t made changes to my electricity habits?

Almost 50% of the average family’s electricity bill is spent on heating or cooling. As heat rises in the summer, it requires more energy to counteract nature and cool your home. That means that even though the thermostat hasn’t changed since March, your bill will increase.
