Residential Budget Billing (Natural Gas & Electric only)  
Residential Budget Billing takes the guesswork out of what you pay Florida Public Utilities each month for your energy needs.
Budget Billing is a free service that stabilizes your monthly energy costs by spreading them over the course of the year to give you balanced and predictable bills. With Budget Billing you will pay about the same amount each month. The program does not reduce the amount you pay for energy.
Many things can cause your FPUC bill to fluctuate during the year. Some factors that may cause these changes are:
         • Weather
         • Fuel Costs
         • Addition of new appliances
         • House guests

Stabilized billing (Budget Billing) makes it easier to manage your monthly account, and prevents spikes in the amount due on your bill.











Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)
Ensure your FPUC bill is paid automatically every month with this FREE automatic bill pay program – without having to spend any time online. Simply fill out the EFT application form below and drop it off at your local FPUC office. Then never worry about your FPUC payment (or incurring late fees) again.

Organizations or Agencies that You Can Go To For Help

There are networks of social-service organizations located throughout our service territory ready to assist those in need.

LIHEAP | EHEAEP | FEMA | UNITED WAY

Some of the Energy-Assistance Programs that are offered in FPUC's service area include:

 

LIHEAP

Annually, the state of Florida receives funding from the federal government to help low-income people pay their utility bills. The program that provides this funding is called the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). LIHEAP funds are distributed through community-based agencies working throughout Florida. FPUC works closely with both state and local agencies and organizations in the administration of LIHEAP and other such funds, as part of our ASSIST Program.

To be eligible to receive help, your household's income may not exceed 150 percent of the poverty guidelines. If your household's income is greater than this amount, you may still be eligible, because some types of income are not counted.

To find out where to apply for the funds, please visit the state of Florida 's Department of Community Affairs Web site, and then click on the link for the Community Assistance Local Programs and Contacts List. Locate your county on the list. The contact agency providing assistance in paying utility bills is listed under “LIHEAP.”

Click here for a video presentation on LIHEAP. Click here to download a  LIHEAP brochure.

When applying for assistance, you must provide proof, such as a utility bill, that you are responsible for all or part of the energy costs for the household. Other requirements are explained here.

Individuals interested in applying for LIHEAP assistance should contact their local/state LIHEAP agency. For more information, go to:

EHEAEP

The Emergency Home Energy Assistance for the Elderly program is available for financially eligible people, 60 years of age and older, who are experiencing an energy-related crisis.

A crisis may be an impending cut-off of utility services, lack of fuel or wood, a broken heating or cooling system, or an unusually hot or cold season energy expense. A recipient may receive financial assistance a maximum of twice a year – once during the heating season and again during the cooling season. Financial eligibility for this program is determined by a local community agency designated by the Florida Department of Elder Affairs.

Individuals interested in applying for EHEAEP assistance should contact their local/state EHEAEP agency. For more information, call 1-800-963-5337.
