Third Party Notification

York Elec­tric real­izes that month­ly bills can some­times be over­looked. Unex­pect­ed ill­ness, inex­pe­ri­ence with pay­ing bills, or sim­ply get­ting busy and for­get­ting are just a few of the many sit­u­a­tions where a bill can be for­got­ten.

Third-Par­ty Noti­fi­ca­tion is a free ser­vice offered by York Elec­tric that acts as a safe­ty net in case a bill gets over­looked. This ser­vice allows a des­ig­nat­ed third par­ty to be noti­fied should the member’s elec­tric bill become past due or sub­ject to dis­con­nec­tion. When enrolled, both the mem­ber and the third par­ty will receive noti­fi­ca­tion by mail and/or by phone if a bill becomes past due.

A mem­ber can des­ig­nate a third par­ty at their own dis­cre­tion, or a con­cerned third par­ty may des­ig­nate them­selves with the member’s per­mis­sion. Please note that pro­vid­ing noti­fi­ca­tion to a third par­ty places no oblig­a­tion on that par­ty to pay the elec­tric bill for the mem­ber, nor does it guar­an­tee post­poned dis­con­nec­tion if no pay­ment is received.

To sign up for Third-Par­ty Noti­fi­ca­tion, please fill out the form below and return it to our offices or with your elec­tric pay­ment.

Billing & Payments FAQ

Each month­ly bill is the rolling aver­age of your elec­tric usage for the most recent 12 months. In order to have your account placed on a lev­elized bud­get billing, you need to be a mem­ber of YEC at your cur­rent res­i­dence for one year, have main­tained good cred­it (as defined by YEC), have a zero bal­ance, and pay your bill by the orig­i­nal due date each month. There is no ser­vice charge or month­ly fee, so call us if you want to lev­el it out!
