Someone at your door wants to see your bill? Here is what they can and can't do, and what to say.
A big jump in your bill can mean a supplier's price changed. Here is how to check and what to do today.
Serves the New Haven and Bridgeport areas.
A kWh is one unit of electricity (kWh on your bill). Your bill may call this price the Standard Service.
It is the price you pay if you never picked another company.
Today it is 11.99 cents per kWh. A kWh is one unit of electricity (kWh on your bill).
Your bill may call it the Standard Service.
It changes on January 1 and July 1.
Yes. Your power stays on. UI still delivers your electricity and sends your bill.
Only the price part of your bill changes.
You can go back to UI's standard price later. In Connecticut, home plans can't charge a fee to leave early.
Every home plan in Connecticut has a fixed price.
Call the company you pick, or sign up on its website. You don't call your utility.
Have your UI bill ready. The company will ask for a number from it.
The new company will ask for three things from your bill: your account number, your name key and your POD ID number.
The new company tells UI for you.
You have 3 days to cancel for free after you sign up. The new company waits that long before it tells UI.
To cancel, call the new company, write to them or cancel online.
Watch your mail or email for a renewal notice before your plan ends.
Most plans start again on their own at a different price. Act before the new price starts.
Come back to Judy Saves when the notice comes. We will check your choices again.

False. Suppliers can't sign up homes with cancellation fees anymore.
