Budget Plan











Budget Plan

The Budget Payment Plan allows your estimated annual utility charges to be divided into 12 payments. It puts an end to the fluctuating utility bills that result from winter heating and summer air conditioning. Because of extreme temperature changes, HEC maintains the right to adjust budgets as they deem necessary during the budget year. The two types of budget plans available at Harrisonburg Electric Commission are:

A) Settlement Plan: To qualify, your account must be paid in full at time of application. Our budget year begins with the billing you receive in April and ends with your March billing. March is budget settlement month; therefore, Settlement Plan Accounts must be paid in full at that time. Customers applying after April 1 for the budget plan will be prorated accordingly.

B) Average Plan: To qualify, your account must be paid in full at time of application. Our Average Plan allows you to join any time of the year. Settlement month will occur each year on the month you enrolled. At this time, the debit or credit that you have will average into next year's budget. A new budget amount reflecting the debit or credit will be in effect for the next budget year. Please allow 30 days from date of enrollment for the plan to become effective.

If you are interested in the Budget Plan, simply complete the attached application and mail it to Harrisonburg Electric Commission, 89 West Bruce Street, Harrisonburg, VA 22801. The Budget Plan will continue until such time that you notify Harrisonburg Electric Commission to discontinue this service. The Budget Plan Option will cease within 30 days of receiving such notice.

Termination of this agreement shall require 30 days written notification. If you elect to terminate this agreement, your account must be paid in full at that time to avoid possible discontinuance of service

For additional information on the Budget Payment Plan please call our Billing Department at (540) 434-5361 and a Customer Service Representative will assist you.
