Save Money – with Help from Your Power Company!
From free appliances to budget billing, most utility companies offer services that can help their customers save money. We’ve found secret programs that can give you monthly discounts, provide $10,000+ in FREE home improvements and so much more!
In 2015, I bought a home in another town and I was suddenly faced with power bills that were over $1,000 per month!
I was shocked and I couldn’t afford it… so I called our power company and asked for help. I discovered TONS of programs that I never knew existed!
The company even sent a representative to evaluate our home, recommend cost-saving measures and even gave us two free shower-heads and about a dozen free LED light bulbs! The representative also told us how we could get a new refrigerator and washing machine absolutely free. About a year later, we discovered another program offered through our local Community Action Council that installed over $18,000 in FREE home improvement products (including a new air conditioner)!
These programs SAVED my budget… and I bet they could help yours, too!
That’s why I’ve been on a mission to research and write about every power company in the US. I’ve discovered all sorts of helpful programs during my research, including monthly discounts, free weatherization programs, moratoriums that prevent your power from being disconnected, programs that forgive your past-due balance and so much more!
I haven’t finished the list yet, so if you don’t see your state or power provider in the list, just leave a comment and let me know. I’ll add it to my to-do list and get that research done for you just as soon as I can!
You’ll find an alphabetized state list below. Just select your state to get started!
If you do not see your state listed, please leave me a comment with your power company name AND your state.
If you leave me a comment with your power company name AND state, I will research and write up a post about how your specific power company can help you save money! Since some power companies span several states, your location enables me to identify the savings that are available to your specific area.

I hate being broke - and I always have too much month at the end of my money. As a journalist, I decided it was time to use my skills to investigate ways that my family (and yours) could thrive despite our less-than-ideal incomes... and that's how Low Income Relief started.

Washington EMC, Sparta, GA 31087
Hey, Jeanette! We’ve been trying to track down information on Washington EMC. I wasn’t getting anywhere so I asked a friend for some help. Although she eventually received a call back from their customer service manager, it didn’t go well. Here’s what she said:
“So I did end up getting a call back from their customer service/relations manager who said that they do not offer any discounts or incentives. I gave examples of what other companies are doing (power checking/payment plans/etc) and he continued to say they did not offer anything like that not would they want too. He was pretty rude :/ I explained that I wasn’t trying to “scam” the company, but show people on a budget there is hope and ways to save on often extremely expensive bills. He then hung up on me. :/”
We’ll keep looking but it seems like Washington EMC might just be a company to avoid as much as possible. I’m so sorry!

Good Afternoon,
Could you look into Charles County, Maryland. Our provider is SMECO.
Thank you so much!
Hi, Leann! Click here to see what our contributor, Nicholas, just found out about SMECO!
Bless you for creating this site! I live in Virginia Beach and the only electrical company we have here is Dominion Energy. I phoned them and asked if they offered any temporary relief as I could not pay the current bill and they gave me a 211 number to call for assistance in Virginia. When I phoned they asked my zip code and gave me names of local churches that may be able to give me cash to pay my delinquent bill. Not what I was looking for. They cut off my power. I asked where the $1.00 Energy Share donation went to that they requested on every bill and the person I was speaking with ‘had no idea’. She sounded really bored with the whole call but did thank me for calling. I replied in kind. At least she didn’t hang up on me, right?! (LOL) If you could find any helpful information regarding Dominion Energy, I’d really appreciate it.
Hey, Deborah! I am SO sorry!!! I did some digging and found out all about EnergyShare – and all the other ways you can save money and get help on your bill! Click here to see what we’ve learned about Dominion Energy.
