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 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.

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!
Hello,
Thank you for providing information! I just found out about your website..Do you have any info for Georgia?
Thanks in advance!

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.

We live in Quebec TEN and use Coney Fork Electric Cooperative. We are living with family currently with our 4 kids and 1st grandchild and it gets so hot in my daughters room.

Im trying to see about getting hello with one for her room for the baby who was born May 8, 2018 and was in Nashville NICK for 10 days. Any info would be greatly appreciated. -Keisha
Hi, Keisha! I will add Caney Fork Electric to our research list. It could be a while before we’re able to get that research completed, though, because our research list is so long. I recommend reaching out to the Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA) and asking about their weatherization program. They should be able to help you. The United Ways of Tennessee (http://www.uwtn.org/) should be able to help you find other agencies that may be able to assist, also. Best of luck! <3

Hi Nicole, such an amazing thing you’re doing here. This is a much needed service for so many of us. I live in LaPlace, La 70068. We’re about 30-45 mins from New Orleans. I have 3 girls, ages 21, 17, & 16. My husband & I also care for 1 other female & 2 males age 16, 18, & 20 who were homeless before they came to live with us but good kids & simply needed a safe place to go. Needless to say we have a very active household, lol. I’m giving you all the ages in hopes that will help you help US, , as we are in dire need of it. My husband works but our income is not enough to make ends meet with so many of us. I have a bad foot that doesn’t allow me to stand longer than a few hours at a time due to a car accident. Anything you can find to help us would be appreciated. We don’t seem to have many resources here. My husband & I are ages 50 & 37 & I’m concerned for our health as well. We have one dog & I worry about his health as well. We have one vehicle & it constantly leaves me stranded & I have to be towed home until my husband can fix it again.
Hi, Samantha!
I’m so thankful that you were able to take in those extra kids. It’s a wonderful thing that your family is doing. 🙂
The best way to find help in your area is to contact VIA Link. VIA Link maintains a directory of resources in your area. They also offer a nifty chat feature, so you can ask them to look up specific resources for you. They should be able to help you connect with helpful organizations that serve people in your area.
Our research list is hundreds of needs long right now, so VIA Link should be able to help you with your urgent needs (like transportation, health and veterinary care) much faster than we can. If you would like us to research your power company, library or anything specific like that, though, please don’t hesitate to let me know! I’ll add it to the research list and we’ll get to it as soon as we can.
I hope this helps! 🙂
