The most convenient way to apply for new electrical service is to visit a customer service office where your application will be handled immediately and your questions answered by a friendly customer service representative. However, for those who cannot easily get to a customer service office, a Residential Service Request Application can be mailed to you, and you can request service in writing or by fax. Enclose a copy of your personal identification—driver’s license and Social Security card—along with a check or money order for the security deposit.
New residential accounts require a deposit totaling the amount of two consecutive billing periods but not less than $100. An approved letter of credit from your previous utility where you have had electrical service within the last year may be considered in lieu of the deposit. If a deposit is required, the deposit will be returned to the customer with interest after a 13-month billing period with no penalties on the account. Visit www.santeecooper.comfor more information.
