Paying your PSE (Puget Sound Energy) bill is easy and convenient when you use the phone. As a PSE customer, you have multiple options to pay your bill quickly over the phone without ever leaving your home. In this article, we’ll explain the quickest and easiest ways to pay your PSE bill by phone.
Call PSE Directly to Pay
The most straightforward way to pay your PSE bill by phone is to call PSE directly at 1-888-225-5773. This number will connect you directly to PSE’s payment system.
When you call, make sure to have your PSE account number handy You’ll need to enter it, along with the amount you want to pay. You can then make a payment using a credit card, debit card or electronic check.

Set Up Recurring Payments
In addition to one-time payments, you can also set up recurring payments over the phone when you call PSE. This is a convenient way to make sure your bill gets paid on time each month automatically.
To set up recurring payments, call the number above and select the auto-pay option. You’ll need to have your payment information stored on file, and PSE will automatically charge your account each month for the amount due.
One of the great benefits of auto-pay is that you don’t have to remember to pay each month. It happens automatically so you can avoid late fees.
Pay as a Guest
If you don’t have your PSE account number handy, you can still pay your bill over the phone as a guest. Just call PSE and select the “pay as a guest” option.
You’ll need to enter the ZIP code associated with your PSE account, along with your account number. As long as you have those two pieces of information, you can quickly make a payment without having to log in or pull up your account details.
Paying as a guest is useful if you’re calling from a phone that doesn’t have access to your account information. As long as you have your account number and ZIP code, you can pay in just a couple of minutes.
Pay Using PSE’s Automated System

Payment Security
When paying over the phone, you don’t have to worry – PSE keeps your payment information secure. Any payment details you enter are encrypted and protected.

Receive Payment Confirmation
For your records, make sure to request a payment confirmation number at the end of your call. You’ll also have the option to receive an email receipt.
Having a confirmation number and receipt lets you verify the payment went through as planned. It also gives you peace of mind that your payment was applied properly to your account.
Avoid Disconnection with Phone Payments
If you receive a disconnection notice for an overdue bill, paying by phone is the quickest way to avoid service interruption. PSE typically won’t disconnect service as long as a payment has been made on the due date.
Even if you miss the deadline, you may still be able to reconnect by paying the past due amount over the phone immediately. This saves you the trouble of having your power shut off.
The phone payment line is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you can pay your bill at the last minute if needed to avoid disconnection. Just be aware that same-day payments made after 5:00pm won’t post to your account until the next business day.
Check Your Balance After Paying
After you pay your PSE bill over the phone, you can check the updated account balance right away by logging into your PSE account online or using the mobile app. This lets you confirm the payment was applied as expected.
Checking your balance gives you peace of mind that your payment went through correctly. You’ll be able to see the total amount owed reflects the recent payment.
Get Account Support
The PSE customer service reps who answer the phone payment line can also help with account questions or issues. If you need to update your account details, request payment extensions or discuss billing errors, the reps can assist you.
Any time you have a question about your PSE service or billing, the phone agents can look up your account, review any issues and provide solutions. Their goal is to make bill payment easy while providing excellent customer service.
Set Up Recurring Payments Online
While PSE offers a recurring auto-pay option over the phone, you can also log in to your PSE account online to set up recurring payments. This may allow you to schedule recurring payments farther in advance compared to calling in.
