Making Bill Pay Easier: Options for Paying Your Somerset Rural Electric Bill

Paying your monthly electric bill can feel like a hassle – writing and mailing a check, remembering due dates, potential late fees if you forget. But it doesn’t have to be! Somerset Rural Electric offers a variety of convenient payment options to fit any schedule or preference. In this article, we’ll explore the different ways you can pay your Somerset Rural Electric bill, so you can choose the method that works best for you.

Online Bill Pay

For quick, easy bill payment anytime, the best option is to pay online through Somerset Rural Electric’s online Bill Pay system. This secure system allows co-op members to receive, view, and pay their electric bill 24/7.

To start simply go to the Somerset Rural Electric website and click on “Pay Now” at the top of the page. This will take you to the login page for SmartHub, Somerset’s online account management and bill pay system. If you’re a new user you can easily set up your account by clicking “New Users Sign Up.”

Once logged into your SmartHub account, you can view your current electric bill as well as bills from the past 12 months. When ready to pay, just enter your payment info and submit – it only takes a few clicks. SmartHub accepts payments from checking/savings accounts as well as major credit and debit cards like Visa, Mastercard, and Discover.

The online system is completely free to use and lets you skip the hassles of mailing payments or making a trip to the co-op office. You can pay on your schedule – whether it’s the 1st of the month or the 15th – without worry of late fees. Plus, your payment history is stored securely in your SmartHub account, providing easy record keeping.

Pay By Phone

If you prefer to make bill payments over the phone, Somerset Rural Electric offers a toll-free Pay By Phone system. Simply dial 1-877-833-4018 anytime 24/7 and you can make quick automated payments from your checking account, savings account, or credit/debit card

This secure, automated phone payment system helps you avoid the headaches of mailing bills or driving to the co-op office during business hours. Just call at your convenience – whether it’s early morning before work, mid-day from your cell phone, or late evening once the kids are in bed – and pay your bill in minutes with just a few prompts. The system accepts Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and e-checks from checking or savings accounts.

Your payment will be applied immediately so you don’t have to worry about due dates or late fees. This phone payment option allows you to take care of your electric bill quickly and securely without ever leaving home.

Hassle-Free Auto Bill Pay

For ultimate convenience, consider enrolling in Somerset Rural Electric’s auto bill pay program. This “set it and forget it” option securely and automatically pays your electric bill from your chosen checking/savings account or credit/debit card each month.

With auto bill pay, there’s no more trying to remember when bills are due or manually making payments every month. Your bill is always paid on time on the 15th of each month, preventing any late fees.

To sign up, simply call the Pay By Phone system at 1-877-833-4018 or log into your SmartHub online account. Provide some basic information like your account number and the payment source you want your bill autopaid from each month. The co-op will take care of the rest!

Auto bill pay eliminates the stress of bill paying and ensures your electric account stays in good standing. For true hassle-free bill management, it’s an excellent option.

Paying by Mail

While not as fast and convenient as online or phone payments, Somerset Rural Electric still accepts bill payments made through the mail. If you prefer the old school bill paying method of writing and mailing a check, simply send your payment in the pre-addressed return envelope included with your monthly bill.

Be sure to include your payment stub from your electric bill to ensure proper crediting of your account. Make checks or money orders payable to Somerset Rural Electric. Please do not mail cash payments. Allow 3-5 business days for mailed payments to be received and processed by the co-op office to avoid any late fees.

Pay in Person

For members who prefer to pay their electric bill in person, Somerset Rural Electric welcomes you to stop by their office located at 223 Industrial Park Road in Somerset. In-person payments can be made Monday through Friday from 7:30am to 4:00pm.

At the front desk, you can pay your bill via cash, check, or credit/debit card with one of our friendly staff members. The co-op office also offers a self-serve payment kiosk in the lobby for quick credit/debit card payments without having to wait in line.

If stopping by during office hours doesn’t work with your schedule, no problem! Somerset Rural Electric offers a secure drop box located right outside the co-op office where you can leave your payment any time of day or night. Payments left in the drop box will be processed the next business day.
