Pay In Person
You can also pay your bill in person at one of the Service Electric payment centers:
Wilkes-Barre Office
15 J. Campbell Collins Dr.

This location is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5 PM. Stop by the office during business hours to make a cash, check or credit/debit card payment. You’ll receive a printed receipt as proof of payment.
Paying in person ensures your payment is credited right away. It’s a good option if you’ve missed the mail cutoff for check payments.
Avoid Late Fees
Service Electric bills are due on the 25th of each month. If your payment isn’t received by the due date, you’ll incur a $9.95 late fee.
To avoid late fees, schedule your online payments a few days early or mail your check payment at least 5 business days before the due date. Setting up Auto Bill Pay will ensure your bill gets paid on time each month.
Review your monthly statement so you know the amount due and due date. Mark your calendars with the due date as a reminder to pay on time. Paying late repeatedly can impact your credit score.
Get Account Alerts
Another way to avoid late payments is signing up for account alerts through My Account. You can receive due date reminders and payment confirmations via email or text message.
To set up alerts, log into your My Account and click on “Notifications” in the menu. Choose the alerts you want to receive and how you want to receive them. Alerts help you stay on top of your account status.
Go Paperless
Save time and clutter by going paperless and receiving electronic statements rather than mailed paper bills. You’ll get an email notification each month when your new statement is ready to view.
To enroll in paperless billing, log into My Account and select the “Paperless Billing” option. This allows you to manage bills conveniently online rather than keeping hard copies. It’s better for the environment too!
Review your statement details online and keep your payment info handy so you can easily pay on or before the due date. Avoid paper buildup and have 24/7 access to your account by going paperless.
Set Up Automatic Payments
For ultimate bill paying convenience, enroll in automatic payments through Service Electric. This automatically pays your monthly bill from your bank account on the due date so you never miss a payment.
To get started, log into My Account and go to the Auto Bill Pay section. Enter your bank account information and the monthly payment amount. Your payments will be made on the due date going forward.
Automatic payments save you time and give peace of mind. You don’t have to remember to manually make payments or worry about incurring late fees. Just be sure to review your monthly statements so you know how much is being deducted.
Paying your Service Electric bill should be quick and painless each month. Enroll in My Account, go paperless and set up automatic payments to simplify the process. Use online, phone, mail or in-person options to pay on time and avoid late charges. Managing your account online makes bill pay easy.
