Help for our Customers

Customers sometimes need help, and we’re here for them. We have programs and partnerships that provide utility bill payment support for those in need, and we offer flexible payment extensions to qualifying customers, allowing them more time to pay their bills.

Our Share program helps pay the energy bills of customers facing hardships. The program is powered by our customers, team members and community partners. TECO matches every contribution dollar-for-dollar, up to $500,000 each year.

We also offer dozens of energy- and money-saving programs, from energy audits to rebates, and a Neighborhood Weatherization program for qualifying communities.
