Budget Billing Blues Got You Singing the Same Old Tune? Here's How to Cancel with Georgia Power (and Maybe Finally Afford That Inflatable Flamingo Pool Float)
Let's face it, budget billing with Georgia Power can be a double-edged sword. Sure, it's nice to have a predictable monthly bill, but what happens when summer rolls around, and you crank the AC up to Antarctica-levels? Suddenly, your "predictable" bill feels more like a surprise tax audit on your wallet.
Fear not, fellow electricity warriors! If budget billing is no longer your jam, cancelling it is easier than explaining to your grandma why you can't hear her on the phone because you're blasting heavy metal while wearing noise-cancelling headphones.
Here's how to ditch budget billing and reclaim control of your electricity bill:
Calling the Cavalry (or Rather, Customer Service)
The most straightforward way to cancel budget billing is to pick up that phone and dial the friendly folks at Georgia Power customer service. Yes, we know, calling customer service can be like trying to decipher a fortune cookie written in Klingon. But take a deep breath, put on your best "customer service voice" (think cheerful but firm), and dial 1-888-660-5890 (residential customers) or 1-888-655-5888 (business customers).
