How do I sign up for service?
A phone call to either (541) 536-2126 or our toll free number, (800) 722-7219, is all that is needed to get the process started. We will ask you some questions and provide or send you an "Application for Service" along with a list of items that we need in order to insure that your service will be done to both your and our satisfaction. You can always stop by our office between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., and one of our Customer Service Representatives will be happy to assist you.
What will the costs be for a new residential service?
Midstate Electric will extend service 200 feet from the existing power pole for $800. Longer service runs and services such as RV, low usage, wells or larger than 200 amp will need to be estimated on a case-by-case basis.
Is there a deposit, how much is it and what is it for?
The deposit requirement for residential service will be determined by the member’s established credit based on the following:
1. Credit rating from a recognized credit bureau based upon Midstate’s credit criteria, or
2. Established credit history with Midstate for 12 continuous months
1. Good credit history- no deposit required
2. Marginal credit history -2 times the average monthly bill for the service location.
