As a New Hampshire resident and Liberty Utilities customer for over 5 years now, I’ve learned the ins and outs of paying my electric and gas bills on time each month. From paper checks to online payments, Liberty offers several options to fit every payment preference.
In this comprehensive guide I’ll walk through the various ways you can pay your Liberty Utilities bill in New Hampshire. Whether you want to mail payments, pay online use cash, or auto-draft from your bank account, I’ve got you covered on the details.
An Overview of Liberty Utilities
First, a quick introduction to Liberty Utilities for those new to the provider. Liberty Utilities is the electric and natural gas utility company for many cities and towns across New Hampshire. They deliver services, maintain infrastructure, and send monthly bills to customers.
As a Liberty customer you’ll receive a bill each month covering your usage of electricity and/or natural gas. It’s crucial to pay this bill by the due date to avoid late fees or service disconnection.
Fortunately, Liberty offers many payment options to choose from. Let’s look at each of them in more depth!
Paying Your Bill Online
The easiest and most convenient way to pay your Liberty Utilities bill is through online payment on their website. You can either make a one-time payment or set up recurring payments.
For one-time online payments, visit the Liberty website and click on “Pay My Bill.” You can then enter your account details and make a payment via credit card, debit card or checking account. There is a small $1.75 processing fee.
To make things even simpler, you can enroll in paperless billing and scheduled recurring payments through the Liberty online portal. This securely pulls your bill amount each month automatically.
Online payments post to your account almost instantly, so it’s a great option if your due date is near. Just make sure to save your payment confirmation!
Paying by Phone
In addition to online payments, you can pay your Liberty Utilities bill over the phone using their self-service payment line.
To pay by phone, dial 1-800-375-7413 and select the payment option. You’ll need to have your account number, card details, and payment amount ready to input. There is again a small processing fee of $1.75.
Phone payments work great for quick, one-off payments whenever you need to get a bill settled. However, online options or auto-draft work better for regular monthly payments.
Setting Up Automatic Bank Draft
If you want to “set it and forget it” when paying bills, automatic bank draft takes the effort out of paying monthly.
With bank draft, Liberty Utilities will withdraw your bill payment directly from your bank account each month. No more writing checks or clicking payment buttons!
To start bank draft, complete the authorization form on the Liberty website. Provide your account details and attach a voided check. Drafts will then take place on your bill due date each month.
Just be sure you have enough in your account to cover the bill amount on draft day. And give notice if you need to cancel the draft for any reason.
Paying by Mail
The old-fashioned way of paying bills – by check in the mail – is still an option with Liberty.
Each bill includes a payment stub and mailing envelope. Detach the stub, include it with your check, and mail to:
Liberty Utilities
75 Remittance Dr, Suite 1032
Chicago, IL 60675-1032
To avoid late fees, drop your payment in the mail at least 5-7 days before the due date to allow for transit time. Make sure to account for holidays or weekends that can delay mail delivery.
Paying in Person
If you prefer to pay your bill in person, Liberty Utilities has authorized payment locations where you can do so.
You can pay with cash, check, or money order at places like Walmart, local grocery stores, check cashing stores, and more. Bring your bill to have the account number handy.
To find authorized in-person payment agents near you, search the payment location listings on the Liberty website. Avoid paying anywhere not officially authorized.
Paying with Cash
For those who prefer to deal strictly in cash, paying your Liberty bill in cash is easy.
Head to any Walmart location in New Hampshire – they accept cash bill payments for Liberty Utilities with no additional fees. Western Union also accepts cash bill payments across the state.
Bring your full bill amount due in cash and they’ll accept payment and provide a receipt showing your account balance is paid and up to date.
Avoid Late Fees and Disconnection
No matter which payment method you choose, the key is paying your Liberty Utilities bill in full by the due date listed. This avoids late payment penalties or service disconnection.
I recommend enrolling in paperless billing and auto-draft if possible so your payment happens automatically each month. But if mailing payments, allow 5-7 days for delivery time.
Don’t let your account become past due. Catch up on any missed payments as soon as possible and contact Liberty to discuss alternate payment arrangements if needed. Maintaining utility service is essential.
Choose the Best Option for You
As you can see, Liberty Utilities offers a range of bill payment choices – online, phone, mail, automatic bank drafts, and cash/in-person payments.
Take some time to review the options and pick the method that fits your needs and preferences. Most importantly – pay on time, every time. Avoid the headaches of late fees and disruption of your electric and gas services.
