The holidays are an exciting time and we know December is a busy month for everyone. This holiday season, simplify the way your pay your electric bill by enrolling in Horry Electric’s Bank Draft program.
This free, easy and convenient payment option allows you to pay your bill on time every month without writing a check or calling in to the payment line.
When a member signs up, Horry Electric will begin automatically drafting their checking or savings account for the amount of their monthly electric bill on the due date. Members will still continue to receive statements showing their kWh use and the amount due, but will not have to write a check or visit the office. There are also no convenience fees.
This month, any member who signs up as a new participant in the Bank Draft program will be automatically entered into a prize drawing for one of five $50 electric bill credits.
Members have until 11:59 p.m. on Saturday, December 31 to sign up. You can sign up by logging in to the MyEnergy Online portal, clicking here, or calling (843) 369-2211 to speak to a member service representative during regular business hours. Members can also sign up via our free HEC mobile app.
The winners will be announced in early January.
