Gas, Electricity
NATURAL GAS
Florida City Gas supplies natural gas to most of Brevard. Contact them at 1-800-993-7546 to establish an account or request to be contacted at: https://www.floridacitygas.com/residential. A deposit is required for a meter, calculated according to the amount of monthly gas usage. There is also a start-up deposit of $50. The meter deposit is refunded with interest after 12 months to customers with good payment records.
ELECTRICITY with FPL 321.723.7795
Florida Power & Light is the company that provides electricity in Brevard County. You can start new service online at: https://app.fpl.com/sowww2/SowwwHtmlController?command=displayWelcomeCommand
To start service at a home, you will need:
- Address where you want service
- Social security/social insurance or driver’s license number
- Preferred start date
FPL uses a credit scoring system to determine if a deposit is required in order to open an account. Customers who are required to pay a deposit are required to provide a deposit equal to two month’s expected electricity use when the home is occupied, which is standard utility practice. For example, if you occupy your home year-round and use an average of $100 of electricity per month, the deposit amount would be $200. Your deposit is refunded with any earned interest when the account is closed or after 23 months of consecutive service barring any problems with payment during that time.
