Direct Pay

With our Direct Pay Service, your electric, gas and water heater lease bills will always be taken care of - on time, every time - automatically, from your checking account. You still receive a Central Hudson statement in the mail (either monthly or every other month, whichever you're used to) but it will be clearly marked "Do Not Pay." You'll have time to review your statement before your payment is deducted from your bank account, so we can discuss any questions you have beforehand.

Time-of-Use Billing
Time-of-Use is an optional billing method for residential customers to purchase their electricity based on when the actual use of electricity occurs. Time-of-Use pricing charges customers lower prices for electricity used during periods of low overall electric demand (off-peak hours) and higher prices during periods of higher electric demand (on-peak hours). By shifting the consumption of electricity to periods of lower demand, customers can take advantage of lower-cost energy. For more information on Time-of-Use Billing click here.
