Existing residential connection

If you need to apply for service for an existing home, NBU will calculate the average of the past 12 months utility bills and multiply that amount by two to determine the deposit. Half of that amount will be due up front and the remaining balance will be added to your utility bill in one installment.

Letter of Credit

In lieu of a deposit, you may submit a Letter of Credit from another utility company. The letter must demonstrate a current one-year utility payment history with no more than one late payment in the last 12 months.

Connection fee

A connection fee of $25 will be charged and added to your first month's bill.

Disconnecting service

To discontinue residential service, you can fill out a disconnect notice at our office or bring in, fax or mail a signed letter requesting the disconnect and directing NBU where to send your final bill.

If you have any questions, call Customer Service at (830) 629-8400, 606-2074 (San Antonio metro) or send e-mail to wthompson@nbutexas.com. You can send a fax to NBU at (830) 629-2119
