You may start your electric service by calling BED at 865-7300 or stopping by the main office at 585 Pine Street in Burlington between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Please have the following information available: Social Security number, driver’s license, and the name, address and phone number of the nearest relative or friend not living with you.

In 1990, BED eliminated the need for a deposit from a customer starting electric service. (If a customer has been through bankruptcy proceedings within the past seven years, where a balance for electrical service has been forgiven by BED, a deposit may be required.)
