We’ve partnered with TermSync to help you spend less time on billing. Your customer portal makes it quick and easy to receive paperless invoices, pay your bill online, and more.
Are you tired of juggling different payment methods for your Demco bills? Whether you’re dealing with DEMCO energy services or Demco Inc. supplies, I’ve put together this comprehensive guide to help you navigate all your payment options. As someone who’s used both services, I understand how confusing it can be to keep track of different account numbers and payment portals!
Understanding the Two Demcos
Before diving into payment options, let’s clarify something important – there are actually two different companies named Demco:
- DEMCO (Dixie Electric Membership Corporation) – An energy utility cooperative providing electricity services
- Demco, Inc. – A library, school, and office supplies company
Each has their own billing system and payment options, which is why many folks get confused. Let’s break down both!
DEMCO Energy: Ways to Pay Your Electric Bill
DEMCO energy cooperative offers several convenient ways to pay your electric bill without any convenience fees for most payment methods.

What I love about DEMCO energy is that they don’t charge convenience fees for most payment methods, which saves me money when paying my electric bill!

Tips for Managing Your Demco Payments
Having dealt with both Demco billing systems, I’ve learned a few tricks that might help you:
1. Keep Account Numbers Separate
Don’t mix up your DEMCO energy account number with your Demco, Inc. supplies account number! I made this mistake once and ended up with a late payment notice.
2. Use Auto-Pay When Possible
For regular bills like DEMCO energy, setting up bank draft through the MyDEMCO portal saves time and prevents late fees. I’ve been using this for two years and haven’t had to worry about due dates since.
3. Understand Your Bill
DEMCO energy provides a detailed breakdown of your electric bill through their “Understanding Your Bill” section on their website. This helped me identify why my summer bills were higher and adjust my usage accordingly.
4. Consider Levelized Billing for Energy
If you’re a DEMCO energy customer dealing with seasonal fluctuations, look into their Levelized Billing option. This spreads costs more evenly throughout the year, which helped my budget tremendously.
5. Check for Assistance Programs
DEMCO energy offers:
- Payment arrangement options
- Community assistance programs
If your struggling with payments, don’t hesitate to reach out about these programs.
