Security Deposit:
By entering your Social Security Number or Tax ID, you agree to allow DLC to access your credit report to determine if a security deposit will be required before we provide electric service. If you elect not to provide a Social Security Number or Tax ID, a mailed application is required. You may submit your printable application and required documentation through applicationsforservice@duqlight.com, fax to 412-393-5881, or mail to the address listed on the application.
Please Note:
If the service is currently OFF at the location you are requesting new service, please ensure that the main breaker at this location is in the OFF position. For safety reasons, service will not be connected until the main breaker is in the OFF position. Please also make sure DLC has access to your meter. Once your order is completed, be sure to flip your main breaker back ON, or put the main fuse back IN.
