How to pay your Evergy bill
Evergy operates electric and gas utilities across Kansas and Missouri. You can pay your bill through their website, by phone, through automatic bank transfers, or by mailing a check. The fastest method is online through your Evergy account, which takes a few minutes and posts within one business day. If you prefer not to use the internet, you can call their payment line or set up autopay so the bill is paid automatically each month.
Your bill arrives by mail or email depending on your account settings. The due date is printed on the front of your bill, usually 20 to 25 days after the bill date. Paying after the due date triggers a late fee, though Evergy typically allows a grace period of a few days before disconnection notices are sent.
Key Takeaways
- Pay online through your Evergy account at evergy.com or through the Evergy mobile app without fees or delays.
- Call Evergy's automated payment line at 1-888-554-4752 to pay by debit card or bank account over the phone.
- Set up automatic monthly payments from your bank account to avoid missing due dates and late fees.
- Mail a check to the address on your bill if you do not have internet or phone access, but allow at least 10 days for delivery.
- Late payments trigger a fee and may result in a disconnection notice if unpaid for 30 days or more.
Paying online through your Evergy account
Go to evergy.com and log in with your account number and password. If you do not have an online account, you can create one by entering your account number, zip code, and the last four digits of the phone number on file. Once logged in, select "Pay My Bill" or "Make a Payment" from the menu.
Enter the amount you want to pay — you can pay the full balance, a partial amount, or a different amount if you choose. Select your payment method: debit card, credit card, or bank account. Bank account transfers are free; credit and debit card payments charge a small fee (usually $1 to $3 depending on the amount). Review the payment details and confirm. The payment posts within one business day.
You can also read the Evergy mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play and pay the same way. The app shows your current balance, usage history, and due date in one place.
Paying by phone
Call Evergy's automated payment line at 1-888-554-4752. You will need your account number and a debit card or bank account ready. The system will ask you to enter your account number using your phone keypad, then guide you through selecting the payment amount and payment method.
Payments made by phone are processed the same day and post within one business day. If you prefer to speak with a representative instead of using the automated system, you can call 1-888-554-4752 and press the option to speak with a customer service agent, though wait times may be longer during business hours.
Setting up automatic payments
Autopay removes the need to remember your due date each month. Log into your Evergy account online, go to "Billing and Payments," and select "Autopay" or "Automatic Payments." Choose whether you want to pay the full bill amount or a set dollar amount each month. Select your payment method (bank account is free; card payments charge a fee) and the day of the month you want the payment to come out.
Once autopay is active, the payment is deducted automatically on your chosen date. You can change or cancel autopay at any time through your account. Even with autopay on, you should still review your bill each month to catch billing errors or unusual usage.
Paying by mail
Write a check or money order for the amount due and include the payment stub from your bill. The stub has your account number printed on it, which helps Evergy match your payment to your account. Mail it to the address printed on your bill — this address may differ depending on which Evergy division serves your area.
Mail payments take 7 to 10 days to arrive and may take another few days to post to your account. If your due date is approaching, mail is not the fastest option. Evergy considers a payment on time if it is postmarked by the due date, not if it arrives by the due date, so plan accordingly.
What happens if you miss the due date
A late fee is added to your account if payment is not received by the due date. The fee amount varies but is typically a percentage of your bill or a flat amount. You can still pay the bill plus the late fee online, by phone, or by mail without penalty.
If your bill remains unpaid for 30 days or more past the due date, Evergy sends a disconnection notice. This notice gives you a window (usually 10 to 15 days) to pay the full amount owed before your service is shut off. If you cannot pay in full, contact Evergy to discuss payment plans or hardship programs that may be available in your area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a fee to pay my Evergy bill online?
No fee if you pay from a bank account. Credit and debit card payments charge a small fee, usually $1 to $3 depending on the payment amount. The fee is disclosed before you confirm the payment, so you can choose your payment method based on cost.
Can I pay someone else's Evergy bill?
Yes. You can pay online or by phone using the account number of the person whose bill you are paying. You do not need to be the account holder. If paying by mail, include the account number on the check so Evergy knows which account to credit.
What if I pay too much?
Overpayments stay on your account as a credit and are applied to your next bill. If you want a refund instead, contact Evergy customer service and request one. Refunds typically take one to two billing cycles to process.
How do I know if my payment went through?
Online and phone payments show a confirmation number when ready after you complete the transaction. Check your account the next business day to confirm the payment posted. For mail payments, allow 10 to 15 days and then log into your account or call to verify.
Can I set up a payment plan if I owe a lot?
Contact Evergy directly at 1-888-554-4752 or through your online account to discuss options. Many utilities offer payment plans for customers who cannot pay the full amount at once, though terms vary by location and your account history.
