West Penn Power bill payment options and where to send money
West Penn Power is a utility company that serves parts of Pennsylvania. You can pay your bill online through their website, by phone, by mail, or in person at a payment location. The fastest route is their online portal, which processes payments the same day you submit them during business hours. If you prefer to mail a check, West Penn Power's mailing address is on your bill — payments typically arrive within 5 to 7 business days after you drop them in the mail.
Your bill shows a due date, usually about 20 days from when you receive it. Paying by the due date keeps your account current and avoids late fees. West Penn Power does not charge a fee for online payments made through their website, but some third-party payment services may charge a convenience fee if you use them instead.

- You can also pay by phone at 1-888-WESTPENN (1-888-937-8736) or mail a check to the address printed on your bill.
- Your bill shows a due date; paying by that date avoids late fees and service interruption.

Paying online through West Penn Power's website
Go to westpennpower.com and look for the "Pay My Bill" or "Make a Payment" link, usually near the top of the page. You will need your account number, which appears on your bill. You can pay as a guest without logging in, or create an online account to save your payment information for future bills.
Enter your account number, the amount you want to pay, and your payment method — debit card, credit card, or bank account. West Penn Power processes online payments submitted before 5 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day the same day. Payments submitted after 5 p.m. or on weekends and holidays post the next business day. You will receive a confirmation number when ready after you submit the payment.
If you want to avoid entering your information each month, you can set up autopay through the same portal. Choose the date each month when you want the payment to come out of your account, and West Penn Power will deduct the full bill amount automatically. You can change or cancel autopay anytime through your account.
Paying by phone or through an automated system
Call West Penn Power's customer service line at 1-888-WESTPENN (1-888-937-8736). A representative can take your payment over the phone using a debit card, credit card, or bank account information. Phone payments are available Monday through Friday during business hours, and some automated phone systems may be available outside those hours.
West Penn Power does not charge a fee for phone payments made directly through their customer service line. If you use a third-party payment service or a bill-pay service through your bank, that service may charge its own fee — check before you confirm the payment.
Paying by mail
Write a check or money order payable to West Penn Power. Include your account number on the check. Your bill shows the mailing address where you should send it — do not send payment to a different address unless West Penn Power's website or a representative tells you to.
Mail typically takes 5 to 7 business days to arrive. West Penn Power records the payment when they receive it, not when you mail it, so send your payment early enough that it arrives by the due date. If your payment is late, West Penn Power may charge a late fee and could eventually interrupt your service.
In-person payment locations
Some West Penn Power offices and authorized payment centers accept payments in person. Check westpennpower.com or call 1-888-WESTPENN to find a location near you and confirm their hours. Bring your bill or account number and cash, check, or debit card.
In-person payments are recorded when ready, so this route works well if you are paying close to the due date and want to make sure the payment posts on time. Payment centers may have different hours than West Penn Power offices, so call ahead.
What to do if you cannot pay by the due date
If you know you cannot pay by the due date, contact West Penn Power before the due date passes. Call 1-888-WESTPENN and explain your situation. West Penn Power may be able to extend your due date or set up a payment plan so you can pay the bill in smaller amounts over time.
If your account falls behind and West Penn Power sends a notice of service interruption, you still have time to prevent disconnection — the notice will show a important date. Paying the full amount owed or contacting West Penn Power to arrange a payment plan before that important date will stop the disconnection process.
Understanding your bill and payment confirmation
Your West Penn Power bill shows your account number, the amount due, and the due date. It also shows your current balance and any previous unpaid amounts. When you make a payment, keep the confirmation number or receipt — it proves you paid and when you paid it.
If you pay online, you will see the confirmation number on your screen when ready and can print or screenshot it. If you pay by mail, the canceled check serves as your receipt. If you pay by phone, ask the representative for a confirmation number before you hang up. These records protect you if there is ever a dispute about whether a payment was made.
