About SmartHub
What is SmartHub?
On the go and in control. Now you can manage your account like never before!
SmartHub has several features that make managing your account as easy as possible. Whether on your computer, smartphone, or tablet (Android or iOS), you’ll be able to pay your bill, view your usage, report outages and get the latest NOVEC news.
As soon as you log in, you’ll be able to view your billing history and make a payment with just a couple of clicks. You’ll be able to see your current bill, along with bills from the previous month or even the previous seasons, if you want to compare costs. Not only will you see your billing history, but you’ll be able to view how much energy you use. You can see how your usage is trending over time, which will allow you to take steps to lower your bill.
Making payments through SmartHub is fast and easy. The first time you make a payment online or through our app on your mobile device, you’ll be able to securely store your payment information for future transactions. The next time you need to pay your bill, it will only take a couple of clicks.
You’ll also be able to see important notices with SmartHub. You can select how you want to be notified about your bill, including emails and text messages. You’ll even be able to set usage thresholds so that you’ll know when you’re using more than you’d like, which will help you keep your electricity bill as low as possible.
Reporting a service issue is a snap with the SmartHub mobile app. There’s no need to call — just let us know with a few clicks or taps.
