In Connecticut, utility companies that provide natural gas and/or electric service are limited by law as to when and under what circumstances they are permitted to shut off a customer's service.
• Life-threatening Shut-offs: Electric and gas companies may not shut off or refuse to turn on utility service at any time during the year if a lack of service is life-threatening, regardless of the amount of money a customer owes.
• Winter Shut-offs: Protection for low-income persons from winter shut-offs that are not life-threatening is available from November 1 to May 1, under certain circumstances, depending on whether the company provides electric or gas service.
For a detailed explanation of what these limits are and how this affects your electric or natural gas service, see the pamphlet “Rights of Utility Customers”, published by the Legal Assistance Resource Center of Connecticut. See the link:
