About this site

What this site is

Will I Get Cut Off? is an independent consumer resource that documents utility shutoff rules and consumer protections for all 50 US states. It covers electric, gas, and water services — including how many days' notice utilities must give before disconnection, winter moratorium rules, medical exemptions, and reconnection fees.

Methodology

Data is sourced primarily from state Public Utility Commission (PUC) and Public Service Commission (PSC) websites, cross-referenced with the LIHEAP Clearinghouse and NARUC state regulator directory. All data was verified in September 2026.

Where specific values could not be confirmed from official sources, fields are marked as unknown. We do not publish unverified estimates.

Disclaimer

This is not legal advice. Utility regulations change — rules shown here reflect data verified in September 2026 and may no longer be current. Always verify current rules directly with your state regulator before acting.
