Ok, when we move there are a lot of things that we think about. School systems, main roads, close to work, shopping and such. But did you know that here in Decatur there are two separate company’s that you could end up with your electric service from? It’s true.

On the edge of town, opposite of Madison/Huntsville area, you may end up with Joe Wheeler Electric. Inside of Decatur you should have Decatur Utilities. My personal recommendation is Decatur Utilities. When I first moved here I lived in Wheeler Estates Apartments and had Joe Wheeler Electric. I didn’t know any better! After meeting people around town and comparing notes I discovered that the general consensus is that Decatur Utilities is cheaper. Well everyone, from my own experience (I know live near Decatur Hospital) I can tell you that Decatur Utilities IS cheaper! So much so in fact that last year when I was looking for a new place to move to my first question was always ‘Is it Decatur Utilities or Joe Wheeler Electric?’. If they said Joe Wheeler, I said ‘never mind’.

So I just want to remind you that when you are on your hunt for a home or apartment, or anywhere you rest your head for that matter, go ahead and ask which electric service you will get. At the very least you will have a heads up!
