Frequently asked questions

What is the Automatic Connect Program for property managers?

The Automatic Connect program ensures qualified property managers always have power at their rental units when they need it.
This program automatically connects electric service in the property manager’s name when tenants move out and cancel service. This means property managers:

  • Don’t have to call each time a tenant moves out to open an account and have power connected
  • Will have electric service in case they need to maintain or showcase the location
  • Will not have interruption to important electrical devices – like refrigerators and outdoor security lights
  • Will be responsible for the electric usage until the new tenant establishes an account
  • Will notify FPL whenever they wish to change the agreement (i.e. discontinue, add or delete a rental property)
