• New to the BTES Service Area?

  To sign up for BTES’ services, fill out our online application. Please submit two forms of identification with one being a photo id and proof of occupancy if renting or proof of ownership if purchasing. You can simply attach these within the online application, fax them to 423-793-5520 or email them to customerexperience@btes.net. Once your application and supporting documentation is received, a BTES Representative will contact you to finalize your new service application.

  If you’d prefer, you may visit our office at 2470 Volunteer Parkway to fill out an application in person. You may print an application here to have prepared ahead of time.

  A service activation charge of $25 for next business day activation or $50 for same day activation and a deposit (if applicable) are required at the time of application. A deposit equal to approximately twice the highest estimated monthly bill or a suitable guarantor's agreement (a current residential BTES customer that has perfect pay history) may be required of any customer. A residential deposit, including any earned interest, may be refunded after twelve (12) consecutive months in which all payments were made on or before the due date, no payments were rejected or declined by the Customer’s financial institution, and a satisfactory credit rating is maintained.
