Local service context

For a PECO-served restaurant, compare electric refrigeration and the gas cooking account on separate annual usage schedules. Build the electricity and natural gas comparison from complete meter-level bills, the current service classification and signed supply documents. Show utility charges, supplier charges and forecast usage separately so a lower unit rate is not mistaken for a guaranteed reduction in the total bill.

Apply the Pennsylvania eligibility rules

Customers in participating electric distribution territories can compare licensed electric generation suppliers with the applicable default supply arrangement. The utility still handles delivery. Establish the current price-to-compare components and account class before treating an advertised supplier price as equivalent.

Natural gas choice is utility- and account-specific. Confirm the gas distribution company, current supplier and transportation or choice terms separately from the electricity arrangement. A dual-commodity request should include separate usage units and contract dates.

Account checks before requesting offers

For this PECO account, resolve the service-territory and contract questions below before using a price comparison. The current invoice, exact address and account class provide the starting evidence.

  • Read the electric rate schedule and supplier section before selecting the appropriate utility baseline.
  • For a gas inquiry, supply a separate bill and confirm transportation eligibility, units and enrollment dates directly.
  • Verify the current PECO premises, authorized signer and active supplier before making a change; request a complete written offer instead of relying on an advertised rate.
