PECO continues to deliver innovative solutions to benefit our
customers. The company recently launched a suite of enhanced online
and mobile tools to give more control to our customers and keep them
better informed.
ALERTS: PECO customers now have greater control and access to important
account information through text, email or phone. Customers can choose how
they would like to receive information about outages, energy usage, billing,
payment and more.
ENHANCED OUTAGE MAP: This tool provides customers with more information
when service is interrupted, including the number of customers affected. The
map also includes the cause of the outage, if a crew has been dispatched and
the estimated time when service is expected to be restored.
ADVANCED EQUIPMENT & TECHNOLOGY: Our advanced electric and natural
gas meters provide information and tools to help customers make informed
decisions about their energy use. In addition, the meters provide enhanced
outage information that significantly aids in response and restoration work
during storms. We also continue to install equipment like tree-resistant wire to
better withstand falling limbs and devices to automatically restore power.
