ComEd Utility: Service Territory, Rates & Electric Choice

Does switching electricity suppliers interrupt service?

No. Switching suppliers does not require a physical change to the customer's electric connection and is designed to occur without an interruption of service.

Who do I call if my power goes out?

Customers in the ComEd service territory should continue to contact ComEd for outages and utility delivery problems, regardless of which company supplies their electricity.

Is the cheapest ComEd electricity rate always the best?

Not necessarily. The best option depends on your electricity usage, contract terms, fees, rate structure, and overall expected cost.

What should I compare before switching?

Compare the supply rate, Price to Compare, contract length, rate type, fees, cancellation provisions, renewal terms, and expected cost based on your typical electricity usage.

Final Takeaway

Understanding the ComEd utility starts with separating electricity delivery from electricity supply.

ComEd remains responsible for delivering electricity and maintaining the local distribution system, while eligible customers can choose among available electricity supply options.

For consumers comparing ComEd service territory electricity options, the most important step is to look beyond a headline rate. Compare your actual usage, supply price, contract terms, fees, Price to Compare, and renewal conditions.
