Bill and Payment Options

  • Budget Billing: Want to know exactly how much you’ll pay each month? Budget Billing is a predictable monthly payment based on your electricity usage from the last 12 months. It balances seasonal spikes and higher bills by creating a steady monthly payment. To help keep your budget on track, your Budget Bill payment will be reviewed every six months. Adjustments will be made as needed to help keep the monthly payment in line with your actual usage. 
  • Deferred Payment Arrangements: Large or past-due bills can be overwhelming. A Deferred Payment Arrangement can help. Once you make a down payment on the amount owed, the remaining balance is paid through installments in addition to your regular monthly bill.

Energy Efficiency Program

On a budget? The ComEd® Energy Efficiency Program offers multiple ways for you to control energy use, lower your bill, and improve the comfort of your home. If you have a low- or moderate-income household, you may be eligible for a free energy savings kit. You can also pick up free LED lightbulbs at participating food pantries or take advantage of in-store instant discounts on LEDs and other energy-saving products at participating retailers. If your home is eligible, you may receive home energy upgrades, including draft sealing and insulation, at no charge. Visit ComEd.com/IncomeEligible or call 855-433-2700 to learn more.
