What is the purpose of the PECO Service and Meter Application form?
The PECO Service and Meter Application form is used to request electric service and meter installation from PECO. It is essential for both new service requests and modifications to existing service, such as load increases or relocations. Completing this form accurately ensures that the application is processed efficiently and that all necessary information is provided for service setup.
What information is required from the customer on the application?
Customers must provide their name, service location, and either their Driver's License Number or Social Security Number. Additionally, the application requires the customer's PECO billing address or account number, and details about the electrician or contractor involved in the request. It is also important to include the service characteristics, load information, and any specific comments or requests related to the service.
How should I submit the completed application?
Once the application is completed, it should be mailed or faxed to the appropriate PECO regional office. The specific office depends on the location where the service is requested. It is crucial to check that all required fields are filled out to avoid delays in processing.
What happens if I do not provide all necessary information?
Incomplete applications may result in processing delays. PECO requires all sections of the form to be filled out accurately to ensure that service can be installed in a timely manner. If information is missing, the application may be returned for completion, which can extend the time needed to establish service.
What should I do if I am demolishing a building?
If you are demolishing a building and need PECO to remove electric or gas facilities, it is important to call 8-1-1 (PA One Call) for a demolition request. This step ensures that all necessary precautions are taken and that service is properly disconnected before demolition begins.
What is the timeline for processing the application?
PECO reserves the right to cancel the request if no further communication is received from the customer within 90 days of PECO's response date. Therefore, it is advisable to respond promptly to any inquiries or requests for additional information from PECO to avoid cancellation of the service request.
