Smart Meters for Your Home

​Smart meters are digital, electric meters that wirelessly provide secure, two-way communication between the meter and ComEd and also allow you access to more information about your usage.

A Smart Meter Provides Three Key Benefits

  1. More control over your energy use to help you save money
  2. Better service by automatically sending meter readings, helping eliminate estimated bills and the need for a meter reader to visit your home
  3. Quicker response times during outages and more efficient outage restoration

 

Smart Meters for ComEd Customers

ComEd has installed over 4 million smart meters in homes and businesses across northern Illinois.

Customers who have smart meters installed at their homes can enjoy:

  • Access to online energy-management tools, high-usage alerts and weekly reports summarizing daily electricity usage to help manage electric bills.
  • The option to enroll in ComEd's Peak Time Savings program, and earn a credit on electric bills by voluntarily reducing electricity use when it is most in demand.​
  • Pay the hourly market price for electricity by signing up for Hourly Pricing and save money by shifting electricity use to times when prices are lower.
  • Fewer estimated bills, and smart meters help eliminate the need for a meter reader to visit your home.
