How to Save 50% on PECO Bills
PECO's Customer Assistance Program (CAP) is one of the most valuable savings tools for eligible Philadelphia residents. CAP limits your monthly electric and gas payments to a percentage of your household income — typically 6–10% — regardless of how much energy you use. For a family earning $30,000 annually, this can reduce a $200/month bill to $50–$75. CAP also eliminates past-due balances for participants. Our group provides eligibility requirements and application assistance.
Pennsylvania's deregulated energy market allows PECO customers to shop for competitive electricity and gas suppliers. By comparing rates through PA Power Switch (papowerswitch.com), customers can often find fixed-rate plans 10–20% below PECO's default supply rate. The key is to lock in rates during low-demand periods and avoid variable-rate plans that spike during extreme weather. Our group tracks competitive rates and alerts members when optimal locking windows appear.
PECO's energy efficiency programs offer rebates and discounts on home improvements that reduce energy consumption. The free home energy audit identifies the most impactful improvements, and PECO offers rebates of $100–$1,000 for insulation, air sealing, and Energy Star appliance upgrades. For income-qualifying households, these improvements may be available at no cost through Pennsylvania's Weatherization Assistance Program. Our group shares audit scheduling links and contractor recommendations.
