Frequently Asked Questions

How does Illinois electricity billing work?
Illinois has a deregulated electricity market. Your bill may come from ComEd (northern Illinois) or Ameren Illinois (central/southern), and you may have a separate supply provider. Both supply and delivery charges need verification.
Does Utility Check support ComEd and Ameren Illinois bills?
Yes. Utility Check supports ComEd, Ameren Illinois, and alternative electricity suppliers in Illinois. We verify both supply and delivery charges, including capacity charges and transmission fees.
What is the ComEd delivery charge on my Illinois bill?
ComEd delivery charges include a customer charge, standard metering service, distribution facilities charge, and various riders and surcharges. These are separate from your electricity supply charges. Utility Check verifies both components independently.
How can I verify my Illinois electricity bill?
Upload your ComEd or Ameren Illinois bill to Utility Check. We recalculate supply charges, delivery charges, capacity charges, and all applicable riders. If you have an alternative supplier, we verify those charges against your contract terms.
