PECO reads your meter approximately every 30 days. Your billing cycle may not align with calendar months. The meter reading determines your actual kWh usage for the period, which is multiplied by your rate to calculate energy charges.
Occasionally PECO may estimate your usage if the meter reader cannot access your meter. Estimated bills are based on historical usage patterns. If you receive an estimated bill, the next actual reading will true up the difference, which can cause a surprisingly high or low bill.
Your PECO bill is typically due 20-25 days after the statement date. Late payments may incur a fee of 1-2% of the outstanding balance. Setting up autopay ensures you never miss a due date and may qualify you for a small discount with some utilities.
