PECO

Determining if Service Line Exists

1. Check your PECO utility bill. If you see a “natural gas” itemization, then you already have the necessary line.

2. Check outside your home for a natural gas meter. If there is one, then you have the necessary line.

3. If you're still unsure, call PECO at 1-888-499-7808. Please have your account number ready (see upper left hand corner of your utility bill).

Having a Line Installed

If you do not already have a natural gas service line, you may be able to have one installed if it is available in your area. Homes currently without a natural gas service line are eligible for PECO credits toward the installation costs of a natural gas service line for each qualifying natural gas appliance installed, in addition to any other rebates or discounts for which you may be eligible.

There may be a cost associated with adding a service line to your property. Contact PECO at 1-888-499-7808 or naturalgasconversions@exeloncorp.com.

Service Line Installation Process

Having a natural gas service line installed involves the following:

Specially trained technicians dig up a small area near the street in front of your house to expose the gas main.
The technicians "tap" a new service line into this main by using a device that burrows through the ground and surfaces right next to your home.
A meter technician then mounts a natural gas meter to your home.
Your EAP Natural Gas Conversion Contractor (or contractor of your choice) can make arrangements with PECO to schedule the work with minimal disruption.

Natural Gas Availability

It is possible that natural gas is not available for your home. If your home is not close enough to a nearby gas main to allow technicians to install a natural gas service line to your home economically then you will not be able to convert to natural gas.

PECO is continuously improving our system infrastructure and expanding our capacity. To find out whether your property resides along an existing gas main, contact PECO at 1-888-499-7808. Please have your account number ready (see upper left hand corner of your utility bill).
