Comed Pay Bill Login Online : Commonwealth Edison Company Bill Payment
Bill Payment Assistance helps families pay their ComEd bill via a grant for income-eligible customers. ComEd collaborated with Neighborhood Housing Services of Chicago (NHS) to support a new grant to help ComEd customers pay their bill.
Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is a federally administered program that can help you stay warm in winter without upsetting your budget. Whether you rent or own your home, LIHEAP offers financial help to limited-income households to pay heat and electric bills.
New Account Number. New Look!
Your account number will change and, if you currently pay your ComEd bill directly through a bank or other financial institution, you will need to update your account number in early 2024 to ensure your payments are applied to your account.
Your bill will also have a new look, the colors and logo will be revised to align with recent brand updates.
Business customer bills will be redesigned to now look more like a residential customer’s energy bill. This change will make it easier to read and understand your business’s supply, delivery and taxes & fees charges.
