Abington Township, PA Electricity Rates & Electric Choice
Abington Township is one of Montgomery County's largest communities, a mature suburb just north of Philadelphia that takes in Roslyn, Glenside, Ardsley, McKinley, and part of Willow Grove, along with Abington Hospital and Penn State Abington. Most homes are single-family houses and twins built across the 20th century, where summer cooling and winter heating both show up on the bill. In Pennsylvania you can generally choose an electric generation supplier (EGS) while your electric distribution company (EDC) delivers power and restores outages. The Montgomery County territory is PECO / PPL Electric (split), and Abington is generally PECO. Rate Raven is a subscription broker/advisor that monitors rates and helps you decide when switching makes sense — not a supplier.

Electric choice in Abington Township (Montgomery County)
Abington sits in PECO territory, where retail choice generally applies; the upper county includes PPL Electric Utilities and a few borough-run systems. Verify by address on your bill or PAPowerSwitch.
The Abington lesson is fixed vs. variable:
- Fixed-rate supply locks a per-kWh price for the term. Predictable, but read the exit fee and renewal terms.
- Variable-rate supply can change month to month. A low start can rise, and that shows up most in high-usage months.
- Default service follows PECO's Price to Compare, which resets on a published schedule.
- Delivery and outages stay with PECO in every case.
What to check on your Abington Township bill
- Your EDC — expect PECO.
- Default service or an EGS contract.
- PECO's Price to Compare (PTC) for your rate class.
- Contract end date, exit fee, and whether the price is fixed or variable.
- Any renewable or add-on features.
If your bill shows a supplier but no end date, check whether you've rolled onto a variable rate. That's one of the most common surprises for longtime homeowners.
Helpful guides:
When NOT to switch
- The offer is variable and you can't tell how or how much it can change.
- Your current contract's exit fee outweighs any benefit.
- The offer doesn't clearly beat PECO's PTC after fees and terms.
- Default service is acceptable and simplicity matters.
- Your address isn't standard IOU service — confirm first.
- You haven't compared apples to apples on term length and pricing type.
