Cheltenham Township, PA Electricity Rates & Electric Choice

Cheltenham Township borders Philadelphia's northwest edge, taking in Elkins Park, Wyncote, Melrose Park, Cheltenham Village, and part of Glenside, where Arcadia University's Grey Towers Castle stands. Grand older homes share the township with apartment buildings and garden complexes along Old York Road and Township Line Road, so both owners and renters make electricity decisions here. 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 Cheltenham 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 Cheltenham Township (Montgomery County)

Cheltenham is generally PECO territory, where retail choice applies; the upper county includes PPL Electric Utilities and a couple of borough-run systems. Verify by address on your bill or PAPowerSwitch.

For apartment and rental households:

• The account holder decides. If electric is in your name, you can shop; if it's included in rent or on a building meter, the landlord does.
• Leases and contracts don't always line up. A long supply contract can outlast your lease, with an exit fee on the way out.
• Individually metered apartments get their own PECO bill and PTC.
• Delivery stays with PECO, including outage response.

What to check on your Cheltenham Township bill

1. Your EDC — expect PECO.
2. Default service or an EGS contract.
3. PECO's Price to Compare (PTC) for your rate class.
4. Contract end date, exit fee, and fixed vs. variable pricing.
5. Whose name is on the account, and any renewable features you care about.

Before signing a new lease, ask whether electric is separately metered. It decides whether any of the choices on this page are yours to make.

When NOT to switch

• Your lease ends before the contract does, and there's an exit fee.
• Electric is included in rent or on a shared meter.
• You're mid-contract and leaving costs more than it saves.
• The offer doesn't clearly beat PECO's PTC after fees and terms.
• Default service is acceptable and simplicity matters.
• You haven't compared apples to apples on term length and teaser pricing.
