Request your consultation
Answer a few questions about your home and your electric bill. It takes about 2 minutes. Uploading a bill is optional.
We reach out to schedule
An Ashborn agent contacts you during business hours, Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–9 p.m. Eastern, to set up an in-person or virtual appointment, subject to availability. Submitting the form does not book a time on its own.
Review your options
Your Advisor walks through your bill and what may fit your home. If you choose to move forward, a participating independent provider handles quotes and installation.
Home energy options we can review with you
Every home is different. These are the options your Advisor can talk through, based on your bill and your property.
Heating and cooling
HVAC and heat pumps
An older furnace, boiler or air conditioner can drive high winter and summer bills. A newer, efficient system may lower the energy your home needs.
Make your own power
Solar
For the right roof and usage, solar can reduce how much electricity you buy from the grid. Your advisor will review whether it fits your home and your numbers.
Backup power
Battery storage
Keep essentials running during outages and store energy for later, on its own or paired with solar.
Use less
Efficiency and utility programs
Insulation, air sealing and your utility’s own efficiency programs can add up. Your advisor can point you to what may be available.

Why Pennsylvania electric bills are changing
Your bill has several parts, and more than one of them has been moving.
Supply price
The Price to Compare reset higher
On June 1, 2026, the default supply price rose at every major Pennsylvania utility, from about 1.5% at PPL to more than 10% at Penelec, West Penn Power and UGI Electric.2
Regional grid costs
Capacity costs near the cap
Pennsylvania is part of PJM, the regional grid. PJM’s last three capacity auctions cleared at or near the maximum price allowed, and those costs flow into the supply part of bills.3
Delivery
Delivery charges can rise too
The wires side of your bill is set in rate cases before the Pennsylvania PUC. For example, new PPL delivery rates took effect July 1, 2026.4
Demand
Demand is growing faster than supply
In its July 2026 auction for the June 2028 to May 2029 delivery year, PJM secured about 6,800 MW less than its reliability requirement, after a shortfall of about 6,500 MW in the previous auction. PJM says this means slimmer reserves and more risk, not that outages are expected.3

Three numbers on your bill worth understanding
1. How many kWh you use. Your monthly usage, and how it changes between summer and winter. Big seasonal swings often point to heating, cooling or insulation.
2. Your supply price per kWh. Either your utility’s Price to Compare or the rate from a supplier you chose. You can compare offers on PAPowerSwitch.com, the PUC’s shopping site.
3. Delivery and fixed charges. What your utility charges to deliver power, plus a monthly customer charge. These apply no matter who supplies your electricity.
Pennsylvania’s utility efficiency programs (Act 129)
Under Act 129, Pennsylvania’s large electric utilities run energy efficiency programs for their customers. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection reports that the state has saved over 8.8 million megawatt-hours of electricity since 2009, resulting in $6.4 billion in savings to Pennsylvania electric customers.5 These are statewide program results, not an estimate of savings for any home. What each utility offers is set by that utility and can change. Ashborn does not administer these programs.
Questions Pennsylvania homeowners ask
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. The consultation with an Ashborn Advisor is free, and there is no obligation to purchase anything.
Is the consultation in person or virtual?
Either may be available. When an Ashborn agent contacts you to schedule, you can say which you prefer. Availability of each format depends on where you live.
What happens after I submit the form?
An Ashborn agent will contact you by phone, text or email during business hours, Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–9 p.m. Eastern (7 a.m.–7 p.m. Mountain), to schedule your consultation. Requests sent after hours or on a weekend are followed up starting the next business day. Submitting the form does not book an appointment by itself. Having a recent electric bill handy helps. You can opt out of communications at any time.
Who is Ashborn? Is this my utility or a government program?
No. Ashborn Partners LLC is an independent referral service. We provide the consultation; participating independent providers supply products and installation. We are not your utility, an electricity supplier or a government agency, and we are not affiliated with PECO, PPL, FirstEnergy, Duquesne Light, UGI, the Pennsylvania PUC or the Pennsylvania DEP.
Which utility service areas can request a review?
Homeowners served by PECO, PPL Electric, Duquesne Light, Met-Ed, Penelec, Penn Power, West Penn Power, UGI Electric, electric cooperatives and municipal utilities can request a consultation. This does not mean Ashborn works with or is affiliated with your utility. The consultation format, providers and products available depend on your location.
Will this lower my electric bill?
It may, but no one can honestly promise that. Results depend on your home, how you use energy, future rates and the options you choose. The consultation is there to show you what may realistically help before you decide anything.
Do I have to get solar?
No. Solar is only one option. Depending on your home, a review may point to heating and cooling, battery storage, efficiency steps or no changes at all.
What is the Price to Compare, and should I switch suppliers?
The Price to Compare is your utility’s default price for the supply part of your bill, in cents per kWh. You can compare it with supplier offers on PAPowerSwitch.com, the Pennsylvania PUC’s shopping site. Ashborn does not sell electricity supply.
Are there rebates or tax credits right now?
Some utilities offer efficiency programs and rebates under Act 129, and they change over time. The federal residential clean energy and energy efficiency tax credits are not available for expenses made after December 31, 2025. Your advisor can help you check what currently applies, and we will never promise an incentive we cannot confirm.
Do I need to upload my electric bill?
No, it is optional. If you do, please share only what is needed to review your energy usage. You may cover account numbers or other details that are not needed.
