ComEd will begin upgrading meters in homes across Lake County with a smart meter. Over 300,000 smart meters will be installed starting this year and continuing through 2018. This smart meter can give homeowners access to more information on the home’s electricity use and help homeowners make changes to help save money on energy bills. Homeowners will not need to be home if the meter can be accessed. One week prior to scheduled installation, ComEd will contact homeowners by phone to notify you when the home is scheduled for installation.
