Moving into a York row house near Central Market or a newer place off Route 30? Here's the checklist to get every utility on before your first night.
In the city of York, Met-Ed is the electric utility at every address we sampled. It maintains the poles and wires, restores power after outages, and reads your meter. Pennsylvania is a choice state, so you can also choose a competing supplier through PA Power Switch to provide the electricity Met-Ed delivers. If you never shop, Met-Ed supplies you by default. Either way, you report outages to Met-Ed.
Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania is the gas utility at every York address we sampled. It maintains the mains and service lines, handles leaks, and delivers the gas no matter who you buy it from. Because Pennsylvania offers gas choice, you can shop competing suppliers through PA Gas Switch, or take Columbia Gas's default supply if you'd rather not. For a gas smell or emergency, you always call Columbia Gas.
At every York address we sampled, York Water Company provides both drinking water and sewer service. Unlike electricity and natural gas, water and sewer aren't open to supplier shopping in Pennsylvania. There's no PA switch site for them, so you don't pick a competing provider. To start, stop, or transfer service, you contact York Water Company directly. Run your address through the lookup first to confirm it's them at your specific street.
FirstEnergy Met is York's electric answer. It led 82% of the York addresses we checked.
The fastest path: look up the address, then open accounts in the checklist order. Electric first when timing is tight.
