Stop Service (Move Out)

Move-out date
Your move-out date is the date you wish to have your electric service turned off.  The move-out date you select must be a company work date which typically excludes weekends and holidays.  Non work dates will not be selectable on the move-out calendar.  Occasionally, the company work schedule may already be full for a particular date, and also will not be selectable on the calendar.
 
Normally, your first available move-out date will be at least one working date from the current date. 
 
Exceptions include:
 
In Pennsylvania (residential only), any remaining occupants residing at the move-out service address must be given at least 10 days notice prior to the turn-off. For this reason, the first available move-out date will be 10 days from today’s date.
 
In Ohio, some landlords may have contractual arrangements that require FirstEnergy provide at least 3 days advance notice of a turn-off. In these cases, the first available move-out date will be 3 days from the date that the form is being filled completed.

Outage Help

Providing your information for outage reporting
Associating a reported outage with a customer allows us to track the job and to follow up with you more easily.

Outage problem
Choose whether the problem is with partial power or no power (see definitions below for these terms). This allows us to narrow the causes of the problem(s).

Partial Power (some lights) happen when only certain areas of the home are operational - almost as if one or more breakers are off.

No Power (no lights) is an interruption of services that is causing a complete loss of power in the home or location.
