Once you have an apartment, it can take a few days to get your utilities. Consolidated Edison ("Con Ed"), the electric company for New York City, and PSE&G, the electric company for New Jersey, tend to make appointments over a span of several hours, for example, between 12:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. You will need to be very flexible and realize this is a one-time inconvenience. If you need to establish service or have any questions concerning your electric or gas bills, call their toll-free customer service hotline at 1-800-752-6633(1-800-CON-ED), or e-mail at customerservice@coned.com . Further information about Con Ed can be found at www.coned.com. If you live in New Jersey, contact PSE&G at their customer service hotline 1-800-436-7734, e-mail at psegcommunity@pseg.com, or visit their website at www.pseg.com.
