Confirm New Address Within PSEG Territory
Use the PSEG service map or customer service to verify that the new location is covered by the same electrical delivery infrastructure.

Document Submission and Office Visits

FAQ
Reader questions
How long does it take for my bill and outage alerts to reflect the new address after a change?
Updates typically post within one business day, though billing cycles may cause a slight delay in the first invoice reflecting the new address.
Can I change my address online if I move to a different state outside the PSEG service area?
No, if the new location is outside the PSEG utility territory you will need to arrange final billing and disconnection through PSEG and initiate service with the new local provider.
What should I do if I moved in recently but my address is still showing as the old one on the PSEG app?
Log out and back into the app, verify the updated profile, and if the issue persists, contact PSEG support with your account number to correct the system record.
Will changing my address affect the electric service at my new home?
Updating your address does not interrupt service, but if the move involves a new meter or reconnection, schedule any needed appointments separately through PSEG to ensure uninterrupted power.
