Last reviewed: 7/31/2026
By Illinois Commercial Energy editorial team · Reviewed by JakenEnergy commercial energy team
Arlington Heights is one of the larger northwest-suburban business communities, with a busy downtown, a strong retail and dining scene, office space, and significant ongoing redevelopment. For those commercial accounts, procuring electricity and natural gas well starts with the utilities and the bill.
Utilities in Arlington Heights
- Electricity: ComEd is the delivery utility, with commercial supplier choice available. See the ComEd commercial guide.
- Natural gas: Nicor Gas is the delivery utility, with commercial supplier choice through Choices for You. See the Nicor Gas commercial guide.
Confirm both utilities from a recent bill. The utility continues delivery and emergency service when a business chooses a supplier.
What shapes energy costs here
- Downtown retail and restaurants — restaurants in particular carry both electricity and significant natural gas load.
- Office accounts benefit from clean supply comparison and a bill review.
- Larger single meters (office buildings, big-box retail) may be demand-billed, making demand charges relevant.
Getting started
Provide a recent electric and (where applicable) gas bill for an Arlington Heights business, and the account can be reviewed and priced on matched terms through the procurement process. No savings figure is promised in advance.
