We understand the critical role electric and gas utility services play in your daily life, and we are committed to helping you get through these difficult and unpredictable times. You will continue to see us in the community responding to service calls, working on critical infrastructure projects and maintaining our facilities. We are practicing preventative safety measures as advised by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state and local authorities.
We also recognize that many of you may face financial hardships during these extraordinary times, and we want to help.
If you have an upcoming Ameren appointment that requires access inside your home or business, and you are sick or beginning to show symptoms of illness or are on an ordered or self-imposed quarantine for COVID-19, we ask that you please reschedule.

If you have an appointment, we can conduct the entire appointment and perform safety checks outside at your meter. But some services may require us to come inside. If we need to do that, we will avoid close contact with those inside and take other safety measures. If anyone is sick, shows symptoms of or has tested positive for COVID-19, we ask that you reschedule your appointment or, in the case of a gas leak or other immediate need, let us know so we can take precautionary measures.
If you ever smell natural gas (a rotten egg-like smell), leave and call us from a safe location. On your way out, do not use or touch any light switches, cell phones, telephones, appliances, garage door openers or any device that could generate a spark or a flame.
