Con Edison's Spanish-language phone payment line
Con Edison offers a dedicated Spanish-language phone line for bill payment and account questions. You can call 1-800-752-6633 and select the Spanish option from the menu to reach a representative who speaks Spanish.
This line is available during Con Edison's standard customer service hours. When you call, have your account number ready — it appears on your bill in the upper right corner. The representative can process your payment over the phone using a debit card, credit card, or bank account.
If you prefer not to speak with a representative, Con Edison's automated phone system also accepts Spanish-language commands for bill payment. After selecting Spanish, you can follow the prompts to pay without waiting for someone to pick up.

What information you need before calling
Gather these details before you dial so the payment goes through without delay. Your account number is the most important — it is a unique identifier for your service address and appears on every bill you receive.
You will also need the payment amount. Check your bill for the total due or the minimum payment if you are paying only part of what you owe. Have the payment method ready: either a debit card, credit card, or bank account information (routing number and account number for bank transfers).
If you are calling about a past-due balance or a disconnect notice, have that document nearby. The representative can explain your options and may discuss payment arrangements if you cannot pay the full amount at once.
Payment methods accepted over the phone
Con Edison accepts three types of payment when you call the Spanish-language line. Debit cards and credit cards are processed immediately — the representative will ask for the card number, expiration date, and the three-digit security code on the back.
Bank account payments are also available. You will need to provide your routing number (the nine-digit code that identifies your bank) and your account number. This method typically takes one to two business days to process, so it is not the fastest option if your bill is due soon.
Con Edison does not accept cash or check payments over the phone. If you prefer to pay by mail, you can send a check to the address on your bill, but calling the Spanish line is faster if you need the payment recorded right away.
What happens after you pay by phone
Once the representative confirms your payment, you will receive a confirmation number. Write this down or ask the representative to repeat it — it is your proof that the payment was made and the amount that was charged.
For card payments, the charge usually appears on your statement within one to two business days. For bank account payments, allow an additional day or two. Con Edison will send you a receipt by mail to the address on file, though you can also view your payment history online through your Con Edison account.
If you do not see the payment reflected on your next bill, contact Con Edison again with your confirmation number. Mistakes are rare, but the number makes it easy to track down what happened.
Other ways to pay in Spanish
The phone line is not your only option. Con Edison's website has a Spanish-language version where you can set up an online account and pay directly without calling. Go to conedison.com and look for the language selector — usually in the top corner — to switch to Spanish.
You can also visit a Con Edison payment location in person. Many are open on weekends and accept cash, checks, and card payments. To find the location nearest you, call the Spanish line or check the Con Edison website for the current list of payment centers.
If you set up automatic payments, you will not have to call or log in each month. The Spanish-language representative can help you enroll over the phone, and the payment will be deducted on the same date each billing cycle.
If you have trouble reaching the Spanish line
If the line is busy or you cannot reach a Spanish speaker, try calling during off-peak hours — early morning or late afternoon often have shorter wait times. The automated system is usually faster than waiting for a representative.
You can also try the main Con Edison number, 1-800-752-6633, and ask the English-speaking representative to transfer you to the Spanish line or to help you with your payment directly. Some representatives can assist in both languages.
If you continue to have trouble, the Con Edison website has a contact form where you can request a callback in Spanish. This may take longer than calling, but it guarantees you will speak with someone who can help in your language.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a fee for paying by phone in Spanish?
No. Con Edison does not charge a fee for phone payments, whether you pay by card, bank account, or through the automated system. The only cost is the bill itself.
Can I set up a payment plan if I cannot pay the full amount?
Yes. Call the Spanish line and explain your situation to the representative. Con Edison offers payment arrangements for customers who are behind on their bills. The representative will discuss options based on your account history and current balance.
What if my account is in someone else's name but I am paying the bill?
You can still pay over the phone if you have the account number. The representative does not need your name to match the account holder's name to process a payment. However, if you need to make changes to the account or discuss the bill, the account holder may need to be present or authorize the conversation.
How long does it take for a phone payment to show up on my bill?
Card payments usually appear within one to two business days. Bank account payments take an additional day or two. You will receive a confirmation number immediately after paying, which proves the payment was made even if it has not yet shown on your account online.
Can I pay a past-due bill over the phone in Spanish?
Yes. Call the Spanish line with your account number and the past-due amount. The representative can process the payment and may discuss options if you owe multiple months or if a disconnect notice has been issued.
