52 Pa. Code § 56.287
Once an applicant's application for service is accepted by the public utility, the public utility shall make a bona fide attempt to provide service within 3 business days, provided that the applicant has met all regulatory requirements. A longer time frame is permissible with the consent of the applicant. If the investigation and determination of credit status is expected to take or in fact takes longer than 3 business days commencing the date after the application is made, the public utility shall provide service pending completion of the investigation. If the public utility cannot provide service by the time frames specified in this section, the public utility shall inform the customer of this fact and provide a reasonable estimate of when service will be provided. These requirements do not apply to new service installations and service extensions that require construction of facilities to provide the public utility service.
