Embarq is now known as CenturyLink following its merger with CenturyTel, which was approved in June by the FCC.
The combined company is launching its new brand this month.
Embarq and CenturyTel customers' e-mail addresses will stay the same. Only new customers who sign up for broadband service will receive CenturyLink e-mail addresses.
There will be no changes to customers' phone numbers or local service.
Current customer service contact numbers and business hours will also remain the same.
An open house is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. today at the company's downtown Chambersburg site, 250 Lincoln Way East.
The event includes door prizes, giveaways and refreshments.
The open house is being conducted in partnership with United Way of Franklin County. CenturyLink will donate as much as $500 to United Way by gifting $1 for each person who brings a United Way logo with them when they visit during the open house.
Embarq, which broke off from Sprint in 2006, provided local and long-distance telephone, Internet and satellite TV services here and in 17 other states.
The company announced plans last year to merge with Louisiana-based CenturyTel.
The combined company operates in 33 states. CenturyTel and Embarq had a combined 7.5 million access lines, more than 2.1 million broadband customers and more than 440,000 video subscribers. According to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, Embarq served approximately 326,000 customers in Pennsylvania.
