How to find the best energy plan in Alvord
#1 rule: Usage is king!
Knowing how much electricity you will use month-to-month is the best way to find a deal on energy in Alvord. Why is this important?
The “price per kWh” you see energy companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (typically 1000 kWh).
Every plan uses a different equation for how your monthly statement is computed, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much energy you use in the month.
Unless you match the exact advertised usage each month, you will end up paying an effective “price per kWh” different than what you observed when you signed up.
Thankfully, there’s a better way to choose your electricity plan.
Calculating your expected monthly bill based on estimated monthly usage, then comparing rates by total monthly cost, is the best way to shop for the best rate for your home.
Even better, if you have an entire year of usage history for your home, you can compare plans by total annual cost. This annualized method takes into account the changes in usage between summer and winter months and is the absolute best way to find the right energy rate plan for your home.
ComparePower does all this math for you in an instant. What takes hours inside a spreadsheet is now done in a few moments.
We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of plans and assist you step-by-step to the energy plan that’s best for your household’s usage.
We clarify the fine print, disclosing the various charges and fees, so you’ll know precisely where your money is going and what to expect on your monthly bill.
We then help you in enrolling with your selected energy company without leaving our service.
The bottom line is you must determine your expected or historical usage before choosing the right electricity plan for your home.
If you don’t know your usage, estimate
If you recently purchased a home or business, or you cannot obtain 12-months of usage history, you can always estimate the average amount of energy that you will use in any given month.
Although knowing the previous 12-months of usage is optimum, it is far better to estimate the average energy consumption than to select the first electricity provider that you see advertised. After all, you have no idea how much energy you will use at that point.
Use ComparePower to shop for the best electricity plan for your specific usage.
Moving to Alvord: Setting up Electricity
If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Alvord, to get the best rate you need to get the previous 12-months of energy usage for your new home.
Ask the previous home-owner to provide you with their past 12-months of usage.
This information is readily found in recent billing statements.
It may take some effort to acquire usage for the past 12-months, but the time (and savings) will be well worth it.
Once you have historical usage, ComparePower will do the math instantly to help you find the best plan for your home’s usage pattern.
Note: If you are unable to obtain historical usage information, a second option would be to estimate your future usage via utilizing our “Help Me Choose” tool. By simply entering your zip code the tool will be able to assess your home’s projected electricity consumption.
Sign-up for a plan instantly through ComparePower. We will remind you when its time to come back to switch and save at the end of the plan length you decide on.
Switching electricity companies in Alvord
Switching is good. Market conditions are always in flux, so it is important to shop for a lower price every year when your contract is close to expiring.
Your existing energy provider will normally raise your electricity rate once your term expires. If you fail to take action, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate that is significantly more than the plan you signed up.
Before renewing your contract make sure to check the rates of competing electricity companies.
Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars each year on your electricity bill.
Switching is easy:
- You don’t have to contact your current company to cancel (no “break-up call”)
- No one comes to your home
- There is no disruption in your power supply
- It takes just minutes
When you make the switch, your new energy provider will handle everything for you including terminating service with your previous provider.
There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Alvord is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.
The wires and poles that deliver power to your home do not change when you switch electricity companies. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.
You can choose any date within 14 days of your contract expiration date without an “early termination” fee. That’s Texas Law.
If you’re still under contract, check how many months remain on your contract. You can set a future start date with most companies up to 6o days in advance.
And even if you’re well inside your contract, savings achieved on your monthly bill by switching companies may outweigh the fee to break your existing contract.
For help with this, you can send us your latest energy bill via email, and one of our professional team members will contact you shortly to discuss your best options.
If you’re ready to switch and would like to know how to find the best plan remember that understanding your usage is the best way to find the truly lowest rate.
You will want to find your past usage for the last 12 months to determine the best plan with the lowest rate for your household.
