Which free electricity plan is right for you?

Odds are you’ve seen advertisements for energy plans featuring free electricity during nights or weekends.

Free energy is great, but which free electricity plan is the right plan for you, and will you be saving money by signing up for a time-of-use plan?

The simple answer is it depends on your daily energy usage habits. If you can shift most of your energy usage to the night, then a free night plan would work well for you.

If you’re home most weekends and can organize your high-energy chores between 12:01 am Saturday and 11:59 pm Sunday, you can get the most out of your energy usage perks with free electricity plans.

Take a closer look at the free nights and weekend energy plans from each provider. Each plan varies slightly, so it is important to look at the details to ensure they fit your lifestyle. There are plenty of ways to minimize your monthly bill and save by coordinating free periods with your peak energy usage schedule.

Switching electricity companies in Texas

Switching energy providers can save. Market conditions are always changing, so it is essential to shop for a lower rate yearly when your contract expires.

Your existing energy provider will normally raise your electricity rate once your contract expires. If you don’t take action, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate significantly more than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, check the rates of competing electricity companies.

Switching can save you hundreds to 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 electricity supply
• It takes just minutes

When you decide to switch, your new electricity company will take care of everything for you, including terminating service with your previous provider.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Texas is delivered by your Transmission & Distribution Utility (TDU).

The wires and poles that deliver electricity to your home do not change when you switch energy providers. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can pick any date within 14 days of your contract expiration date without an “early termination” fee. Texas law protects you here.

If you’re still under contract, find out how many months remain on your contract. You can set a future start date with most providers 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 of breaking 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 cheapest rate.

Keep in mind that when you get ready to switch, and you want to know the most efficient way to find the right plan at the best rate, it is essential that you first understand your usage. To accomplish that, you will need to collect the usage history for the past 12 months.
