How to find the best energy plan in Venus
#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!
Knowing the amount of energy you will use month-to-month is the best way to shop for power in Venus. Why is this important?
The “price per kWh” you see power providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).
Every plan uses a different calculation for how your monthly bill is computed, and your monthly bill will change according to how much energy you consume in a month.
Unless you use exactly the advertised amount each month, you will end up paying an effective “price per kWh” different than what you observed when you enrolled.
Thankfully, there’s a better way to select your energy provider.
Calculating your expected monthly bill based on anticipate monthly usage, then comparing rates by total monthly cost, is the best way to shop for the best rate for your household.
Better yet, if you have 12 months 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 ideal way to find the ideal energy rate plan for your home.
ComparePower does all the complicated math for you instantly. What could take you hours on a spreadsheet is now solved in just seconds.
We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of offers and assist you step-by-step to the energy rate plan that’s best for your household’s consumption.
We clarify the details, disclosing all fees and charges, so you’ll know precisely where your money is going and what to expect on your bill.
We then help you in signing-up with your chosen electricity company without leaving our service.
The take away here is you must know your expected or historical usage before selecting the best energy plan for your home.
If you don’t know your usage, estimate
If you are unable to acquire 12-months of historical usage, or you’re the owner of a brand new home, the next best thing is to estimate how much energy you will use in an average 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 find the best energy plan for your specific usage.
Moving to Venus: Setting up Electricity
If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Venus, 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.
By signing up for a plan through ComparePower you will receive automated reminders when it’s time to renew your existing plan or to possibly switch plans.
Switching electricity companies in Venus
Switching is good. Market conditions are always changing, so it is important to shop for a lower rate each year when your contract is close to expiring.
Your existing electricity company will typically raise your electricity rate once your contract expires. If you do not 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 energy providers.
Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars each year on your energy bill.
Switching is easy:
-
-
- You don’t have to call 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 take care of everything for you including terminating service with your previous company.
Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Venus is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.
The wires and poles that deliver electricity to your home do not change when you switch electricity companies. 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 cancellation” 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 companies up to 6o days in advance.
And even if you’re well inside your contract, savings achieved on your monthly bill by switching providers 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 cheapest price.
You will want to gather your past usage for the last 12 months to determine the best plan with the lowest rate for your household.
