How to find the best energy plan in Wells
#1 rule: Know Your Usage!
Discovering the amount of electricity you will use month-to-month is the ideal way to shop for power in Wells. Why is this so vital?
The “price per kWh” you see energy providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).
Every plan has a different calculation for how your monthly bill is computed, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much energy you use in each month.
Unless you match the exact advertised usage each month, you will end up paying an effective “price per kWh” different than the one you saw advertised when you ordered.
Fortunately, there’s a better way to pick your power company.
Calculating your total monthly bill based on expected monthly usage, then comparing plans by total monthly bill, is the best way to shop for the best rate for you.
Even better, if you have 12 months of usage history for your household, 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 plan for your home.
ComparePower does all this math for you instantly. What takes hours inside a spreadsheet is now solved in just seconds.
We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of offers and navigate you step-by-step to the electricity plan that’s best for your home’s consumption.
We clarify the details, disclosing the various charges and fees, so you’ll know precisely where your money is going and what to anticipate on your monthly bill.
We then assist you in enrolling with your chosen power provider without leaving our service.
The take away here is you must know your expected or historical usage before ordering 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.
While not as optimal as having all previous 12-months of usage, estimating your average usage is better than blindly picking the first plan you see advertised by an electricity provider at a specific usage that isn’t what you’ll consume.
Use ComparePower to find the best energy plan for your specific usage.
Moving to Wells: Setting up Electricity
If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Wells, 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 Wells
Switching is good. Market conditions are always changing, so it is essential to shop for a lower rate each year when your contract is about to expire.
Your existing electricity provider will typically raise your electricity rate once your term 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 provider 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 company will take care of everything for you including terminating service with your previous company.
There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Wells 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 pick any date within 14 days of your contract expiration date without an “early cancellation” penalty. That’s Texas Law.
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.
The amount saved each month by switching to a different electricity company may outweigh the one-time fee to get out of your contract early.
If you are unsure email us your latest energy bill and one of our team members will get back to you promptly with 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 best price.
You will want to gather your past usage for the past 12 months to determine the best plan with the lowest rate for your household.
