Why Your Usage History Matters

Imagine buying groceries without knowing how much your family typically eats.

You’d likely overspend or end up short. The same principle applies to electricity plans.

Without understanding your usage patterns, you’re essentially shopping in the dark.

Your kWh usage history reveals:

  • Seasonal fluctuations in your energy consumption
  • Peak usage months
  • Your average monthly consumption

Without this data, you risk overpaying or facing unexpectedly high bills.

How Live Link™ Works

Live Link™ eliminates the need to collect and analyze your usage data manually.

  • Automatically retrieves your historical usage
  • Analyzes consumption patterns
  • Compares plans based on your actual usage
  • Calculates estimated bills for each plan option

Automated Usage Retrieval

Gathering your usage history traditionally meant sifting through old bills or navigating clunky utility websites.

This tedious process often deterred consumers from making informed decisions.

Enter Live Link™, a groundbreaking tool that’s revolutionizing how Texans shop for electricity.

This innovative tool automatically retrieves your historical usage data, eliminating the hassle of manual collection and ensuring pinpoint accuracy.

Effective Plan Comparison

When comparing plans with Live Link™, consider the following:

  • Total cost based on your usage, not just advertised rates
  • Plan structure (fixed-rate, variable, tiered)
  • Contract terms
  • Hidden fees

Switching Providers: Your Path to Savings

Many Texans hesitate to switch electricity providers, fearing it’s complicated or won’t yield significant savings.

However, switching can often lead to substantial cost reductions—if done right.

This is where Live Link™ shines. It’s explicitly designed for Texans looking to switch providers and save money. Here’s how:

  • Precise Comparisons: Live Link™ uses your actual usage data to calculate potential savings with different providers, ensuring accuracy.
  • Timing is Everything: It alerts you when your contract is nearing expiration—the perfect time to switch without incurring fees.
  • Eliminates Guesswork: No more estimating your usage or falling for misleading advertised rates. Live Link™ shows you precisely what you’d pay based on your consumption patterns.
  • Reveals Hidden Savings: It might uncover that a plan with a higher per-kWh rate saves you money due to your specific usage pattern.
  • Streamlines the Process: Once you’ve chosen a new plan, Live Link™ simplifies the switching process, making it nearly effortless.

Remember, the Texas electricity market is dynamic. A plan that was best for you last year might not be the most economical choice now. You could save hundreds annually by leveraging Live Link™ to switch providers strategically.
