How to choose the best First Choice Power energy plan for you

Picking the wrong First Choice Power energy plan without knowing your home’s energy usage can cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars.

The #1 most important thing: Know your usage!

The key to avoid overpaying is knowing your expected usage and comparing monthly costs for each plan based on that usage amount.

With things like gasoline, the “price per gallon” you see on the sign is the price you pay no matter how many gallons you pump.

$3 per gallon. Pump 10 gallons, pay $30. Simple.

Electricity in Texas is not as simple as buying gasoline. The advertised “price per kWh” is based on a specific, exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).

And, each plan has a different calculation for how your monthly bill is determined.

Your effective “price per kWh” can only be determined by calculating your monthly bill, then dividing that monthly bill by your usage.

Advertised “price per kWh” can be misleading because it’s based on a specific usage like 2000 kWh. It’s best to shop based on the total bill for your home’s expected usage.

How do you do that when the math is complicated, and every plan is a little different?

ComparePower has already done all this complicated math for you.

First, we help you determine your expected monthly kWh usage. Then we show you the plans and their total monthly cost for your usage.

This site is AMAZING! Truly. They do the heavy lifting for you. They compare everything and show you all of the details. We used the calculator by entering our usage and received a great set of options. We selected one and then all we had to do was fill out a very short set of questions and we had a new account with a new provider in seconds. Best part is, I didn't even have to contact my old provider and cancel on them. It was all done through the new provider. This was too easy. I will say at first I was a little concerned about entering my social security number when I was setting up the account for a soft background check so that the new provider can determine if we need to do a deposit or not. This had me a little on edge but I did my research and everything was very secured. This soft background check doesn't impact your credit either. So rest assured, this is the best way to set up or switch providers. Bar none. Will be using this service again for sure and will tell all my friends about it too.

I've used the same electric provider for many years, and I simply needed to change it up. Prices were just getting too high! I utilized Compare Power to find a new rate, and it was ridiculously easy to find a great rate, and really quickly. Everything went smooth, and all I had to do was sign up and they took care of the rest. If you're in need of finding a new provider, I highly recommend Compare Power to do it!

Pretty sweet website. Made it easy to find and compare providers in my area. Even lets you calculate variable usage on bills so you really know what you're spending with your usage with the plans available. Also shows any of those potential awful hidden fees providers sneak in you don't normally get to find out about until you get your first bill. Definitely will recommend to friends & family.

I used compare power to figure out what was the best electricity plans based on my needs. The site made it super easy to view all the prices that are normally buried in the electric facts label (EFL); it saved so much time! Not only that but I got a really nice promotional rate through compare power that I otherwise wouldn’t have found if I searched the providers individually. I highly recommend if you’re looking to save money!

Came upon this website when it was time to decide on a renewal with my current power plan. They were very informative and listed plans with providers I didn't know were available. My comparisons also showed the percentage of green energy they generated which also helped me feel a bit better that I was choosing plan from a provider had all a portion of green energy production. Thank you guys.

THIS IS WHAT all websites need to be like. It took me about 5 min to find the best possible electricity power company, and So far, they are worth the trip to this website! Excellent layout and design, and easy to navigate. I would recommend this site to anybody who is like me that moved on from Colorado to Texas. If you're new to a different state, this is the site for anybody who needs power turned on asap!!!

Compare Power website was extremely easy to use and saved a lot of time searching for the right electricity company for me. Website is user friendly and allows you to enter in your usage each month to determine the best electricity company for your needs. Would recommend site to others.

Compare Power has provided a platform to seamlessly review plans, determine the pros and cons of the plan and then make a choice. I spent a total of maybe 15 minutes from start to finish and didn't get spammed by the different electric providers because I looked up a comparison.

This site is a must for anyone setting up an electricity service. It allows you to choose based on many different factors, including custom kWh amounts. I suggest playing around with the different providers and look at the spreads between what you think will be your home's average. Then look at the cost for 500, 1000, etc and find the lowest cost average for your specific situation.

Was very simple to compare pricing for electricity providers. I loved that I was able to use my actual usage (that I had records of) to compare to all the different providers. It was so easy and eye opening! Thanks Compare Power!

I typically shop electric companies once a year or every other year to have the best rate for my home. I’ve used powertochoose in the past, however compare power exceeded all expectations. It was easier to compare the actual rates and showed all the breakdowns to allow you to make a better informed decision. My home is typical 3000kw a month or more so it also allowed me to see rates based on my specific usage other that prompting me to the lowest rate that wasn’t necessarily the lowest when you add in the greater than 2000 per month added charges. Once my choice was made, switching was very easy and done within minutes and a couple clicks. I’ll definitely be back.

Danielle Hepler

I’ve never had to purchase my own electricity before. With the quick questionnaire, I was immediately taken to plans that would best suit me! Couldn’t be happier! This made it incredibly too easy!

Christopher Guardado

21:32 04 Aug 19

I highly recommend. I just typed in my zip code, selected a great price and the whole switch was done automatically. No hassle at all.

Courtney T

Compare power has literally saved me hundreds of dollars on my electric service. They’re able to find me the best company with the best rates and zero dollar deposits!! Also, you’ll be notified when your current contracts is about to expire and given the chance to either renew (which most of the time rates increase upon renewal) or find a different company with a better rate. I’ll definitely use this service for as long as it’s available.

This site is fantastic for seeing exact details of every plan available to you. Gives you several options for looking for a provider including Green Energy and Fixed Rate. It then lets you see a list of plans and shows you exactly how much it would be for the month by allowing you to input kWh which in turn helps you compare your current bill to a new potential provider. Then, when you're ready to switch you just pick a plan and input the start date for service and you're off! Extremely helpful tool!

Patrick ONeal

15:52 16 Aug 19

Very user friendly format. Was able to clearly compare packages to my current usage and pick the one that best suited my needs. Once the decision was made, the process of switching was as simple as completing the prompts. The new provider does the rest. From decision to confirmation from the new provider that the switch took maybe 45 minutes. I received confirmation from my old provider perhaps an hour later. Highly recommended!

Excellent page; Especially the compare by usage "PER Month". So if you had a similar apartment square footage, and have a history of you can TRULY compare prices; there are a set number of providers but they make it confusing on purpose. This makes it easy. Especially when 'PROMOTIONS" might not really be a deal. Likewise 24-32 month contracts are not a deal when it is illegal at the moment to charge a cancellation fee as a utility.

Mike Hawkins

21:36 18 Aug 19

Compare Power gave me a comprehensive list of rates, contracts, and names of power companies that I could use. I got a good low priced rate for 12 months and feel safe with it. The process was smooth and quick. I really enjoyed doing this. I'm so glad I made the effort. It was not hard at all.

This website was so easy to use! I enjoyed having the ability to put my personal usage into the calendar so that I could get accurate and personalized prices. It took less than 10 minutes to find a new REP and get approved. I also got the email less than 24hrs later that my switch was completed! I will definitely be recommending this site to anyone that I come across in need of a new power company!
