How to choose the best Reliant Energy plan for you

Picking the wrong Reliant 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 complex, 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.
