Factors to consider when choosing an electricity plan
When you compare electric companies in Big Spring to choose a new plan, you’ll have several types of plans to choose from. Here are some of the most popular:
Fixed vs. variable rates:
With fixed-rate plans, your electricity rate is locked in for the duration of your contract. With variable-rate plans, your rate will vary each month depending on the current wholesale electricity rate. To avoid paying a deposit when you sign up for your electricity plan, some companies offer no-deposit electricity plans. A prepaid energy plan is a popular no-deposit option that lets you skip a credit check and pay for your electricity upfront.
Plan length:
Consider how long of a contract you’re comfortable having — often 12, 24, or 36 months — as most fixed-rate plans come with early termination fees (ETFs) to keep in mind if you need to cancel early.
Same-day energy deadlines:
While most electric providers offer same-day connections, you may need to coordinate it correctly to have your power up and running that day. Give us a call to help ensure you get same-day energy services without a hiccup.
Renewable energy options:
All Texas energy plans use some amount of green energy, including wind energy and solar energy. As a result, it’s easy to find green energy electricity plans that help offset your carbon footprint. Some providers even offer 100% renewable plans, such as Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy.
Electricity Facts Label (EFL):
Every plan includes an EFL, a document that outlines its terms, conditions, fees, ETFs, and other potential costs.
Your usage needs:
It’s important to estimate your monthly electricity usage to determine which energy tier your home or business falls into.
