Factors to consider when choosing an electricity plan
Monthly household usage:
Your energy rate will depend on the usage tier you fall into. You can check previous energy bills to estimate your home’s typical usage and shop for a cheap Denton electricity rate based on how much power you anticipate using per month.
Fixed-rate vs. variable-rate:
The most common plan types are fixed-rate and variable-rate energy plans. Fixed-rate options typically work best for most customers because they offer a secured energy price during a contract period. Variable-rate plans don’t require a contract, but the rate you pay each month changes based on the wholesale cost of electricity.
Contract length:
Most fixed-rate contracts last between one and three years. Consider how long you’d like to keep your energy plan before enrolling to avoid paying early termination fees (ETFs). Variable-rate plans are month-to-month, allowing you the flexibility to cancel or switch at any time with no penalty.
Same-day energy:
Most energy companies offer same-day connection, but require you to enroll by a certain time each day to qualify. Call the number on your screen to connect with an energy expert and discuss your same-day energy options.
Electricity Facts Label (EFL):
Every plan includes an EFL, which contains important details like your energy rate, contract length, and any additional fees or plan features. Be sure to thoroughly review a plan’s EFL before signing up to make sure it works for you.
