How does a fixed-rate plan work? With a fixed-rate plan, your rate will remain the same for the time specified in your service contract. Having a fixed rate makes it easier to budget since you know what your price is monthly.
What is a variable-rate plan? A variable-rate plan means your rate can change during your term. Energy rates are subject to change at any time due to market conditions, seasonal variations, load demand, and other factors. It is ideal to see what the average rates are for different parts of the year first before subscribing to a variable rate plan.
What happens if I move? When you move, our buying guide can answer all the questions you have on choosing a new provider. What’s more, we provide in-depth resources on alternative energy plans like no-deposit or prepaid plan options.
Why does Choose Energy run a credit check? Some of our suppliers request a credit check as part of signing up for service with them. If you do not feel comfortable having a credit check run, you could sign up for a no-deposit plan.
When signing up for a plan, make sure to read the plan’s documentation, which includes pertinent information such as:
Enjoy a hassle-free supplier setup. Once your order completes, your new supplier will set up service – but don’t worry, there shouldn’t be any interruption to your power during the switch.
Understanding your electricity bill. Your local utility will still deliver your electricity and maintain electric infrastructures like meters and power lines. Your utility fees will be listed as transmission and/or delivery charges on your monthly bill. They are independent of your supplier rate.
