    Why Use SlashPlan To Compare Electricity Rates in Orchard?

    Who you should compare electricity rates

    We tend to get used to the “status quo”. We are busy and have other important things to do during our day. Most people simply think of their energy plan as a “set and forget” plan, which is a dangerous thing to do!

    Electricity suppliers are there to make a profit, and they will use different methods to charge you more. They use difficult-to-understand pricing tiers and terminology that is now known to the average consumer.

    It’s extremely difficult and time-consuming to find the absolute best price without using a sophisticated comparison service like SlashPlan has to offer.

    Still not sure why? Let me show you a common scenario:

    2 energy companies (Company A & Company B) both charge 10¢ per Kilowatt Hour (kWh). You might think that since both companies offer the same price, your bill would be the same. But it wouldn’t!

    A standard practice in the energy industry is to offer Tiered Pricing. This means that you will only pay the advertised rate if your monthly usage is within the specified tier. Going back to our scenario, it would look something like this:

    Company A offers the advertised rate when your monthly usage is ABOVE 2000 kWh.

    Company B offers this price when your monthly usage is UNDER 1000 kWh.

    So if we go back now and ask the same question. Which company offers a better rate? The answer to that is — it depends! It depends on your monthly usage, and multiple other factors, such as monthly base charges, usage credits, discounts, time of usage, etc… Calculating your final monthly bill would not be possible without taking all of the above parameters into account.

    That’s where SlashPlan comes in to help!

    SlashPlan takes the guesswork out of finding the cheapest energy plan

    We display all-inclusive pricing from different providers in a standard, easy-to-read platform.

    The final price is really what matters. To make sure you’re really getting a good deal, you need to be able to see the final monthly estimated price, including all fees and credits.

    We’ve put all this information at your figure tips.

    On our comparison page, you can sort, filter, and shop by price at YOUR specific usage level.

    To make sure you are not misled by the energy companies, we display all-inclusive prices on our platform. We include all the credits and discounts you will be getting based on your exact usage. Oftentimes, the rates that are advertised online are associated with the highest usage levels, which are usually the lowest. Don’t let these rates fool you. Most households do not reach the usage levels that are needed in order to qualify for these low rates.

    SlashPlan has your best interest in our heart, and when shopping for energy, we are loyal to you. We act on your behalf to level the playing field and let the electric providers fight and compete to earn your business.

    We supply you with all the info that you need in order to make the best purchasing decision. We only show rates from well-respected and reputable energy companies that you can rely on.

    Even if you aren’t moving, you can save hundreds of dollars a year by switching providers. If you’re not locked into a contract with your energy provider you are likely overpaying.

    Average Household Electricity Rates in Orchard, Texas

    Homeowners in Texas have been paying an average price of 11.1¢ kWh (Kilowatt/Hour) for their electricity between 2001-2020. Since Retail Electric Prices are constantly fluctuating, it’s difficult to tell if the plan you’re currently enrolled in is offering you a good deal. The rates that you manually worked hard to compile may not be relevant by the time you sign-up. The energy company that gave you the best deal last year may no longer offer the best prices.

    Stop wasting time and overpaying for electricity

    With SlashPlan you can compare and instantly get up-to-date unbiased energy rates, pre-sorted with the lowest prices showing first.

    How To Find A Reliable Energy Company in Orchard?

    You may not be aware but in a deregulated energy state like Texas, the energy company that is selling you the electricity is NOT in charge of maintaining the power infrastructure or handling outages. Instead, a different utility company, known as a “TDSP” is in charge of doing that.

    Sounds odd, right?

    To make sure that the energy market is competitive, law-makers decided that these TDSP’s will not be allowed to sell energy directly to the consumer.

    The utility companies are, however, in charge of delivering the electricity to your home, and maintaining the power lines and the energy infrastructure.

    Any issues related to power outages, blackouts, or the electric meter will need to be addressed by the utility company, and not your provider.

    There are 5 main utility companies in Texas. Determine which utility company services your area.

    Why should I care about this anyway?

    This means that the electricity that you receive to your home or business is literally all the same. Regardless of which company sells it to you. There is only 1 utility company that services your address, and they are the only company that delivers electricity to you.

    So what are the differences between all the other energy providers?

    They all have different structured plans and prices.

    Some providers focus on Green Energy, while other focus on offering No-Deposit, or Short Term Variable plans.

    Therefore, if you are comparing plans from different providers, as long as their prices are the same, you should focus more on the supplier’s customer service and early termination policy.

    When you sign up for a new plan using SlashPlan, you can be confident that you’re getting a great deal, and will sign up with a well-known energy supplier that has a proven track record of competitive prices and superb customer support.

    What Do I Need In Order To Sign Up?

    It’s important to remember that SlashPlan is not your electricity provider. We created a platform that allows you to easily compare and sign-up (or switch) your electricity plan.

    When you sign up for a new plan, your new provider requires us to send them some information about you to initiate the enrollment.

    We do not store sensitive information on our servers and make sure to protect your private data. We will never sell or share it with anyone!

    Although most people prefer a streamlined online enrollment, if you feel uncomfortable submitting your information online you can also enroll over the phone.

    This typically is the information an electric provider will require you to provide:

    • Full Name
    • Service Address
    • Billing Address
    • Social Security Number or Driver’s License Number (to determine if a deposit is required)
    • Requested service start date
    • Meter Number – The number printed on your Electric Meter. It can also be found on your recent electricity bill.
