    Why Compare Electricity Rates?

    Who you should compare electricity rates

    Most people, especially ones who move to Texas from out of state or from regulated energy markets are not aware that they have the power to choose their electric provider.

    Like any other service provider, electricity companies always try to charge you as much as they can, and they use different tactics to make it happen, all while telling you that you’re getting a “deal”.

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

    Here’s a common scenario that we see all the time:

    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!

    Most of the prices that are advertised by the energy companies are Tiered Prices.

    So you will only pay the advertised rate if your monthly usage falls under that specific 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.

    If we go back and repeat the same question. Who offers a better rate?

    The truth is, you can’t determine that without looking at a few other parameters…

    It depends on your monthly usage, and multiple other factors, such as monthly base charges, usage credits, discounts, time of usage, etc…

    Calculating how much you’re ACTUALLY going to pay is impossible without taking all these parameters into account.

    That’s exactly what we’re here to solve!

    How To Find A Reliable Energy Company in Buffalo?

    It’s important to understand that when you sign up for service, your are enrolling with a Retail Electric Provider. Your provider is not in charge of servicing and maintaining your energy infrastructure, and they are not the ones that will fix blackouts or outages. Maintenance is done by a seprate utility company, also called a “TDSP”.

    Sound counterintuitive, right?

    To keep the energy prices low and eliminate monopolies deregulated markets don’t allow utility companies (aka TDU / TDSP) to sell electricity directly to the end user.

    So the Retail Providers sell you the electricity, but the TDSP’s are the ones delivering that electricity to your home or business, and maintaining the infrastructure, such as power lines and poles.

    If you have a power outage, or have an issue with your meter, you will need to contact the utility company that services your area.

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

    Now that I understand that, how does it affect me?

    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’s the difference between all the other energy companies?

    The main difference is that they offer different plans, structures, and prices.

    Certain providers may only offer Green Energy Plans, while others may offer No-Deposit, or Short Term Month-To-Month plans.

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

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

    Top 4 Things To Consider When Signing Up

    Other than price, these are key points to consider when enrolling in a new plan:

    Your monthly usage – Having your 12-month usage history will allow you to find the best plan for your usage habits.

    Rate Type – Do you prefer a fixed-rate or a variable rate plan?

    Term Length – 12 months is a standard enrollment term. If prices are low right now, take advantage of the low rates and lock-in a fixed price for 24 months or more!

    What Do I Need In Order To Sign Up?

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

    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!

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

    This normally is the information an electric company 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.
