    Why Use SlashPlan To Compare Electricity Rates in Friendswood?

    Who you should compare electricity rates

    Many consumers don’t know that the power to choose energy is in their own hands. We can’t blame them though, many new residents are moving to Texas from regulated energy markets.

    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”.

    Without using an energy comparison service like SlashPlan you may not be aware of all discounts you can take advantage of, or the hidden fees that will mysteriously show up on your bill.

    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!

    A standard practice in the energy industry is to offer Tiered Pricing. So you will only pay the advertised rate if your monthly usage falls under that specific tier. If we look back at our case, here’s what we mean:

    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 truth is, you can’t determine that without looking at a few other parameters… Your bill price will be determined by various parameters such as monthly usage, base charges, usage credits, discounts, time of usage, and more… 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

    Our comparison page will show you plans from different electric companies in a standardized way that is easy to compare and understand. We include all the fees and discounts, so you can compare apples-to-apples.

    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.

    The rates we display on SlashPlan are the rates you’ll actually experience on your bill, inclusive of all hidden fees. We make sure that you’re not misled by the cheaper rates often advertised by electric providers… those advertised rates are associated with higher usage levels that many households never enjoy because their usage level never reaches that pricing tier.

    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.

    How To Find A Reliable Electricity Company in Friendswood?

    Most consumers are not aware that in Deregulated Energy markets, the energy companies that sell you power are not in charge of servicing and maintaining your electricity infrastructure. That job is done by a utility company (also known as TDSP).

    That’s confusing, right?

    In order for energy prices to stay low and competitive, law-makers in Texas decided to eliminate monopolies by not allowing the TDSP’s to sell energy directly to the end-users.

    That’s how the market operates. The energy companies sell you electricity at competitive prices, and the utility companies deliver that energy to your home or business.

    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.

    What does this mean for us, the retail consumers?

    This means that the energy 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 providers?

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

    Some companies 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 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 reputable energy supplier that has a proven track record of competitive prices and outstanding customer support.

    Not Sure Which Energy Plan Will Work For You?

    Deciding on a new plan? Here are the top things to consider:

    Monthly Usage – This will directly affect your effective price. To find the best possible price, it’s best if you have your previous 12-month usage history. You can then input that data into our calculator to find out exactly how much you will pay for the new plan.

    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!

    Green Energy – Helping the environment by having your Electricity Supplier purchase Renewable Energy Credits on your behalf to offset the impact of energy generation on the environment.

    To read more we have a blog with plenty of resources that explain everything you need to know about the energy market and useful cost-saving tactics and tips.

    What Information Do I Need To Provide When Signing-Up?

    It’s important to remember that SlashPlan is not your electricity provider. We created a marketplace that allows you to instantly 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!

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

    • 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.

    Business Electricity Rates in Friendswood

    Business electricity rates in Friendswood can vary widely, depending on the size of the business, the type of usage, and the length of the contract. This can make it difficult for business owners to shop for the best rates.

    There are a few reasons why it’s hard to shop for business electricity rates. First, there are many different providers to choose from, each with its own set of rates and plans. Second, the rates can change frequently, so it’s important to stay up-to-date on the latest offers. Third, the terms of the contracts can be complex, making it difficult to compare apples to apples.

    Despite the challenges, it’s important for businesses to find the best electricity rates possible. This is because energy costs can account for a significant portion of a business’s operating expenses. Even a small difference in rates can save a business a significant amount of money over the course of a year.

    There are a few things that business owners can do to find the best rate.

    Get quotes from multiple providers. Compare rates and plans carefully. Read the terms of the contract carefully. Shop for a fixed-rate plan, and consider signing a longer-term contract.
