Why 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 companies 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.

Let me present you with a common scenario that we see all the time:

2 energy companies (Company A & Company B) both charge 10¢ per Kilowatt Hour (kWh). Most people would look at it and think that the prices are identical, therefore their monthly bill would be identical too. Wrong!

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.

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…

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

Estimating your final bill is impossible without taking all of these charges and credits into consideration.

That’s where SlashPlan is here for you!

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.

For you to know you’re making the best decision, you need to have all the details in front of your eyes. Including all fees, discounts, and plan terms.

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

With our comparison service, you can finally sort and filter plans to match your specific criteria. The best options will show on top of the list by default.

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 back! We level the playing field and make shopping for cheap energy rates accessible and easy for everybody!

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.

How To Find A Reliable Power Company in Richardson?

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).

Sounds odd, 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.

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.

For any issues with blackouts, power outages, or the electric meter, you will need to contact the utility company directly.

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 power 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 only offer green plans, others include no-deposit plans, etc…

If prices are the same, then the main differences that you should pay attention to are the provider’s customer service, early cancellation policy, and ease of communication.

When you choose an electric plan through SlashPlan you can rest assured that you will be signing up with a quality energy provider. We vet the providers that we work with and only display companies that have a strong proven track record and a high customer satisfaction score.

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 – Some people prefer a long-term peace of mind that comes with a Fixed Rate plan. Others prefer a more dynamic, sometimes lower rate that changes monthly according to the Electricity Price Index.

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 Power 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.

Our comparison tool will instantly tell which plan currently offers the cheapest price, based on your usage and the filters you select.

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 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 of the enrollment data.

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 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 – Each service address in Texas has a unique meter number, also known as an ESID. When you enroll online we will find your ESID number based on your address. If you enroll over the phone, you can also find this number in your previous electric bill.
