Monitoring energy prices is always a good idea, with the lowest rates typically available during spring and fall. If you signed up for a plan with a high rate, you may want to regularly explore lower rates to find monthly savings. A good rule of thumb is to start comparing rates about 30 days before your contract is set to end.
Your final monthly bill is calculated by multiplying the price per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of your plan by how much energy or kWhs you consumed that month. Some additional fees, like distribution charges, will also be included. The estimated monthly cost is based on the average rate and average usage.
An energy charge is the price per kWh that you pay for the energy you consume. A TDU delivery charge, also known as a transmission and distribution utility charge, is the amount your utility charges to deliver the electricity to your home. You can find details on both charges by reading the EFL for your plan.
In most cases, no. Once you sign up for a new plan with your new provider, they will process the charge with your previous provider and the utility. SaveOnEnergy can help you navigate this process. In some cases, such as moving out of a deregulated area, you may need to cancel your plan with your current provider.
This depends on the terms of your current contract. If you signed a contract with a set term, you will likely need to pay a cancellation fee to get out of the contract early. However, most month-to-month contracts do not have cancellation fees. Check your Electricity Facts Label (EFL) to confirm any fees associated with your plan.
Yes, you can switch plans if you rent or live in an apartment. However, you may need to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you signed a contract for your current plan. Aside from paying a cancellation fee, you can switch plans whenever you want.
