How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Palmer

#1 rule: Usage is key!

Discovering how much energy you will consume monthly is the best way to shop for power in Palmer. Why is this important?

The rate you see energy providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 1000 kWh).

Every plan has a different equation for how your monthly statement is computed, and your monthly bill will change according to how much electricity you use in a month.

Unless you use exactly the advertised amount each month, you will end up paying an effective “price per kWh” different than the one you saw advertised when you enrolled.

Fortunately, there’s a better way to choose your energy company.

Calculating your total monthly bill based on expected monthly usage, then comparing options by total monthly cost is the best way to shop for the lowest rate for you.

Better still, if you have a year of usage history for your household, you can compare plans by total annual cost. This annualized method considers the changes in usage between the summer and winter months and is the ideal way to determine the perfect energy rate plan for your home.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you instantly. What could take hours on a spreadsheet is solved in a few seconds.

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of offers and assisting you step-by-step with the energy rate plan that’s best for your home’s usage.

We clarify the details, disclosing the various charges, so you’ll know exactly where your money is going and what to anticipate on your monthly bill.

We then assist you in enrolling with your selected energy company without ever having to leave our service.

The bottom line is you must determine your expected or historical usage before ordering the right electricity plan for your home.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

If you cannot acquire 12 months of historical usage or own a brand new home, the next best thing is to estimate how much energy you will use in an average month.

Although knowing the previous 12 months of usage is optimum, it is far better to estimate the average energy consumption than to select the first electricity provider that you see advertised. After all, you have no idea how much energy you will use at that point.

Use Compare Power to shop for the best energy plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Palmer: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Palmer, to get the best rate, you need to get the previous 12 months of energy usage for your new home.

Ask the previous homeowner to provide you with their past 12 months of usage.

This information is readily found in recent billing statements.

Acquiring usage for the past 12 months may take effort, but the time (and savings) will be well worth it.

Once you have historical usage, Compare Power will do the math instantly to help you find the best plan for your home’s usage pattern.

Note: You can estimate your monthly usage if you can’t obtain a usage history. Utilize our “Help Me Choose” tool when you enter your zip code below, and we’ll help you evaluate your home’s usage.

By signing up for a plan through Compare Power you will receive automated reminders when it’s time to renew your existing plan or switch plans.

Switching Electricity Companies in Palmer

Switching is good. Market conditions are always changing, so it is essential to shop for a lower rate each year when your contract is about to expire.

Your existing electricity company will normally raise your electricity rate once your term expires. If you do not act, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate significantly higher than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, check the rates of competing energy providers.

Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars yearly on your energy bill.

Switching is easy:

• You don’t have to contact your current provider to cancel (no “break-up call”)
• No one comes to your home
• There is no disruption in your power supply
• It takes just minutes

When you switch, your new electricity company will take care of everything for you, including terminating service with your previous company.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Palmer is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.

The wires and poles that deliver electricity to your home do not change when you switch electricity providers. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can pick any date up to 14 days early from your current contract’s end date without an “early termination” penalty. That’s Texas Law.

If you’re still under contract, find out how many months remain on your contract. You can set a future start date with most companies up to 6o days in advance.

The amount saved each month by switching to a different electricity company may outweigh the one-time fee to get out of your contract early.

If you’re ready to switch and would like to know how to find the best plan remember that understanding your usage is the best way to find the lowest price.

You will want to gather your past usage for the last 12 months to determine the best plan with the lowest rate for your household.
