How to Find the Best Energy Plan in San Juan

#1 rule: Usage is key!

Determining how much energy you will use in a month is the ideal way to shop for electricity in San Juan. Why should you care?

The “price per kWh” you see power companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (typically 2000 kWh).

Every plan has a different calculation for how your monthly bill is calculated, and your monthly bill will change according to how much energy you use each month.

Unless you match the exact advertised usage each month, you will pay a “price per kWh” different than the one you saw advertised when you signed up.

Thankfully, there’s a better way to pick your energy company.

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

Even better, if you have 12 months of usage history for your home, 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 find the perfect energy plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you in an instant. What could take you hours on a spreadsheet is now solved in moments.

We put you in the driver’s seat, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of offers and assist you step-by-step with the energy plan that’s best for your home’s consumption.

We clarify the details, disclosing all fees, so you’ll know precisely where your money is going and what to expect on your monthly bill.

We then assist you in enrolling with your chosen energy provider without ever having to leave our website.

The takeaway here is you should determine your expected or historical usage before picking the best electricity plan for your home.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

Suppose you recently purchased a home or business or cannot obtain 12 months usage history. In that case, you can always estimate your average monthly energy usage.

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 find the best electricity plan for your specific usage.

Moving to San Juan: Setting up Electricity

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

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: If you cannot obtain historical usage information, a second option would be to estimate your future usage using our “Help Me Choose” tool. By simply entering your zip code, the tool will be able to assess your home’s projected electricity consumption.

Sign-up for a plan instantly through Compare Power. We will remind you when it’s time to come back to switch and save at the end of the plan length you decide on.

Switching Electricity Companies in San Juan

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly in flux, so shopping for a lower rate each year when your contract expires is essential.

Your existing energy company will typically raise your energy rate once your term expires. If you do not take action, 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 companies.

Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars yearly on your electricity 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 decide to switch, your new energy company will take care of everything for you, including canceling service with your previous company.

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

The wires and poles that deliver power 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 before your contract’s end date without an “early termination” fee. Texas law protects you here.

If you’re still under contract, check how many months remain on your contract. You can set a future start date with most providers 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 truly cheapest rate.

Keep in mind that when you get ready to switch and you want to know the most efficient way to find the right plan at the best rate, it is essential that you first understand your usage. To accomplish that, you must collect the usage history for the past 12 months.
