How does switching services work?1. Enter your ZIP code and compare the plans available in your area. Once you find the one you want, click the “sign up” button and follow the prompts to enroll. 2.

What happens when the plan I sign up for ends?You will receive a notice from us 60 days or more that it's time to renew your electricity contract. Additionally, you will also receive a notice from your supplier at least 30 days before your contract expires, alerting you that it’s time to renew your contract or shop for a new one. If you do nothing, you will likely be moved to a plan your provider picks for you, which may not the best available deal.

Are there any ‘hidden fees’ when signing up with a new supplier?Rates shown in our marketplace are all-inclusive, meaning they take into account any fees you will have to pay. If you need to pay a deposit, we'll tell you that upfront too. To find out if your current service has fees for switching providers, you should look in the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) and Terms and Conditions (T&C) documents that came with your plan.

Will I have to pay a deposit or get a credit check?Depending on your credit score, a deposit may also be required to begin service.

Why do your rates look different from the ones on my bill?The rates on our site are written in a simple decimal system to make them easier to understand. So, for example, a plan with a rate of $0.083 per kilowatt hour would show up as 8.30 cents per kilowatt hour on our site.
