TrustPlan ^® vetted fixed-rate plans and trusted brands

Because our goal is for you to never worry about electricity rates and billing surprises again, the providers we select for our site offer competitive rates, proven high-quality service and transparent pricing. And we specialize in locked, fixed rates that help you to avoid the outrageous bills that can occur with some floating variable rates during peak demand periods (such as sweltering summer days or winter freezes).

Choosing a multi-year plan allows you to lock in a rate at today’s prices so you don’t have to worry about rate increases for the term of your contract. This protects you against rising rates for the full term of your fixed contract. If you cancel your energy service because you are moving from your home, you will not be charged an early termination fee. See the Electricity Facts Label for each plan for more information.

You bet!  The operators for each provider are ready to help you by phone at the numbers listed on each plan above. Be sure to ask for not only the plans on our site, but also other plans they may offer by phone.

Regardless of what electricity provider you choose, the same regulated transmission and distribution utility (TDU) corrects outages and maintains power lines in your area.  Providers do not correct outages and have no impact on when your lights are turned on.

An Electricity Facts Label (EFL) is a government-mandated sheet that allows consumers to make apples-to-apples comparisons of energy plans. You’ll find it in the Plan Details and Sign Up sections on our site, as well as next to energy plans on all provider sites.

The average prices shown in an EFL are based on assumed monthly home usage levels of 500, 1,000 or 2,000 kWh. Provider plans are often designed to benefit homes that fall within a certain range of usage, so it’s important to select the correct plan for your home by reviewing the EFL. Selection of the correct plan based on your home’s energy usage will help you avoid bill surprises.

Since 2011, we’ve studied the pricing structures of energy plans and developed a special system to help us weed out plans that we believe won’t meet your expectations. We call it TrustPlan™. It starts with looking under the hood of each electricity plan and examining its state-mandated Electricity Facts Label (EFL).

If we determine a plan includes a gimmick that is likely to cause a billing surprise, we don’t show it on our site. Also, we specialize in fixed-rate plans which help you avoid the types of outrageous bills that result from some floating rate plans.

We strongly recommend that you review the EFL of plans you are considering in order to confirm they are a good fit for your home, based on your average monthly electricity usage. Selecting the correct plan is critical in preventing surprises. See our EFL guide above the FAQs on our home page.

You can use our plan filter to select plans that provide more predictable bills. And you’ll find that some electric companies offer guarantees that allow you to switch plans within a specified time period if you are unhappy with the plan you enrolled in.

Home Energy Club provides you with free membership forever. When you enroll in a plan, we receive a small fee from the provider so that we can offer you our valuable comparison service with no member fees. Also, to maintain our objectivity in displaying energy plans, we don’t sell preferred treatment to providers on our home page.
