Ask Your Energy Provider

February 10th 2012 Posted to Uncategorized

From the local energy company to TXU there are a lot of Texas energy options to consider. When your market’s unregulated you’ve got a lot of choice – sometimes that can be overwhelming – here are a few things to find out before you sign with an energy provider:
Cost per Therm: Energy is measured in therms and the market widely fluctuates which is reflected in this cost. If you know what the current cost is you can angle for a controlled plan or even lock in that rate if you like it for up to 5 years at a time.
Environmental Policies: With so many Texans involved in the energy trade it’s important we all stay responsible. Ask a considered provider about their thoughts on environmental protection and find out what kinds of resources they dedicate to the cause.
Fees: Many providers don’t charge much upfront but eventually nickel and dime you. From installation fees to meter-reading fees check to see what’s going to be on your bill before you receive the first one so you won’t be caught by surprise.
