When was the last time you checked your electric bill? I found out that I have reduced my overall usage, yet my bill is still going up. So, I decided to really monitor my energy bill and the price per kWh.
Did you know that most homes in Texas pay more in August and September than any other month of the year. This isn’t because of rate hikes necessarily, but because its HOT! We are lucky so far compared to other years since the rain has kept the temperatures lower. But knowing that historically that my August and September bills are my yearly highest, I decided to take action.
After visiting www.powertochoose.org I copied all the plans to EXCEL and highlighted those with the best price per kWh. After selecting my top three I called and asked them specifically about their plans and I feel that YEP has the best deal. The told me today that the rate is 11.5 cents a kWh and lower if you use over 1,500 kWhs. That is 1.75 cents cheaper than Dynowatt at 13.25 cents. Saving $35/month is $420 a year! Look at your history for August and September and calculate your potential savings.
Now you have to watch out since I was with Dynowatt and several months ago they had the best deal. So, if you are up to the challenge you can save $30-60 a month on your electric bill if you watch the kWh charge on your bill and switch every quarter. It has taken more time to write this blog than it did to switch. Visit them today at www.yeptexas.com or www.powertochoose.org and do your own research to find the best deal for your area.
