Energy Plan Lessons From Customer Mistakes, Part 1

Mistakes are often the best way to learn. So, we’re exploring some examples of classic mistakes customers have made with their with their Pennsylvania energy plans to show other how others can avoid problems with their energy suppliers.

Recently, I was reading through some provider reviews and found several classic examples where customers made mistakes with their with their Pennsylvania electricity plansthat wound up costing them more. In the interest of helping our other energy customers I’m sharing a few edited examples as common mistakes to show how other customers can avoid problems with their energy suppliers.

Late Fees? What Late Fees?

“I’ve been with X Company for over ten years. I was satisfied with their rates and I always renewed with them. Last year, I noticed my bills getting bigger and bigger. So I looked them over and found they contained $10 penalties for payments made after the due date and a $10 “disconnect letter service fee”!  I called them to explain. They listened but didn’t offer any explanation except “there’s nothing they can do.” I AM DONE WITH X Company!”

Read the Terms of Service

As you can see, the frustration and anger of this customer is understandable, especially since they don’t see that they did anything wrong. But look closer. The customer complains that late payment penalties and disconnection letter fees suddenly pop out of the wood work when their account wasn’t paid by the due date. They infer that these fees are unfairly added on to their monthly bill.

The fact is that Pennsylvania state law requires that all fees and charges be spelled out in each plan’s Disclosure Statement. By reading the Disclosure Statement, customers will learn what they can expect if they make late payments. Pennsylvania state lawsays that late fees can only be charged once per amount due on a late bill. The amount can be up to 1.5% interest per month (18% per year) for the amount of the overdue bill and cannot be re-penalized. That means, the fee cannot be charged over and over again. However, note that it’s now very common for companies to include additional fees that can increase customer bills further.

That this customer sought to work out a payment system with their Pennsylvania energy supplieris commendable. But while some energy suppliers are willing to work with customers, some really just want to be paid when the bill comes due:

“When it comes to your electricity bill, “X Company is here to help. Your local utility company handles all Customer Assistance Programs. Please contact them to learn about payment options.”

Obviously, some customers having financial troubles might want to avoid signing with a company that thinks this is how to be “helpful”. The best way to learn about the best Pennsylvania electricity providersis to read actual customer reviews.

Always Verify Your Payments

It’s also important to bear in mind that this customer mainly got into trouble because they didn’t check that payments cleared on time before the due date. Sure, it’s also possible the due date came right before the customer received their pay check and they didn’t have the money available. However, the customer should have anticipated that and planned ahead.

To be frank, we don’t know this customer’s exact circumstance for sure but suffice it to say that you should always make sure your payments get processed in time. If you pay before the due-date and you find a delay in the processing causes you a late fee, get your payment and relevant bank info together and complain to your Pennsylvania retail electricity provider. You’ll have a much stronger case if you can prove it’s their fault.

One of life’s best ways to learn is to make mistakes. By learning from these examples, I’m hoping that energy customers will be better able to understand what they can expect and need to do in order to avoid having problems with their energy suppliers.

PA PUC Considering Power Switch Electricity Pricing Change

Is PA Power Switch costing you more? It leaves out information on electricity prices. The PA PUC wants to fix it but how long will that take? Read who has the most accurate pricing information and best rates right now to help you save money every month!

How do the changes to PA Power Switch electricity pricing affect me?

At the end of July, Dan Mumford, the Director of Pennsylvania PUC’s Office of Competitive Market Oversight (OCMO) announced that the PUC will be discussing changes to the PUC’s Power Switch website and how they display products. There are several issues here affecting customers shopping for a new utility, so let’s take a look at a few.

Smart meter roll out isn’t yet complete in PA

One of the proposed rules would require all generation charges on the website to be displayed as actual prices, “per kilowatt-hour.” This has, however, been noted as difficult to implement because of the plan innovations offered by smart meters. Smart meters digitally track usage and provide a more accurate reading than analog meters, and can transmit usage data back to the utility every 15 minutes. Home owners can then track their electricity usage and prices throughout the day and adjust their energy usage accordingly. It becomes easier to use less electricity during expensive periods of the day, and more during less expensive periods.

Smart meters allow suppliers the chance to offer more energy pricing options and plans. The PA PUC is unsure of how to display this information correctly on their website. Meanwhile, smart meter rollout is being further complicated by the fact that not everybody wants a smart meter. There is legislation waiting to be passed that would allow people to opt out of smart meters entirely and allow them to keep their analog meter. All of which further complicates pricing matters.

Uncertainty with how to display incentives and deals

Currently, the PA Power Switch website provides users with an estimated price per month for plans. While the website took steps in December 2017 to start displaying the “per kWh” price alongside plans and promoting how much ‘potential’ money customers could save, the savings didn’t take things such as expensive enrollment fees into account. This meant any potential savings were likely to be far less than advertised. Some fees are not reflected in the “per kWh” price, making it difficult for customers to know exactly how much they’ll be paying on their electricity bill.

When you bring smart meters to the table, things get even more complicated. Proposed time of use plans change the pricing of electricity during periods of higher demand. For that reason, energy rates may be cheaper or more expensive depending on the time of day, and so potential savings can change depending on when a customer uses their energy. In such cases, how accurate can the “per kWh” prices be? While the Power Switch website is trying to keep up-to-date with smart meters, a variety of plans and pricing structures, options, and rates, how can customers know what they’re really getting? How can customers know what they’re really paying, and how much they’re really saving?

Stay up-to-date and save with PA Energy Ratings!

With PA Energy Ratings you can easily and accurately compare utility plans and any additional costs that may be involved. Take the confusion out of shopping for a new electricity plan and head over to https://www.paenergyratings.com/electricity-rates to learn more and compare plans right now.

Most plans have a early cancellation fee, ranging from a flat fee to a variable rate. But what if I told you Direct Energy has no early cancellation fee? Direct Energy understands that plans change suddenly. Other energy suppliers have a early cancellation fee of $150, which can cause quite a hassle when you’re light on cash. Check out how they rate when other customers compare electricity providers.

Why Direct Energy is the Best Electricity Company for you.

If you’re tired of driving to the post office to send off your energy bill every month, Direct Energy has something you may love. You can create an online account with them and pay your bills online. You can look at your energy usage and keep track of how much energy you’re using.

3 Big Ways to Cut Your Duquesne Pittsburgh Electricity Bill

Saving money on your electric bill can be just as easy as making smart energy choices. Find out how the three best ways to reduce your energy usage and cut your costs!

How can I save money on my electricity bill?

Summer’s here and so is the heat. You’ve done your best to conserve electricity and be energy-wise, but when your utility bill comes in it’s still enough to make your wallet cry. We’ve all experienced this before, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Here are three big ways you can cut your electricity bill in Duquesne Pittsburgh.

Raise your thermostat at night and when away

You can save as much as 10% a year on your bill by turning your thermostat back a few degrees, and this goes for when you are away during the day or when you’re sleeping at night as well. Keeping your thermostat set as high as possible during the summer when you’re not home or active will lower your energy bill. This is because the smaller the difference between the inside and outside temperatures, the less frequently your air conditioning will run. A programmable thermostat not only makes it easier but also more comfortable and efficient. It’s also good to keep in mind that setting the thermostat to its coldest setting won’t cool your house any faster either; it’ll just run your air conditioner longer and result in making your bill even more expensive.

Insulate your home against air leaks

A great deal of energy is wasted due to air leaks in and out of your home. This can be stopped by caulking the cracks and openings around windows, doors, and places where pipes and wires pass through outside walls. Adding weather stripping to windows and doors also reduces drafts. Another way you can reduce your electricity bill is by adding insulation to your home. Both air sealing and adding insulation offer a quick return on investment. By reducing drafts and leakage you can improve comfort levels and save on your utility bill!

Shop for a new fixed rate plan at PA Energy Ratings!

It goes without saying that even if you adjust your thermostat and insulate your home, these savings mean nothing if you’re still paying too much on your electricity plan. You can shop for a new fixed rate plan at PA Energy Ratings right now and find the best deal for your personal needs. A fixed rate plan will lock in your price for the duration of the contract, protecting you from any external price raises and saving you money.

Slash your bill right now and save with PA Energy Ratings!

With these small tips you can save money on your energy bill right now. Don’t let your hard-earned money go to waste, and don’t forget, you can head over to https://www.paenergyratings.com/electricity-rates to learn more and compare plans.

PowerSwitch To 12 Month Plans PECO Norristown, PA!

Shopping for the right energy plan in PECO Norristown, PA, can be confusing . Luckily, we’ve picked the best electricity rates in top plans that might fit your family’s needs!

What’s The Best 12 Month Plan in Norristown?

Are you moving soon? If you’re like many whose leases are up this summer, you might be looking to switch your electricity plan in Norristown, PA. We’ve used PA Energy Ratings.com to look through and find the best deal on a 12-month fixed rate plan­­– perfect for that new apartment or home! Our three best plans offering the best value in the Norristown area are Public Power 12 Month Fixed, Next Era Saver 12, and Frontier Utility’s Online Premier-12. These plans share a lot of similarities, such as:

None are 100% “green power plans”

All offer free online access, paperless billing, and bill pay

All are fixed rate plans

You may be tempted to look for a variable rate plan to save money, but this leaves you open to drastic rate changes during high-use times of the year such as the deep of winter, or the dog days of summer. While it may offer you a low introductory rate, the following months will often see large spikes in prices based on the wholesale cost of electricity– spikes that often cost you much, much more than you originally anticipated.

How much will these plans cost me?

Two things are really important while shopping for electricity: the kW/h price, and any fees that come along with it.

Public Power seems to have both the highest customer satisfaction, and the lowest price. Their 12 Month Fixed plan costs only 7¢ per kWh, and doesn’t have a cancellation fee.

Next Era also offers a comparably low rate, at 7.1¢ per kWh, but has a $10 per remaining month cancellation fee.

Frontier Utility has the highest rate at 7.4¢ per kWh, and also has a $10 per remaining month cancellation fee. This is still a competitive price though, as some electricity prices in Norristown go up as high as 10.6¢ per kWh!

Price per kWh may look all well and good on the screen, but how much does that really cost you per month? The average Norristown home uses about 841kWh per month. Not including PECO’s distribution charges, these plans’ approximate costs per month and per year break down like this:

With Public Power, you would spend around $59 a month.

With Next Era, you would spend about $60 a month

And with Frontier Utility you would spend about $62 a month.

These minor differences become much more noticeable through the course of a year.

For Public Power your total for the year would be around $708.

With Next Era, your total would be around $720.

Finally, with Frontier Utility you would spend around $744

Make the switch today!

It is important to consider your budget when thinking about which plan to choose. Those with fixed or low incomes should keep the long term costs in mind when picking your power plan, especially with cancellation fees and other potential fees outlined in the terms and conditions of your contract. You can increase your savings by looking up how to save electricity in your home. Head on over to http://www.paenergyratings.com to look into switching your power company today!

Five Easy Ways to Slash Summer Pittsburgh Electric Cooling Bills

Reducing your electricity use in Pittsburgh, PA can reduce your monthly bill. It’s not that hard to do—sometimes it’s just requires the push of a button!

How can you slash your summer electricity bill in Pittsburgh, PA?

As the summer heat rises, so do your electricity bills. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects a 3% increase on electricity spending this summer compared to 2017. So what can you do to slash your bill and make some savings? Let’s take a look at five ways you can cut down on your energy rates in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

1. Cook outdoors and save money

When you cook inside, the heat puts a large drain on your air-conditioning system as it tries to combat the rise in temperature. A simple solution is to switch to the occasional cold meals, such as sandwiches or salads, and if you need to cook something, head outside! Save money on your energy rates by firing up the grill and enjoying a hot meal in the comfort of your backyard!

2. Wash and dry clothes during off-peak hours

Another way to save money on your electric bills is to run electricity-intensive appliances at night. Electric companies charge lower rates during off-peak hours, so take advantage of this by running the washing machine and dryer during these times. Most of the energy for washing clothes is used to heat the water. You can save even more money washing in cold water and then your hanging clothes out to dry in the sun.

3. Unplug your electronics

Your TV, computer and game consoles go into standby mode when they’re off so they are still using electricity when they’re plugged in. Unplug them when you’re not using them, or if that’s too much hassle, save on your energy bill by plugging them into a power strip that you can turn off with a single switch when you go to bed at night. Less electricity running means less heating up in the house.

4. Turn the AC off and your fans on

Air conditioners are convenient but expensive. Cut your electric bill by running a fan instead. Fans don’t reduce room temperature but they help your body cool naturally. If you don’t have overhead fans, you can use an oscillating fan with the windows open and start saving money right away.

5. Close the shades and curtains

By keeping your shades, blinds or curtains down during the day you’ll be keeping the sun from shining through the windows, which heats up the house very quickly. A very simple step, but it can help you make noticeable savings on your summer electricity bills.

  Slash that cooling bill and save with PA Energy Ratings!

By implementing these five steps you can save on your electric bills and get the most out of your summer. And if you’re looking for even cheaper Pittsburgh electricity rates, you can head over to https://www.paenergyratings.com/electricity-rates to learn more and compare plans.

Summer's Best Fixed Rate Plans for PECO Philadelphia

Finding the best low rate for your PECO Philadelphia electricity this summer is reason to celebrate! Find out how you can shop fixed rate electricity plan to PowerSwitch to the right plan for your family’s needs.

What is the best plan right now?

If you’re living in the PECO service area and need a cheap Philadelphia energy plan, you might be in a spot of trouble. The coming summer promises to be a hot one, and the cities will be boiling. That means electricity plans rates will rise as demand rises for air conditioning. So from me to you, let me offer help for your search for the best deal.

What is the cheapest plan?

Let’s look at three plans, all of different lengths and with different rates. The first plan is a six month plan called the Online Lock-6 from Frontier Utilities. With a rate of 6.6 cents per kWh and a termination fee of $10 for every month remaining in each month, it is the cheapest six month plan from PECO energy suppliers. Other six month plans have a rate of 6.9 cents per kWh or higher, going all the way to 8.9 cents per kWh.

What is the cheapest 12 month plan?

With a twelve month plan your electricity rates don’t change for a year. The NextEra Saver 12 from NextEra Energy has a cheap rate at 7.1 cents per kWh with an early termination fee of only $10 for the number of months remaining in the contract. So if you have three months remaining, you pay $30. Compared to other plans with rates as high as 10.6 cents per kWh it’s the cheapest 12 plan in PECO philadelphia. In January the cheapest plan was from Sperian Energy, but because of the changing market that plan now costs 7.7 cents per kWh.

Who is the cheapest 36 month plan in PECO Philadelphia?

This next plan is for people who don’t want to worry about having their rates changed for a long time. TriEagle Energy, Eagle 36 is a 36 month plan with a rate of 7.6 cents per kWh that doesn’t change for three years, protecting from rising energy prices. It has a high termination fee of $125 but if you decide to cancel the plan before the end of the second year, you would save money versus a plan with a $10 per month cancellation fee. Other similar 36 month plans have rates of 7.9 cents per kWh and higher. Check out comparisons of TriEagle Energy and other Philadelphia electricity suppliers.

Who has the best and cheapest plan?

The best plan here depends on your situation, if you’re planning to move in the near future the six month would be the best option. However if you want a low rate of electricity for a long time the twelve month or thirty six month plans may be preferable to a six month. You choose what plan fits your situation, and enjoy the savings. If you would like to look at more plans though, check out https://www.paenergyratings.com for more choices.

Let’s look at three plans, all of different lengths and with different rates. The first plan is a six month plan called the Online Lock-6 from Frontier Utilities. With a rate of 6.6 cents per kWh and a termination fee of $10 for every month remaining in each month, it is the cheapest six month plan from PECO energy suppliers. Other six month plans have a rate of 6.9 cents per kWh or higher, going all the way to 8.9 cents per kWh.

What is the cheapest 12 month plan?

With a twelve month plan your electricity rates don’t change for a year. The NextEra Saver 12 from NextEra Energy has a cheap rate at 7.1 cents per kWh with an early termination fee of only $10 for the number of months remaining in the contract. So if you have three months remaining, you pay $30. Compared to other plans with rates as high as 10.6 cents per kWh it’s the cheapest 12 plan in PECO philadelphia. In January the cheapest plan was from Sperian Energy, but because of the changing market that plan now costs 7.7 cents per kWh.

Who is the cheapest 36 month plan in PECO Philadelphia?

This next plan is for people who don’t want to worry about having their rates changed for a long time. TriEagle Energy, Eagle 36 is a 36 month plan with a rate of 7.6 cents per kWh that doesn’t change for three years, protecting from rising energy prices. It has a high termination fee of $125 but if you decide to cancel the plan before the end of the second year, you would save money versus a plan with a $10 per month cancellation fee. Other similar 36 month plans have rates of 7.9 cents per kWh and higher. Check out comparisons of TriEagle Energy and other Philadelphia electricity suppliers.

What is a Pennsylvania Electricity Bill Scam?

Pennsylvania utility scams are on the rise. Learn how to protect yourself and your loved ones from being conned and robbed!

How do I avoid being scammed on my electricity bill?

Scams involving utilities are unfortunately becoming increasingly common. But how can you spot them and what can you do to protect yourself from these cons? Let’s take a look at three of the most common utility scams.

How to avoid electric supplier phone scams

The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) reminds consumers to be cautious of telephone scams involving energy bills. One particular scam involves scammers calling customers and claiming they are from their electric company. They then inform the customer they have an unpaid bill and if they do not pay immediately, their service will be terminated. It is important to remember that if you are past due, you will always receive a written notice of how to avoid disconnection of service 10 days in advance. Your energy supplier will never demand immediate payment over the phone, and if you receive a suspicious call you should hang up immediately.

Avoiding door to door energy provider scams

Another common scam involves an individual, or individuals, that claim to be from the customer’s utility company or a competitor. They will try to gather personal information or access to the customer’s home, and in many cases while one person distracts the customer, the other robs their home. They may also request to see a copy of your utility bill to see if you are “getting the lowest rate.” In this situation you should remember that utilities will not usually come to your door unless you have called them. Always ask for ID, and call the company to confirm the salesman, especially if they claim to need access to your home. Supplier representatives must wear photo ID displaying their name and the supplier they work for. If in doubt, always call to confirm.

Electricity supplier email scams and what to do about them

The PUC has warned of an email scam where customers receive an email stating they owe money on their electric bill even when they do not. This scam targets both customers and non-customers who use a different supplier. Another email scam asks recipients to click on a link. This can often lead to a malicious website that will then infect the user’s computer with a virus or malware. Make sure never to click on a link or attachment unless you have verified the sender, and if the email requests personal information, delete it immediately.

What are the Rules for Smart Meters in Pennsylvania?

The PA Public Utilities Commission requires all home in the commonwealth to have a smart meter installed by 2023. Learn how they can help to modernize the grid and cut your monthly PA electric bill.

What is a Smart Meter?

You can think of a smart meter as a two way communication to your local utility. A smart meter keeps track of your energy usage in 15 minute chunks and keeps your utility alert to the distribution conditions in your area. This means that if they stop recieving a signal from your smart meter, you aren’t getting power, and they can respond. They know where energy is going and at what time.

Why do I need a Smart Meter?

The Pennsylvania energy act 129 made in 2008 requires the local utility providers of Pennsylvania to supply customers with smart meters. All seven Pennsylvania local utility companies, PECO, Duquesne, Penn Elec, West Penn, Pennsylvania Power, PPL, and Metropolitan Edison, are required to create energy efficient plans to reduce energy usage. One part of those plans is the use of the Smart Meter.

How Do I Opt Out of Smart Meters.

Unfortunately, your home is required by Pennsylvania law to have a smart meter. The PUC PA specifies that all consumers must have a Smart Meter. As such, a smart meter as a condition of service with your local utility. All PA electricity consumers are also required to pay the Smart Meter surcharge until full smart meter deployment is completed around 2023. The meter surcharge is a pass through fee. Each local utility has its own smart meter cost recovery plan that must be approved by the PA PUC.

PA Smart Meters Benefit You

One of the big problems with sending electricity over wires is “line loss”. This comes from the wire’s natural resistance to electricity. When wire resists the movement of electricity it gives off heat. The longer the wire, the more electrical resistance, and the more heat it produces. On hot summer days when there’s high demand for electricity, power lines sag because they are getting hotter and hotter. If they sag low enough to touch a tree, they can short out and cause a blackout.

Another problem with moving electricity during high demand periods is constraint. Because power lines get hot and stretch, they can only handle so much electricity at one time. If a lot of power is routed through one power line that can’t handle the load, generators must wait to transmit their electricity —and they get paid thousands of dollars to wait.

Smart meters allow your local utility to track demand and usage of energy. If there is more energy being used in one area, and less in another, they can send electricity the most efficient route to the area that needs it. Because they eliminate the need for people to go house to house to read meters as well as better deter theft of electricity, smart meters help keep electricity rates lower.

Track Your Own Usage and Save!

If you’re trying to cut your electric usage being able to track your electric usage in fifteen minute blocks can be very useful, espcially if you’re using it to eliminate your home’s energy hogs. Unfortunately, smart meters use a different wireless protocal to communicate with your utilty. That’s why you can’t communicate directly with yoru smart meter using your smart device or computer. However, many Pennsylvanian electricity suppliers provide up to date information about your usage through your o line account. With the information of your usage, you can use electricity rates to predict how much you’ll spend.
