The free part
Send us one bill. We will tell you where you stand.
One page, free, no obligation, and it is yours whether or not you ever work with us. If everything is fine we will say so.
We find
Your real rate
all in, not the number on the contract
We find
Your end date
the one nobody remembers
We find
Your peak
the 15 minutes you are billed on
We find
The errors
wrong class, penalties, stale riders
A business pays for its worst fifteen minutes on top of its kilowatt-hours.
If everything starts together one morning, that quarter of an hour sets a charge for the
whole month.
How that happens
Most owners have never been told this, and it is frequently fixable by changing nothing
but the order things switch on. On some utilities it is worse than a month: one spike sets
a floor under your bill for the following eleven.
The paid part
Then, if you want, we do the buying
Seven steps. Open any of them for the detail.
- We ask five or six retailers for a price, all on the same morning.
Why the same morning matters
Electricity prices here are set each morning and hold for a few hours. Quotes collected over two weeks cannot honestly be compared. We send them your meter number, your address and your last twelve months, and ask every one of them the same question. - You see all of them on one page, including the ones we would not pick.
What is on that page
Term, all-in price per kWh, what it costs against your usage rather than an average, what it costs to leave early, and how often that retailer's customers complain to the state. Plus a row for staying exactly where you are, priced the same way. - We tell you which one we would sign, and show the arithmetic.
Even when it is not the cheapest
Sometimes the best offer is not the lowest number — usually a bigger exit fee or a worse complaint record wiping out a small price gap. We show you that sum. Disagree and we process your choice without an argument. - Nothing is signed until you name the one you want.
Why we insist on this
We never move you on a standing instruction. Your reply naming an offer is the only thing we act on — and it is your protection: under the state's switching rules, whoever authorized a change has to be able to prove it. - Then we watch your end date, so it never lapses again.
this is where the money is
What lapsing actually costs
A commercial contract that ends does not stop. It rolls to a variable rate at two to three times what you were paying, and nobody is obliged to warn you. You hear from us at 90, 60 and 30 days, every renewal, for as long as you are with us. - Every month we check the bill against the contract.
And chase it when it is wrong
We read what they charged you and compare it with what they promised to charge you. Overcharges have no time limit in Texas and carry interest; the utility's right to back-bill you expires in months. That asymmetry is in your favour and almost nobody uses it. - Once a year, one page.
What is on it
What you paid, what the market was offering, what we advised, and what it saved you. In plain numbers, so you can decide for yourself whether to keep paying us.
The difference
A broker is not free. Neither are we. Only one of us says so.
| A broker | Us | |
|---|---|---|
| Who pays them | whichever retailer wins | you, and nobody else |
| What it costs you | $1–6 per MWh inside your rate | a published fee on an invoice |
| If your rate is higher | they earn more | we earn the same |
| If the answer is "stay put" | they earn nothing | we earn the same |
| After you sign | no reason to watch | watching is what you paid for |
| Quotes you see | the ones that suit them | all of them |
None of that is illegal, and it is usually disclosed somewhere in the paperwork. You should simply know it is happening. Here is how everyone in this market gets paid — including the comparison sites, and who owns them.
What it costs
Two prices, both published
You will know both of these before you decide anything, and you will already have had the free review, so you will know what we found before you pay us a penny.
Once
The cost audit
$950
one meter · add $450 for each extra meter
- Your real all-in rate, your contract status and your end date
- Your utility rate class, checked against what your meter actually records. On a low load factor it can cost around $880 a year, and it is nobody's job in the chain to notice
- Your load factor band, recomputed from your own usage rather than trusted from the code on the bill
- What one bad fifteen minutes would cost you, on your utility. This is not the same answer in Houston as it is in Dallas
- Power factor, where your utility actually charges for it
- Whether your electricity should be exempt from sales tax. If it should, that is up to 8.25% of the whole bill, every year, plus four years back
- Every charge checked against the utility's filed tariff, with the claim prepared for anything they got wrong
Every year
The watch
$600
per meter, per year
- Your end date, watched. Warnings at 90, 60 and 30 days, every renewal, for as long as you are with us. It never lapses again
- The peak alarm. If your demand spikes, we tell you — because on some utilities a single quarter of an hour sets your bill for the next eleven months
- Every bill read against what the contract promised. If they are wrong we chase it
- Your rate class and load factor watched for drift
- The buying round when your contract comes up, included. Five or six retailers on one morning, every quote shown to you, no commission in any of them
- One page a year: what you paid, what the market offered, what we advised, what it saved
Several meters cost less. The review is free either way and it is yours whether or not you ever work with us.
Send one bill and we will do the rest
Attach one recent bill and we have everything we need: your rate, your end date, your peak, and most of the errors. If you cannot find one, send the form anyway and we will tell you exactly what to look for.
We use this to reply to you about this and nothing else. No newsletter, no list sold to anybody, and no electricity company gets it or your bill.
