How to Choose An Electricity Provider that Works for You

0

Few business owners realize how easy it is to switch electricity providers, or how much value there is in potentially switching. By selecting a new electricity provider, you’ll have access to a new line of service with new terms, new benefits, and a new price schedule—but you’ll still receive electricity the same way you have before.

As a business owner, electricity is a major expense. Depending on how many locations you have and how large those locations are, your electricity costs could easily run in the thousands per year. Understanding how to choose an electricity provider can give you better insights into your energy consumption habits, and cut your electricity bills dramatically.

Here’s how:

  1. Do some research. Look for electricity providers like Star Energy Partners, and work to understand their core mission as well as what differentiates them from the competition.
  2. Compare rate plans. Different providers will offer different rates with different contract lengths and different terms of service. Make sure you find a contract that works for you in terms of price as well as service terms (and watch out for extra fees!)
  3. Understand the benefits. Some electricity providers, like Star Energy Partners, offer extra incentives for their consumers, such as energy management programs and other benefits. Find what fits your business!
  4. Review the contract. If you proceed with a switch, make sure to read your contract carefully and verify you’re getting everything you wanted from your provider.

Switching is relatively fast and easy. Your power supply will not be interrupted, but as soon as the switch is made, you’ll enjoy the benefits and new pricing you signed up for.
