Thread: Which Electricity Provider......

  1. #1

    Default Which Electricity Provider......

    ive rented a house finally. today i got the water turned on and scheduled to meet the guy from Atmos to get the gas turned on Monday. electricity is still up for grabs though and im not sure who to go through. ReMax is turning the electricity off on wednesday, so ive got a little time to figure out which provider.

    Reliants rates are quite a bit cheaper than TXU. i have told me that he had problems with Gexa. Remax currently has the power turned on through TXU. if i get a different provider, will there be down time for the switch from one to the other?

    who do you use and what plan? any tips or advice?

    Personally, I'm with TXU and am happy with them. There's more important things than saving money. After all, we could all be driving Hyundai's!

    TXU is just the provider in this case. They aren't going to run new electrical supply lines if/when someone changes providers. TXU has raised their rates 24% since October 2005 (and posting record profits to boot). You do the math.

    I know a lot of people just get in a rut of paying the bill without thinking of the options, kind of like insurance or employment even, most of the time you have to give yourself a raise by changing jobs or cut your bill by changing providers....that being said I have stayed with the same insurance for oevr 15 years cause I just can't get a better rate, everytime I try its about 400. more through anyone else.

    I was really shocked to see the difference in the electricity rates though, same lines, cheaper service....if the lines are down TXU comes to fix them for their customers anyway so its a win win situation to change to a cheaper provider....so thanks again for saving me money Sammm!

    Where I live, the county co-op is the only provider. There is no choice.
