1. Better Rates.
Really, doesn’t it usually come down to price? Especially with the commodity of electricity; there are no ugly electrons. You may shop around and find that “Electric Company A” has a better rate than “Electric Company B”, sign a one year contract and when that term is up, be content to renew with Company A at whatever price they offer. The problem is that electric companies tend to have crazy swings in their relative market price. Be sure to compare rates from multiple electric companies every time your contract comes up for renewal.

2. Better Terms
Your provider may be content signing a contract with a hefty “Early Termination Penalty”, $10 month base charge and 10 days to pay, but you shouldn’t. Be sure to read your contract carefully; if your provider won’t give you the terms you need, see if there is something better out there. Many electric providers offer flexible terms. There is a wide variance in electric provider contracts, some are great and some, well, not so great. ElectricBids.com carefully inspects every contract that goes out to our important business clients. For more info, click “Contact Us” in the dark blue bar or call right now.
3. Better Billing
This one only applies to customers who have experienced confusing billing statements. I’m a seasoned energy pro and I see bills that are confusing to me every day, so I’m sure this applies to many others as well. It is always a good practice to ask for an example bill before signing with an electric provider. It will help you understand what charges you will see when you get your first bill and ask questions about those charges prior to signing the agreement. Most electric companies have billing options such as summary billing, individual site billing, balanced billing, etc. For more info, click “Contact Us” in the dark blue bar or call right now.
4. Better Customer Service
Nothing else is even worth mentioning when this stinker is present. Any provider can make a mistake, but when their customer service team sucks that mistake never gets corrected. It festers, gets infected and the end result is customer amputation (forgive the graphic nature of this analogy). Quality customer care should always be a top priority of the provider you’re with, if it’s not, keep shopping.
5. Keep them on their toes
