Clean Up Earth

Powertochoose.com is a great way to save money, and to come up with more environmental solutions for your household electric needs.  Powertochoose is a Texas company, only for use by Texas residents, but it compares electric company rates and specials. 

Many of the larger companies have overcharged for years, and continue to raise rates.  Fortunately, you can reduce your electric bill drastically by choosing one of the other less expensive companies.  Initially, I was concerned about doing this.  My thinking was “My power is going will shut off all the time for no reason”, and “This must be a scam….They’ll take my money, and then close down their company” .  Well, I tried it, and couldn’t be more happy.  As soon as the company I was currently with raised their rates, I’d go with a different company.  You can also lock in your rate for a year or more. 

However, one of the more interesting things that I notice, is that you can search for power companies that use specific percentages of renewable engergy.   Some of the companies use 100% renewable energy.  And while those companies have a slightly higher rate than a lot of the electric companies, they are by no means the highest charging companies.  I usually find that they are in the middle of the road.  As a matter of fact, the company I was using at one point (0% renewable energy) was charging me 6% more than the company that was 100% renewable. 

So, you can save money and help save the environment by switching your electric service using the powertochoose.com tool to guide your way.  It’s a start in the right direction.
