Fewer San Diego Energy Consumers Having Electricity Disconnected

While the economy has not necessarily turned around since its swift downfall a few years ago there does seem to be fewer San Diego energy consumers experiencing electricity disconnections due to payment issues.

The reasons for this are thought to have more to do with outreach on the part of the electricity companies than with any financial factors though.  Apparently numerous energy companies increased their outreach efforts to customers unable to pay their bills over the last year and gave them more solutions to work with.  Electricity consumers who wish to compare the many different energy companies that offer service to the San Diego area should contact Electric Rates in order to do so.

• Only 1.7 percent of energy consumers having their electricity provided by San Diego Gas & Electric had their electricity disconnected in 2010.
• In 2009 1.92 percent of San Diego Gas & Electric customers had their electricity disconnected.
• The percentage of Southern California Edison customers that had their utilities disconnected in 2010 was 5.83 percent compared to 7.5 percent in 2009.
• Company outreach efforts are aimed to find solutions for customers who are behind on their electricity bills.

It is great to see a company reach out to customers during hard times but the best way to avoid getting behind on electricity company payments is to have your electricity provided by the company offering the lowest rate.  Some of the programs designed for individuals having trouble paying their bills provide a lower rate that is somewhat based on income.

Subsidizing electricity rates is great for some individuals though but others are still stuck paying the higher rate.  Those individuals should be sure to compare the rates of each of the companies available to them in order to find the lowest rate possible.

When you call Electric Rates to compare rates you may find that you can save considerably on your energy costs.
