How much do you think you could save?

I was buying a new car this week and the sales guy had the great idea of talking about how much money I spend a month just to see what I could afford to buy. When I told him I spent about $75 a month on electricity he looked at me like I was crazy.

I asked him what he was paying for electricity a month and it was $200 and something. I told him that sounded really high and asked who he was with. TXU Energy is what he told me.

I told him I was an energy broker and that he should shop and compare rates from other providers. I explained he did not need to stay with his default provider.

Thinking there must be a reason he was paying more than twice as much as I he asked me how many bedrooms my house has. To his surprised we both have three bedrooms.

Since he was selling me a car, I don’t know if he ever shopped and compared electric companies or not. Hopeful his next bill is not $200 and something.

I can’t tell you how many stories I have of people just not knowing they can compare and shop for an electric company. One of the reasons why they don’t know is they just moved into a deregulated area.

Here is an easy way you can see if you are in a deregulated area, just type your zip code into the compare box at the top right. If you see rates then you live in a deregulated area.

One of the coolest things that I’m proud of is you don’t have to visit a ton of websites to get the rates you are looking for. Right here on Electricrates.com you can find rates from several providers without having to leave this page.

Before I make this a complete sales pitch I should tell you that commercial customers can shop right here too. If you need to speak with an energy consultant just call 1-903-245-4989.

I think I have made my point and you will shop and compare electricity rates.
