How Does It Work If I Switch My Energy Supplier?

In some ways this is so simple it is almost scary. The public utilities continue to own the hardware. They own and continue to service the pipes, the meters and all the hardware associated with delivering your energy. When you sign a contract through Zurvita then the only thing that will change is that the public utility gets the energy delivered from a different provider.

After you have switched you will either get one or two bills depending on your location. Some public utilities continue to send out just one bill. On your current bill you have a line item that lists gas and electric respectively, that line item will switch to show the name of your new supplier. In the states where this is not available you will receive a bill from the public utility, which is the bill for customer service and usage of hard ware. Then you will get a bill from your new supplier of energy.

You will see two differences after you have switched. The set-up of your billing will be different as listed above. The end price you pay will be lower. Nothing else will change.

The public utility continues to provide customer service, service meters and service pipes of energy. You simply get the energy from a different supplier.

    If a company signs a 4yr contract and within that 4yr period the energy providers rate become lower for another customer. Do existing customers automatically receive the lower rate?

      Hello Gil,

      Zurvita has several possible contracts. In Texas they have 3 year, 1 year and month to month contracts. In most of the other deregulated states they have 1 year or month to month contracts.

      If you lock in the rates with a contract for 1 or 3 years then that is the price you stay at. Mind you, gambling that the price does not come down over the next 3 years seems like a very safe bet. You can also go on a month to month contract, and wait until there is a dip in the price and then convert to a longer term contract.

      Finally, you can do a month to month contract, with this you will ride the up’s and down’s of the market. The only reason I can imagine doing that is if the prices are really high right now, then wait for a month or so until they slide down a bit again. I would rather not take the gamble that the prices will go down over the next 1-3 years. I am quite certain they won’t.

      If you have further questions you are welcome to give me a call 707-206-5341

      Warm regards,
      Malene
