Types of plans in Arlington
The SaveOnEnergy marketplace features a variety of energy plan types to choose from. Here’s an overview of the most common plan options. Call the number on your screen for further advice from one of our energy experts.
Fixed-rate plans
With a fixed-rate plan, you will pay the same energy rate throughout your term. The contract will typically last one to three years, eliminating any chance of price spikes due to inclement weather or market changes.
However, ending your contract before it expires may result in an early termination fee (ETF). A fixed-rate plan is ideal for customers who want to know what to expect on their monthly bills and don’t have plans to move in the near future.
Variable-rate plans
Your energy rate on a variable-rate plan fluctuates with the wholesale market price. When demand is low, your bill should be lower, too. However, your bill may spike when demand rises. These plans are great if you prefer the freedom to switch at any time without paying a fee.
No-deposit plans
Some providers offer no-deposit electricity plans for customers who would rather avoid a credit check and potential upfront deposit. Prepaid energy plans are the most common no-deposit option, and they allow you to pay for your energy ahead of time. In Arlington, Payless Power offers several prepaid energy plans.
Same-day electricity plans
Some Arlington electricity providers offer same-day electricity to customers who need to get the lights on quickly. Check for same-day plans from providers like 4Change Energy, Frontier Utilities, and Express Energy. Call our energy experts directly for more information about same-day service.
Green electricity
Texas is a leader in green energy, ranking among the top states for wind power and solar energy generation. Every plan in the state uses some percentage of green energy. Your plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) will tell you exactly how much green energy is in your plan.
Certain providers, including Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy, offer 100% green energy plans. If you’re focused on reducing your carbon footprint, use our marketplace filters to find an Arlington provider with fully green energy plans.
Business energy plans
In addition to residents, businesses in Arlington can also benefit from the power to choose an energy provider. Fill out our business electricity form to create a customized commercial energy plan for your company.
