Mission weather fluctuates throughout the year. The average high temperature in August is 98 degrees. Energy demand and rates increase when the weather is warm. On average, Mission experiences milder temperatures from November through March — around 60 degrees. As energy demand drops, you can lock in an affordable rate during the mild season, making it a great time to compare rates and switch plans. Remember that you may face an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel a fixed-rate plan early.
You’ll encounter various plan types when you shop for electricity providers in Mission. Here is an overview of some of the most common options you’ll find on the SaveOnEnergy marketplace.
A fixed-rate plan comes with a contract, with term lengths usually 12–36 months. Your monthly energy rate will remain the same for the length of your contract. However, the provider may charge an ETF if you cancel before your term ends.
Your monthly energy rate fluctuates with the wholesale energy cost in a variable-rate plan. You may experience savings in some months, while your bill could spike in others. But, because there is no contract, you can switch without a fee at any time.
When you sign up for an electricity plan, you may have to pay a deposit if your credit score doesn’t meet a certain threshold. However, some providers offer no-deposit plans that allow you to avoid the credit check and deposit altogether. With a prepaid plan, for example, you can simply pay for your energy up front to avoid making a deposit.
