My contract w/Gexa is up for renewal. Reliant is offering lower rates. Any problems w/Reliant?
Yes, just sign up for the new company within the 14 day window of your contract expiring and everything will happen automatically. Also, you can usually start shopping your new deal sometimes 30 - 45 days out (or at a minimum a couple weeks). With several of the companies you can schedule the date your new contract will start in advance. So, if you see a great deal, jump on it, and schedule the transfer of service to occur within the 14 day window of your then-current contract is expiring. ** having the service transfer date landing within the 14 day expiration period is the key to avoid any cancellation charges.HouseDivided06 said:
Thanks. I just signed up with Discount Power after being with StarTex Power for about 7 years. Was going to use Energy Ogre but had all my monthly usage and plugged it in. Pretty straightforward. Now stupid question because I haven't switched in so long: I called StarTex and let them know I was switching, and he said I didn't need to call and stop service or disconnect or anything. Once the new retailer does all the paperwork it just automatically switches. Is this correct?
I find this hard to believe unless you were completely negligent in choosing your previous plan. Energy has been cheap for many years now and there is no way the difference would be that much unless you were hoodwinked on your prior plan.Agoodlittleag04 said:
My bills before energy ogre were $250-$600. I haven't had a bill over $70 since I signed up earlier this year. They've changed my provider/plan every 3 months, which is something I would never do on my own. It may not be for everyone, but in less than 6 months it's already way more than paid for itself for the year, so I'm a fan.
