A lot of people want to save money, from clipping coupons to help save on the grocery bill shopping sales for clothes and gifts, to comparison shopping for big purchases and services. What about your electricity?
CurrentChoice.com makes it easy to see if you really will save. Every step is easy to follow. Simply go to CurrentChoice.com and type in your Pittsburgh zip code. It will tell you how much you could save. You can choose if you want to find a service with a variable rate, fixed rate, or if you want to search both.
One of several things that make the site user friendly, if you’re not sure what something means, there’s an info bubble you can click on and it will define it for you in easy to understand terms. At first, the savings numbers you see on the site are based on the average electricity usage for people in the Pittsburgh area. The cool part is that in a few seconds CurrentChoice.com can get your actual usage from the Duquesne Light Company’s website and then show you your savings based on your usage.
Are you making efforts to go greener? You even have the option to see which providers in your are offer energy from renewable sources AND see that you can save money by switching to them too.
Maybe you find yourself torn between 2 providers on the site, or perhaps you want to line up 3 different providers and see what the differences are. You can click the compare ticker in your list for your zip code and line them up side by side in an apples to apples comparison. What do I mean by apples to apples? Well, all of them will be listed in the same measurement, like kilowatts for example. The info is listed the same so it’s easy to go from column to column and line up the info.
Here’s an example of my screen using area average usage.
If you decide you wanna go ahead and switch your service provider it couldn’t be easier. Select the provider you want. If you chose to compare using your usage, your info is already there. Hit confirm once you made your choice. Once you confirm, that’s it. You just made the switch to save money on your electric bill. No phone calls to make, no worries about service workers coming to your house to “change” things over. It happens automatically withing 4 weeks.
I had the pleasure of talking with Alan Lehmann, the President and Co-founder of CurrentChoice.com and I learned a lot. Did you know that it used to be, that electric companies used to own the utility plants, poles, wires, and provide the service but now a company like Duquesne Light for example, only provides the service for the area? The electricity itself will come from the same plant but your just buying a “brand” of electricity” so to speak. If you’re a Duquesne Light customer and switch your electricity your service will still be provided by Duquesne Light. So no worries if you’re power goes out or a poles down. Duquesne Light will still be the ones to fix issues that arise. You don’t have to worry about who you need to call.
