How To Keep Your Bill Low This Summer

Consider Switching Electricity Providers

One way Pennsylvania residents may be able to save on their electric bill is by switching to a fixed-rate electricity plan with a lower electricity supply rate. These plans lock in your electricity rate for the duration of your contract.

Outside of saving money, switching electricity providers can benefit you in other ways:

  • No Unexpected Rate Hikes – Fixed-rate plans can lock in your electricity supply rate for years
  • Support Clean Energy – You can find renewable energy plans that source 100% of their electricity from renewable sources
  • Unparalleled Service – Get the customer support you deserve from your supplier

To see plans available in your area and switch today, enter your ZIP Code above.
