Maximizing the value you get from your power supplier is financially smart. After all, if you’re already paying for something, why wouldn’t you take advantage of it?
Today’s electricity providers offer more than just electricity. Take a look at some of the extra benefits you may not know you have access to.
What perks would a power supplier offer?
Texas has a deregulated energy market. That means a power supplier must now compete to earn your business. To do so, they need to stand out from the crowd. So, electricity providers often give customers extras that could be of value.
Here are just a few things you may be missing out on:
Apps
Many power companies have mobile apps. And they do far more than just let you pay your bill. They can also save you time, display your usage, and help you become more energy efficient.
Referral rewards
Does your power supplier have a referral program? If so, you could receive bill credits just for helping friends and family sign up. Reliant Energy is one power company with this type of reward program.
Other bill credits and discounts
Some electricity providers offer bill credits for opting into paperless billing, autopay, energy conservation programs and other services or programs.
Energy efficient gadgets
You may be able to receive a discount on energy-efficient tools from smart thermostats to backup power solutions and more. Some gadgets even come free when you enroll in a specific energy plan.
Sustainability opportunities
From solar assessments to carbon offsets, green energy suppliers may provide valuable ways to help you live greener.
Solar rebates
You may be a customer of a power supplier that offers third-party solar panel installation. Check to see if the provider offers any exclusive rebates. Some do, in addition to any federal and local solar incentives.
How do I find out if my power supplier offers these extra benefits?
Where can you find these benefits? Look over your provider’s website. Check the navigation menu for links to products, services and offers. You may have missed these benefits when you first enrolled.
