How Safe-Rate™ Helps You Shop

Safe-Rate™ - What is it?

Safe-Rate™ is our proprietary tool for helping you select a plan that delivers on it's promises.

A lot of plans flash a low rate, but there are bill credits and monthly recurring charges that apply, and you might never see a rate as low as what was advertised.

With Safe-Rate™, you can know if the plan you're considering is really going to be 'what you see is what you get'

Safe-Rate™ scores range from 1-10, with 10 being better. A high score means that the advertised rate is close to what you will see on your bill from month to month. A lower score means that the average rate on your bill will differ from the rate you see advertised. The lower the score, the more the rate can drift, and the higher likelyhood that you'll get a surprise when you open your bill.

Does a low Safe-Rate™ score mean the plan is bad?

Not necessarily. If you understand your monthly usage very well, and can stay in the range of usage where the plan offers a lower rate, then that plan could be a reasonable choice.

Will a high Safe-Rate™ score mean I'll save money?

What a high Safe-Rate™ score indicates is that you can expect to have an average rate that is very close to the advertised rate. If you use a little more energy, your bill will be a little higher, but your per kWh rate won't change drastically.
