Questions & Answers

Get answers about switching electricity suppliers, saving money on your electric bill, and how our automated service works.

Understanding How We Work

How does ElectricRates.org work?

ElectricRates.org connects you to Smart Enroll, enabled by PowerKiosk. You authorize once (LOA), we place you on a competitive supplier rate when it beats your utility's 12‑month price to compare, and we manage renewals under clear rules.

Do you always show rates?

Not always. In Ohio we may show estimated savings and a guided "best rate" flow. If supplier offers don't beat the utility's 12‑month average, we won't show plans and we'll keep monitoring.

How do you decide to renew or switch?

We switch only if the new rate beats the utility's 12‑month price to compare and your current supplier's renewal is uncompetitive (generally 35%+ above the lowest available). Otherwise we renew with the current supplier. If no competitive option exists, you stay on the utility default rate.

What if my utility rate is already best?

You stay on your utility's default rate. We continue daily monitoring and notify you when supplier rates become genuinely competitive.

How do you calculate savings?

Savings are based on your utility's 12‑month average price to compare minus the supplier rate, multiplied by your usage. We don't use single‑month snapshots.

Why continuous monitoring?

Contracts expire on fixed dates and markets move. We track expiration, compare daily to the utility 12‑month average and market rates, and act under your LOA when criteria are met.

Getting Started

How do I get started?

Enter your ZIP. If eligible, complete Smart Enroll in about 2 minutes with your electric utility account number.

What information is required?

Your electric utility account number, basic contact info, and authorization (LOA). Usage helps estimate savings.

How long does the first switch take?

Typically effective at your next meter read; timing varies by utility and supplier.

Will my power be interrupted?

No. Your utility continues delivery. Only the supply rate and supplier change.

Service Provider

Who operates Smart Enroll?

PowerKiosk (EnrollPower) is the broker of record and manages enrollment, monitoring, and switching.

Costs & Savings

How much does it cost?

Free to you. Brokers are paid by suppliers. No setup or monthly fees.

How much can I save?

Varies by market and usage. We present savings against the utility's 12‑month average when competitive offers exist.

Are there fees or contracts I should know about?

Supplier terms vary. We avoid uncompetitive offers. Review the supplier's EFL/terms at Smart Enroll before confirming.

Safety & Security

Is this legitimate and safe?

PowerKiosk operates as the broker of record and uses standard security practices. Terms and LOA are presented during Smart Enroll.

For Current Customers

What if I'm already with a supplier?

We check your rate against the utility's 12‑month average and market alternatives. If there's genuine savings, we'll recommend a switch; otherwise we monitor.

Can I cancel?

Yes. You can revoke the LOA at any time via PowerKiosk support, which stops future managed switches. Current supplier terms still apply. To cancel email support@enrollpower.com

How often will you switch me?

Only when criteria are met. Many customers see 0–2 switches per year; some periods will favor staying with the utility or renewing with the current supplier.

Special Situations

I'm moving and don't have an account number. What now?

Start service with your local electric utility to get an account number, then complete Smart Enroll. If you already have service, find the account number on your bill or online account.
