Factors to Consider When Shopping Energy Companies in Erie
If you're feeling uncertain about how to compare energy companies in Erie, there's no need to worry! With a wide range of options available, it can be overwhelming to determine where to begin. When searching for energy providers in Erie, we suggest considering the following factors listed below.
- Price - When it comes to choosing an electric provider, price is definitely a top consideration. But don't be fooled by a promotional energy plan that may seem like a great deal at first glance. That's why it's crucial when you are making a true apples-to-apples comparison that you consider not only the initial price but also any potential hidden fees or rate changes down the line.
- Read Customer Reviews - To understand a company’s customer service, check out their reviews on Google. What are other customers saying about the service they’re getting? Look for red flags like poor communication, unresponsive customer service, and billing issues.
- Company Size - It’s also worth checking how many customers a company has. This could be an indication of their size and stability. A more significant customer base can mean more resources and better infrastructure to handle customer demands.
- How long have they been in Business? - Researching the history of a company can help you form an opinion on how reliable and trustworthy they are. You can find this information on their website or by reading reviews online. A company with a long history of providing reliable service is a good sign that they’re here to stay.
- Lastly, read the Contract - Don’t just quickly sign the electricity contract and hope for the best. Read the entire agreement carefully before committing yourself to any provider.

Types of Electricity Plans in Erie
When searching for electric rates, you'll come across different plans tailored to suit your risk preference. These include fixed-rate plans that provide stability and predictable pricing, as well as variable-rate plans that offer flexibility and potential savings in specific months. Here are some of the commonly available electricity plans in the market.
Fixed-Rates Plans
Fixed-rate plans offer one set rate per kilowatt-hour for the entire contract period, providing stability and predictability for your energy costs. A fixed-rate plan is ideal for most residential and commercial customers as it eliminates surprises on your monthly bill and allows you to budget accordingly.
However, keep in mind that fixed-rate plans often switch to variable-rate plans at the end of the contract term, so be prepared for potential rate changes in the future.
Variable-Rate Plans
Variable-rate energy plans offer a fluctuating rate per kilowatt-hour based on market conditions, such as weather and volatility. While this type of plan typically offers flexibility in allowing you to switch plans without any additional fees, it also comes with the risk of extreme weather events causing a sudden spike in your energy rate.
100% Green Energy Plans
If you're someone who cares about the environment and doesn't mind paying a little more for renewable electricity, then a 100% Green Energy Plan could be the perfect choice for you. However, it's important to note the electricity flowing through your power lines won’t typically come from renewable energy sources.
Instead, with these renewable energy plans, most energy providers simply offset your energy usage by purchasing Renewable Energy Credits (RECs). These RECs reflect the generation of renewable energy from sources like solar or wind, and they're a great way to ensure that renewable energy projects offset your energy consumption.
Promotional Energy Plans
Most electricity consumers are always looking for ways to save money on their energy bills, which is why promotional energy plans have become a popular choice. These plans come in many different forms, from unlimited electricity to lower-rate plans with built-in monthly fees.
However, customers should approach these plans with caution. While they may look appealing, it’s essential to analyze your average monthly electric bill to determine if the plan will actually save you money. Unfortunately, many of these promotional energy plans are more expensive than traditional fixed-rate plans.
Electric Company in Erie
Penelec and Duquesne Light are the electric utility companies in Erie that provide local electric services. They are responsible for the maintenance of power lines and the delivery of electricity to residences and businesses. If you encounter any power outages, please contact your local electric utility company instead of your electric supplier.
Tips for Lowering Your Electric Bill in Erie
To lower your electric bill, you have a range of effective strategies at your disposal. By implementing energy-efficient practices and shopping for better rates, you can substantially reduce your monthly expenses. Here are some tips to empower you to save energy and money on your upcoming electric bill.
Shop for Better Rates
Energy Efficiency Measures
To reduce your energy bill, consider investing in energy-efficient measures. Choose LED light bulbs, Energy Star-certified appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, and dishwashers, and opt for programmable thermostats. These choices will not only save you money but also contribute to a greener and more sustainable future. Make a smart choice for your wallet and the planet!
Smart Usage Habits
Commercial Electric Rates in Erie
Erie businesses and organizations can access the same electricity supplier options as residential customers. Numerous energy suppliers provide customized energy plans specifically designed for commercial customers.
