Learn Why EnergyPricing.com is Better than PA PowerSwitch in 2023!
When it comes to shopping for electricity rates in 2023, there is an abundance of options in Pennsylvania to choose from. Luckily for you, If you were to do a quick Google search, you would come across the two most popular choices: PaPowerswitch.com and EnergyPricing.com. This article will serve as your ultimate guide to understanding PAPower Switch.com and why EnergyPricing.com is the better solution for you in 2023. Ready to dive in? Let's get started!
Short Summary
- PaPowerSwitch is a website created by the PA PUC.
- Discover the drawbacks of the current PA PowerSwitch website, like the lack of a dedicated customer service team to assist with any questions you may have.
- Learn some factors to consider when picking an electric supplier.
Understanding PAPowerSwitch.com
Following the introduction of PA Energy Choice in 1996, the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission (PA PUC) established PaPowerSwitch.com, a website that helps customers compare electricity options. Since then, licensed electricity suppliers have been able to publish their plans on this official website, allowing customers to enroll. Although a state-run shopping website for electric suppliers may initially appear promising, it does have several limitations. As you will discover, PaPowerswitch was designed to be a simple rate board for suppliers to publish rates, which may not be the most suitable solution in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape.
The Limitations of PaPowerSwitch
Although PaPowerSwitch can be a valuable resource for some electricity customers, it does have its limitations. For instance, it functions primarily as a simple rate board, allowing any licensed electricity supplier to publish their rates, regardless of their reputation. Additionally, it lacks the capability to provide customized rates and services to customers who require a deeper understanding or more sophisticated products. Below are all of the limitations we have encountered with PaPowerSwitch.
Simple Rate Board
By its design, Pa PowerSwitch is a simple online rate board where any licensed electricity supplier can publish their rates, regardless of their reputation, customer service complaints, PUC violations, or BBB rating. EnergyPricing.com, on the other hand, takes a different approach by featuring only trustworthy electricity suppliers offering the best plans in the market. We carefully evaluate all our suppliers and plans, considering factors like their customer service, company size, and contract quality. Our rigorous selection process ensures that we only offer suppliers and plans that we would personally recommend to our own family and friends.
No Dedicated Customer Service
One major disadvantage of using PaPowerswitch.com is the lack of a dedicated customer service team. Unlike EnergyPricing.com, PaPowerswitch.com doesn't offer personalized support to answer all your energy-related questions or to assist with your needs. This means you're essentially left to navigate the complex energy market on your own. On the other hand, EnergyPricing.com has a dedicated team of energy advisors who can answer all your questions, guide you through the process, and help you make the most informed decisions.
Lack of Technology
As mentioned earlier, Pa Power Switch is merely just a rate board for electricity providers to publish their rates online. At EnergyPricing.com, we see how technology will significantly change the energy industry, so we have invested heavily in developing our cutting-edge proprietary technology. From keeping you informed about important milestones of your electricity contract, like switch notices and renewal reminders, to offering you an online platform where you can watch suppliers bid on your accounts in real-time, our technology will enable you to be confident that you are making the best possible choice for your energy, at the right time!
How to Use EnergyPricing.com
Now that have a good understanding of how EnergyPricing.com differs from Pa PowerSwitch, let's discuss how you can get started with shopping rates online with our easy-to-use interface. All you need to do is follow the three steps below. That is how easy EnergyPricing.com is to use!

Electric Utility Companies Where We Offer Pricing
At EnergyPricing.com, we recognize that not every supplier is equally competitive across all electricity utilities. That's why we have dedicated time to conduct research and establish partnerships with the leading suppliers in each market. This ensures that we can provide the most competitive rates for every utility company. Currently, we offer pricing options for the following electric utility companies in Pennsylvania:
Who Are The Top Suppliers
Finding the top suppliers can be difficult as it's hard to distinguish the truly outstanding ones. Luckily, the U.S. Energy Information Administration has published a useful report that ranks suppliers based on customer count. According to this report, the top 10 suppliers in PA are:
- Reliant Energy Northeast LLC- 165,493 customers
- Constellation NewEnergy, Inc - 138,690 customers
- Energy Harbor Corp.- 101,334 customers
- AEP Energy- 71,776 customers
- Inspire Energy Holdings, LLC- 69,483 customers
- Interstate Gas Supply, Inc.- 63,297 customers
- Stream Energy Pennsylvania, LLC - 60,752 customers
- Direct Energy Services- 55,288 customers
- CleanChoice Energy, Inc. - 53,347 customers
- Dynegy Energy Services, LLC - 47,352 customers
Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), 2021 Utility Bundled Sales to Ultimate Customers- Total
Please note that other options are available besides the big names I mentioned above. In fact, some of the lowest rates historically come from new and upcoming suppliers who are willing to undercut the established players to gain market share. Rest assured that at EnergyPricing.com, we’ve done the homework for you and only work with reputable suppliers.
Factors to Consider When Picking an Electric Supplier
If you're feeling lost and unsure about selecting a third-party supplier on our website, rest assured that you're not alone. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to determine where to begin. To help you narrow down your list of suppliers, here are some factors we suggest considering.
- Price - When it comes to choosing an electric supplier, price is definitely a top consideration. However, before you make a quick decision, solely based on price, we recommend you look at all the other factors too.
- Read Customer Reviews - To get a sense of a company’s customer service, check out their customer reviews on Google. What are other customers saying about the service they’re getting? Keep an eye out 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 larger 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. Make sure you read the entire contract carefully before committing yourself to any provider.
Different Types of Electricity Plans We Offer
As you browse for electricity rates on our website, you'll discover a range of plans designed to match your risk tolerance. We offer fixed-rate plans for stability and consistent pricing, as well as variable-rate plans for flexibility and potential savings during specific months. Here are some of the commonly available electricity plans found on our website.
Fixed-Rates Plans
Fixed-rate energy plans offer one set rate per kilowatt-hour for the entire contract period, providing stability and predictability for your energy costs. A fixed-rate electricity plan is ideal for most residential and commercial customers in Pennsylvania, 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 on their electricity bills, 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).
