The best deal on our marketplace for the highest usage tier, 2,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh), is the Power Maxx Saver plan from 4Change Energy.
Energy plans in deregulated markets are priced for specific usage tiers: 500, 1,000, or 2,000 kWh. Larger homes tend to use more energy; knowing which tier your home falls into helps you shop for plans that match your needs.
The Power Maxx Saver is a fixed-rate power plan with a $100 bill credit each month you use at least 2,000 kWh of electricity. This plan is best for shoppers who regularly use above 2,000 kWh and can commit to a one- or two-year contract length.

Large homes typically have higher energy usage because they require more power to run their HVAC and other appliances. But square footage isn’t the only factor — small and mid-sized homes can also run up a high bill due to the number of occupants, the age of the home, or additional features like pools, home offices, and EV chargers.
Here’s how electricity usage typically increases with home size, according to our recent marketplace data. You can use this information to estimate your home’s typical usage or check several of your previous energy bills. Read our full breakdown on the average electricity usage based on home size for more information.
Home size |
Square footage (sq. ft.) |
Average monthly usage (kWh) |
| Mid-size home | 1,500-2,500 | 1,177 kWh |
| Large home | 2,500-4,000 sq. ft. | 1,503 kWh |
| Large home with complex needs | 4,000 sq. ft. | 2,029 kWh |

Bill credits can help high-usage customers lower their energy bills. Plans with usage credits apply a monthly discount to your bill, usually $50-$150, if you satisfy the usage requirements. It’s important to note that the only way to claim this benefit is to meet the usage threshold every month. If not, you may be on the hook for a much higher energy bill than expected.
If you use more than 2,000 kWh per month, search for a bill credit plan that rewards that tier. Carefully read the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) to confirm a plan’s bill credit amount and criteria.
Expert tip: Not all large homes consistently have over 2,000 kWh of usage. If your usage varies some months, find a bill credit plan with a lower usage minimum so you don’t miss the discount on lighter months.
