Types of Friendswood electric plans

Our marketplace offers several different energy options in Friendswood, including fixed-rate, variable-rate, and no-deposit plans. Here’s how each plan works:

• Fixed-rate plans: A fixed-rate plan makes it easy to budget since your energy rate remains the same for the duration of your contract. Most plans last for one, two, or three years. Keep in mind that if you want to switch providers before your contract is over, you may be subject to an early cancellation fee — unless you’re moving. There’s also a chance that your rate may increase at the end of your contract.
• Variable-rate plans: If you need more flexibility to change plans, consider a variable-rate plan. Your rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh) can vary each month based on the current energy market. You can search for lower plans and switch as needed. Keep in mind that you may have spikes in your energy bills if there’s an increase in the energy market, making it harder to budget.
• No-deposit plans: Some suppliers run credit checks as part of the ordering process. If you have a lower credit score, they might require a deposit before activating. With a no-deposit plan, you can avoid undergoing a credit check beforehand, allowing you to begin your electricity service without a deposit.
