I wish they didn't complicate this like that.

One thing I seem to be seeing here is this. The LESS electricity you try to use to save money on your bill, the higher rate you pay per kWh. Your rate actually decreases if you use MORE electricity. Now, that does not make any sense to me given that the earth is not a bottom pit of energy.

Thank you very much!!!!

Thank you. very helpful

Hi Mr Lee, how can Communicate with you in order for you to check my bill. If you can give me a phone number or someplace to call that would be great. Thanks.

This company is terrible. Customer service is like each morning they go find day laborers to sit behind the phones. One CSR had parakeets so close to the phone I couldn’t hear what they were saying. If you want to set up global call centers at least train the employees in service and etiquette!

Reliant is a scam co

Best explanation video on RUclips. Thank you!!

This is amazing. Please do one with the credit. I found a plan with 100.00 credit for over 1000kwh. We definitely do that each month. And price is 16 cents kWh. How to calculate it. Still seems like a good plan even at 16 cents with the 100.00 credit. Please advise! Thank you!

Thanks for explaining. Now I’m too scared to switch

You didnt explain the kwh @ 500 @1000 @2000 etc. If i go below or above the plan am i getting charge less or more

Thank you. I'm currently have a 3 year plan at 10.5kwh that is set to expire next year. I noticed that the same plan now is 13.3kwh and wanted to calculate what the increase would look like. Thank you 👍

why is there a separate line item for delivery charge if has already been accounted for when calculating the charge per kwh? shouldn't that already be included?

Thanks for sharing this video. It was so confusing to understand and compare the plans as shown on the website. With this information, I now know where to look for the details. 👍 I'm now looking for an energy consumption calculator which can simulate and provide a typical energy consumption number for a household. 😄

Pumpkin and bananas are both fruits

I am one of those people who thought the 9.5 kWh rate is what I would pay for every kWh used. No one has ever explained this to me. I still feel slightly confused, but I have a much better overall understanding of it now. Question: Why should those two "base rates" be different from one company to the next? I had two stunning bills recently. One for $268, so I lowered my thermostat from 74 F to 59 F for the next month and STLL had the next bill come in at $221. I was appalled. I was uncomfortably cold day and night for that second month, and all I saved was $45. Turned out I actually paid more per kWh at 59 F than I did at 74 F. I still cannot wrap my head around it. One thing is certain, my bill with all electric is now almost 3X as much as my combined bills for gas and electric used to be, and I cannot afford an electric bill anywhere near these amounts. A friend told me one factor affecting my bill is that the cost to operate an electric furnace is much higher than the cost to operate a gas furnace. I do not see why that should be so, either.

Thank you for trying to make it easy to understand, but I'm still confused and not understanding it how to choose a better company other then Direct Energy 🥺

< 1/3 what I pay in Connecticut, so you shouldn’t sweat the details.

As a florida girl moving to the Lone Star state...thank you. Everything is monopolized here, so whatever energy company "owns" that territory is the one who takes your money, lol

Gracias ☺️ esta bien claro!

6 yrs ago… the electricity rate was nothing compared to now…. Wow

🌱 Unfortunately, this electric plan provider no longer exists.

So really all I need to know is (energy/kWh) + (delivery/kwr) x KWH That I use and bam that’s roughly my bill minus the fixed charges like base and the other delivery charge ?

I believe you are wrong. I believe that no matter the plan they charge you a certain rate for the first 1000, then a different rate for next 1000 and then a different rate for over 2 and they are all added together to get your average rate.

Why would anyone pick an electric company and pay a monthly base charge when their rates are not lower than the rest companies that dont charge one? Tia

Is it possible to have both husband and wife name on electronic bill in your company, please let me know

Thank you so much it was like life saving

hello; so i was calculating the rate between 1351 to 2000 and my result was different of the result you calculated(it was 7,788), however i was calcultating the rate between the diference of 1350 to 2000 and my result was 7,8(7,80) so, in that case what of the operation above have the true result and why?

Thank you for an excellent explanation! Everyone should watch this video before buying electricity services in Texas!

Can't we just look at the kwh the company charges since that is their fixed rate? Wouldn't that ultimately be the lowest price regardless of usage?

This was very helpful. If you see a low energy rate, is that the rate we should really pay attention to instead of the average rates? Also, what are your thoughts on 36 month plans?

That's why all the electric companies are full of shitt.....just give me an exact # at the beginning and cut the bullshit...

I understood all that you covered but I couldn't apply the same formula to calculate for a 1000 kwh for an apartment. I tried but the numbers didn't add up well. Are you able to do a video about choosing plans if searching for either a one or two bedroom apartment ?

Best video explaining energy bills!

Still valid in 2023 -- choosing a electric company for my new place in Texas.

It's not helpful, you didn't explain why there was a difference between the actual average price on the bill and the the price on the EFL

I’ve had ambit energy a couple of months and I’ve come to a dilema regarding a bill I was charged for November for 311$ which is outrageous I live in 1 b apartment with my significant other, I’ve spoken to numerous supervisors who sound mostly muffled or speak their best version of English which was failing to explain to me how me missing a payment arrangement spiked my bill from 173$ to 311$ 🤢🤢🤢🤢

Finally, an explanation of how this works.

It is no longer available would you recommend anything else

Looking at this and looking at the current one. Seeing the prices doubled. Damn

Thank you for explaining!🙏

🗣 Stay away from ambit I repeat stay away from ambit!!!!

I have ambit but itd to much for me

I still do not understand at all

Awesome video! Thank you!

This helped me realize I wasn’t taking advantage of my $50 credit cause I was trying to stay under 500 kWh when I would have gotten $50 off my bill if I just reached 500 kWh 🤦‍♀️

Thank you. Makes a lot more sense to me now.

Thank you. Makes a lot more sense to me now.

can you please explain about the TDU NCP energy charge: 1kva = $3.87 on top of charge per kwh? How does this Kva determine? This is for the commercial btw, some months are high in Kva including the winter months and some other months are low. This Kva does not make sense to me. thank you

Wish I could say this helped but TXU doesn't want to cough up that per kWh charge in the facts label so I still have no idea what my bill would be with them.
