Choosing an electric service provider can be an overwhelming and daunting task. It would be nice if you looked at the cost per kilowatt to determine what you will be paying for your electricity. Unfortunately, there are some other charges that you need to consider to see a complete look at what you will be paying. We have done some research and will be listing some of the most frequently added charges that you should be considering when you sign up with an electric company.
Are you required to pay a deposit?
No matter how you look at it, paying a deposit is money that you once had but no longer have. Many electric service providers require a deposit for new electric service to begin. The electric deposit amount should be considered when you measure the affordability of an electric plan. Pogo Energy is not one of those companies, that’s why we don’t charge a deposit for electric service.
Do electric service providers charge late payment fees?
Most of us do our best to pay our bills on time. Let’s face it, sometimes we get busy and we forget. That’s when we get stuck with late fees. How much an electric company charges when you are a little late paying your bill matters. If you have a $20 late fee on your bill, that is more money going to the electric company and not being spent on other things you want and need. Pogo doesn’t have any late fees.
Cancellation Fees
When you decide to part ways with your current electric service provider, breaking up can cost you. Some electric companies tack on a cancelation fee. This fee is often subtracted from the initial deposit.
Early Termination Fees
The cancellation fee is separate from the early termination fee you pay if you break your electric service contract early.
Most people today don’t think twice about paying extra fees because we assume they are universal, regardless of the company. Pogo Energy is a different kind of electric company. We don’t like fees, so we do our best to charge only what is necessary. Ready for a different kind of electric service provider? We are ready for you to switch to Pogo.
