All About UtilityProviders.com

What does UtilityProviders.com do?

UtilityProviders researches electricity and natural-gas markets, provider offers, utility service areas and related energy services, then organizes that information so visitors can compare their options in one place. Our goal is to make energy shopping easier to understand without presenting ourselves as your utility or existing energy provider.

In many deregulated energy markets, customers may be able to choose the company that supplies the electricity or natural gas they use while the local utility continues to deliver the energy, maintain the lines or pipes, read the meter and respond to outages. UtilityProviders helps explain that difference and gives visitors tools to research providers, plans, service territories and next steps.

We also publish information about business energy, community solar and home solar so households and businesses can review more than one type of energy option from the same website.

No added fees from UtilityProviders — comparison and referral access

UtilityProviders does not add a separate fee to the provider's advertised price simply for using our comparison website. When a visitor chooses to continue with a provider or partner through our site, we may receive referral compensation from that provider or partner. That relationship is explained in our Advertiser Disclosure.

Provider pricing, plan terms, eligibility, utility territory and availability can change by address and over time. For that reason, the final price and enrollment terms should always be confirmed directly with the provider before service is started or switched.

We do not process provider bill payments, manage customer utility accounts, dispatch outage crews, or represent ourselves as an electric or natural-gas utility. If you have a billing, outage or account-service issue with an existing provider, contact that provider or utility directly.

You stay in control of the decision

Our comparison tools are designed to give visitors more context before they choose. Depending on the market, that may include provider names, plan type, term length, rate information, utility territory, renewable options and other plan details.

UtilityProviders does not require you to choose a particular provider. The purpose of the site is to help you understand the market, compare available information and decide which next step makes sense for your home or business.
