Why Voltcheckr

Not a listing site. We do the math for you.

We Catch the Traps

Bill credits that only apply between 999 and 1,001 kWh. Minimum usage fees. Early termination penalties. Teaser rates that jump after month three. We flag them in plain English before they hit your wallet.

Priced to Your Actual Usage

Upload your bill and we read your real kWh. We rank plans against what your home actually uses, not the catalog rate priced for a hypothetical 1,000 kWh home.

Plain-English Plan Cards

Every plan shows the total average price at 500, 1,000, and 2,000 kWh with the supplier (REP) offering it clearly labeled. Those three tiers are the ones the PUCT requires so residential plans can be compared apples to apples.

Same wires. Same outage response.

Your local utility still owns the lines, fixes the outages, and reads your meter. Switching suppliers changes the name on your bill, not your service.

Plan basics

What you're choosing.

Fixed rate

Best for most homes

Locks your kWh price for the whole contract. No surprises if the market jumps.

Variable rate

Short stints only

Moves with the wholesale market. Useful when prices are dropping, risky if you stop watching.

Most fixed plans run 6, 12, 24, or 36 months. Longer term means more rate stability and less flexibility.

Your bill, no jargon

How to read your bill.

Four things to look at before you upload it.

1

kWh used

How much electricity your home used last month. Like miles on a car.

2

Average rate

Your bill divided by kWh used. This is the number we shop.

3

Contract end date

The day you can switch without a fee. Usually near the top of the bill.

4

Supply vs delivery

Supply is the energy itself, and we can lower it. Delivery is the wires, and nobody can change it.

Your privacy is our priority.

Your bill is used only to prepare your quote. We never sell your data.

How we get paid: Suppliers pay us a referral commission when you switch through Voltcheckr. You never pay us directly, and suppliers cannot buy better placement in our rankings.
