Let us help you understand how the three best one in MetEd Easton stack up.<\/em><\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Who has the Best 12 Month Rate in MetEd Easton?<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking it may be time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/blog\/2017\/12\/31\/switch-pa-electric-suppliers\/\">switch your electricity supplier in MetEd Easton, PA<\/a> the options seem endless. But if you want more bang for your buck, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\">PA Energy Ratings.com<\/a> can make things a little easier. We\u2018ve found three different plans that are the cheapest in the area\u2013 but are they really so different? Take a dive and take a look at them with us and see if one works for you!<\/p>\n<h2>What kind of MetEd Easton electricity plans?<\/h2>\n<p>We compared three plans: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/plans\/direct-energy\/details\/live-brighter-12\">Direct Energy\u2019s Live Brighter 12<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/plans\/nextera-energy-services\/details\/nextera-saver-12\">Next Era Saver 12<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/companies\/north-american-power\">North American\u2019s 12-Month Fixed<\/a>. Right off the bat, these plans share these similarities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>None offer any major or minor incentives.<\/li>\n<li>None are marked as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/electricity-rates\/green\/easton\">green power plans<\/a>\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>All offer free online access and bill pay for your account.<\/li>\n<li>All offer paperless billing.<\/li>\n<li>All are fixed rate plans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While going with a fixed rate plan may look more expensive than a variable rate plan, but it can save you money in the long run. While a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/blog\/2018\/02\/27\/bomb-cyclone-electric-bill-bomb-wallet\/\">variable rate plan<\/a> may have a good introductory rate, that rate changes monthly depending on the wholesale price of electricity \u2014 and that often can cost you much more.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the electricity plan prices?<\/h3>\n<p>Like everything, it comes down to price and customer satisfaction:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Direct Energy <\/strong>seems to have the highest customer satisfaction. Its <strong>Live Brighter 12<\/strong> plan costs the most at 7cents per kWh but doesn\u2019t have a cancellation fee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>North American Power<\/strong> has low rate of 6.6cents per kWh and decent reviews. However, they charge a $10\/month cancellation fee instead just one big fee covering the entire length of the contract.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Next Era<\/strong>\u2019s plan costs only 6.5cents per kWh, a similar $10\/month cancellation fee, but they don\u2019t have any customer reviews on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/read-reviews\">com<\/a> yet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep in mind that all three plans feature prices that are very competitive since some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paenergyratings.com\/electricity-rates\/pennsylvania\/easton\">electricity prices in Easton<\/a> can go up to 8 cents per kWh depending on the plan.<\/p>\n<p>Now a measly tenth of a cent may not seem like a huge amount of savings in the first month, but let\u2019s look at it over the course of a year. The average home in Easton uses about 837 kWh per month. If we set aside the distribution charges, a month\u2019s usage breaks down this way:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>With <strong>Direct Energy<\/strong>, you would spend about $58 per month.<\/li>\n<li>With <strong>North American Power, <\/strong> the average cost is a little less at $55 per month<\/li>\n<li>Lastly with <strong>Next Era\u2019s<\/strong> plan, you would spend about $54 per month.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Looking out towards a year, these differences get steeper.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Direct Energy = <\/strong>$703\/ year.<\/li>\n<li><strong>North American Power<\/strong> = $662\/ year.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Next Era= <\/strong>$652\/year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have to worry about a fixed income, you\u2019ll want to be sure that you can save as much money as you can by choosing the plan that best fits your needs.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, too, that those 8 cents per kWh plans can have you paying upwards of $800\/year! That\u2019s a $40\u2013$50 difference over the course of the year that could be put towards savings, a special purchase, or other needs.
