Don’t Just Go With Big Brand Name But Find a Cheap Rate With a Good Company
When signing up with a Houston electricity provider you likely heard a radio ad or saw a billboard with what appeared to be low price for electricity service. Some Houston electricity providers will show one rate on their main page of their website or on a billboard but when you receive your first months electricity bill you find that your rate is a few cents higher. What has happened here? Did the Houston electricity provider lie to you about their energy service price? When you call the Houston electricity provider they will tell you that no they did not lie to you but in fact you will find that if your read the small fine print in the contract that under “Pricing” in the “Terms of Service” section there is a clause that says TDSP charges will be a separate charge past through and added on to the energy price they advertised to you. The Houston electricity provider will likely explain that they have no idea what the TDSP charges will be for your residential electric service because they are not the TDSP company but only pass through those charges on your electricity bill.
Unbundled Electricity Prices in Houston, Why is This Wrong?
The problem with the scenario above is that most all residential electricity prices in Houston will have a clear price from the electric provider that shows all fees and charges in the bundled rate including the TDSP charges. If other Houston electricity providers bundle in the TDSP charges why are there still a few energy companies that sell residential electric service in an unbundled advertised rate? There are a small few Houston electricity providers that simply leave the TDSP charges off of any of their up front ads like a billboard, google ad, Yahoo ad, or website published rate. These electricity companies show you a partial rate because they know you will not read the fine print of the energy contract or call the provider to determine what the cost of the additional TDSP pass through will be.
Why Do Some Houston Electricity Companies Defend The Unbundled Pricing Practice?
Is it really honest to deviate from the norm and advertise an unbundled electricity price when all your competitors advertise a bundled fixed electricity price that includes the TDSP charges? The providers that operate in this manner have trained the grunt level call center staff to argue that it is fair because they are not the TDSP company. We do not argue that the electricity provider in Houston is the Transmission and Distribution Service Provider as that company is Centerpoint Energy. We argue that the Houston electricity Company has knowledge of what the TDSP charges are on average and could easily bundle that into the electricity rate like all their competitors do to give a complete description of their Houston electricity price to all customers who come to their website.
