Now—before air conditioning season begins—is the perfect time to switch to an all-renewable source for your electricity. Rates tend to be lowest in early spring, so take this opportunity to lock in a good price for the next 12 months. Electricity supplied by distribution companies (like Duquesne Light) is produced with a hefty contribution from burning fossil fuels (natural gas, coal), which releases greenhouse gases and contributes to climate change.
Multiple companies offer plans that let you choose renewable sources. And switching is easy at PAPowerSwitch.com! Once you decide on a supplier, they will contact your utility company and initiate the change. Here are some tips:
- Look for 12-month, fixed-price contracts instead of variable-price rates
- Mark your calendar to renew your contract at a favorable rate in a year
