How GridSaver Works

Nightly rate monitoring and instant alerts — you switch when you're ready and keep 100% of the savings.

The full pipeline, explained

1

You sign up in 2 minutes

Tell us your ZIP code, average monthly bill, and preferences (renewable, fixed-rate, no cancellation fees). We use this to filter out plans that don't fit you and only surface the ones that do.

What we need: ZIP code, state, average monthly usage, your preferences. That's it — no account numbers required upfront.
2

We scan the market for you — every night

Every night, our smart technology queries every registered retail electricity supplier in your state, plus public data sources like the EIA, PowerToChoose (TX), and OpenEI. We collect hundreds of rate plans simultaneously and compare them against your current rate.

We analyze every plan against your current rate

Our platform compares every plan on total cost of ownership — not just the headline rate. It factors in monthly fees, cancellation fees, contract terms, supplier reliability scores, and your actual usage pattern.

What we check for every plan:

Supply rate (cents/kWh)
Distribution/delivery charges
Fixed monthly service fees
Cancellation fees (current + new plan)
Contract length vs. your preference
Supplier customer satisfaction rating
Renewable energy content

We alert you instantly when a better rate is found

If we find a plan that saves you at least $5/month compared to your current rate, you get an email immediately. The alert includes everything you need to make an informed decision — and a direct link to sign up.

Each alert includes:

Supplier name and new rate (¢/kWh)
Your current rate for comparison
Projected monthly and annual savings
A direct link to the supplier's enrollment page
Plan details (contract length, renewable %, fees)

Example alert you'd receive:

"Hi Alice — great news! We found a better electricity rate for you. Spark Energy is offering 9.5¢/kWh vs. your current 11.8¢/kWh with Direct Energy. Switching would save you approximately $28/month ($336/year) and you keep all of it. Ready to switch? Click here to enroll with Spark Energy → You're in full control — switch now or ignore this alert if the timing isn't right."

You have full control. Switch on your own terms, or simply ignore the alert if it's not the right time — we'll keep watching.

You switch — we handle the referral

When you're ready to switch, click the link in your alert email. It takes you directly to the supplier's enrollment page — no hunting around, no confusion. The switch process takes about 5–10 minutes on the supplier's website, and your electricity never turns off.

What happens when you click the link:

1

You land directly on the supplier's enrollment page, pre-linked through GridSaver's referral.

2

You complete the 5–10 minute sign-up on the supplier's site. The supplier pays GridSaver a referral fee — at no cost to you.

3

The supplier notifies your local utility. The switch is processed during your next billing cycle.

Important: Switching suppliers only changes who generates your electricity — not how it's delivered. The power lines, your local utility's emergency services, and your physical supply remain completely unchanged.
6

You save — you keep it all

Your new lower rate appears on your next electricity bill. You keep 100% of what you save — we never take a cut. GridSaver earns a referral fee paid by the supplier, not from your savings.

How GridSaver earns: A flat $4.99/month subscription from you, plus a referral fee from the supplier when you switch. The referral fee is built into the supplier's customer acquisition budget — it does not increase the rate you pay.

Continuous monitoring — not a one-off scan

Unlike services that only check once a month, GridSaver monitors the market every single night. Energy rates can change at any time — a supplier can drop their rate on a Tuesday, and you'll know by Wednesday morning.

Nightly scans

We check every supplier in your area every night, not just once a billing cycle.

Instant alerts

When a rate crosses the $5/month savings threshold, you get an email that same morning.

You stay protected

We track your current plan so we always compare against your real rate — not a guess.
