I have been with Yusef and his company, Group Rate Electricity, for about 10 years now. Yusef is always on top of the market looking for THE provider with the best current rate. And getting me signed up with said company. And keeping me fully informed along the way. The contracts are always short term. 3-6 months maximum so that we are able to take advantage of fluctuations in the rates. And yes while this is something a person COULD do themselves, hardly anyone ever actually takes the time to do so. For me, the convenience of having Yusef do it for me is WELL worth it! I definitely recommend using Group Rate Electricity for this service. And also my monthly bill, on average, is about 50% lower than what I would have been paying if I stayed with TXU these past 10 years!
