FAQ

How much does Energy Ogre cost?

Energy Ogre is a membership service that collects a small monthly fee. The membership fee for Energy Ogre is separate from your electricity bill and is drafted automatically from the card you placed on file.

Can't I select an electricity rate on my own? Why do I need Energy Ogre?

Sure, if you live in a deregulated area, you can choose your own electricity plan. You can also change your own oil, but do you really want to do that? Shopping for electricity is complicated.

Most plans have hidden fees and variable rate structures that make the actual cost difficult to calculate and usually much higher than the advertised rate. We read the fine print, find all of the fees, and do all of the math for you. Additionally, we have access to custom, below-market rates only available to our members. Energy Ogre ensures you are always in the right plan while saving you both time and money.

Can you guarantee I'll save money?

Energy Ogre saves you time and money, however it may not always happen simultaneously in some cases. We can guarantee that the rate plan we'll put you in will have been the best rate available during the time of selection, with no hidden fees or surprises.

Do the savings cover the cost of the Energy Ogre membership fees?

On average, our members see up to 40% savings with their initial switch, which is most often more than the membership fee. Your exact savings will depend on the terms of your current plan. Going forward, we can guarantee that you will always be in the lowest rate available for your usage, so you'll never be overpaying for your electricity. And we'll be managing all aspects of your account for you, as well. We believe that is definitely worth the cost of membership.
