How Contract Tracking Works
We don't just remind you once. We make forgetting impossible.
We Track Your Contract
When you sign up, we record your plan details—provider, rate, term length, expiration date.
Continuous Monitoring
We watch the market and your contract. When rates shift or your expiration approaches, we notice.

Why 14 days minimum? Texas switch requests take 3-7 days to process. Shopping in the last week is cutting it close. We give you comfortable margin.
Contract Myths vsReality
What they want you to believe vs. what's actually true.
Renewal notices come with plenty of time
Texas law requires 30 days. Most send it on day 30. Many go to spam.
"Month-to-month is flexible"
Month-to-month rates are 50-100% higher than fixed plans. Flexibility costs.
"We'll remind you"
They profit from your forgetfulness. We profit from your savings.
Early termination fees are unfair
Sometimes. But rolling into a 16c rate costs more than the $150 ETF.
"Renewal rates are competitive"
Renewal rates are almost always 30-60% higher than new customer rates.
Should You Break Your Contract Early?
Sometimes the math says yes. Here's how to think about it.
Usually Don't Break If:
- - Less than 2c/kWh difference from market rates
- - Only 2-3 months left on contract
- - ETF is $200+ and you use <1,000 kWh/month
- - Market rates are volatile (summer peaks)
Consider Breaking If:
- 4c+ difference from market rates
- 6+ months left at a bad rate
- High usage (>1,500 kWh) amplifies savings
- ETF is capped at $150 or less
Real Math Example
Your Situation:
- Current rate: 14.2c/kWh
- Best market rate: 9.8c/kWh
- Months remaining: 8
- Monthly usage: 1,400 kWh
- ETF: $150
The Math:
- Rate difference: 4.4c/kWh
- Monthly savings: $61.60
- 8-month savings: $492.80
- Minus ETF: -$150
- Net savings: $342.80
We do this math automatically in your dashboard. No calculator needed.
Questions About Contract Tracking
How do you know when my contract expires?
When you sign up through us, we track it automatically. If you signed up elsewhere, you can add your contract details in the Members Portal, or we can pull it from your meter data once you connect Live Link—most plans show up in usage patterns.
What if I want to break my contract early?
Sometimes it makes sense. If your current rate is 14c and market rates are 9c, a $150 ETF pays for itself in 4-5 months. We do the math for you—if breaking early saves money overall, we'll tell you.
Can I set up auto-renewal to a good plan?
Not exactly—Texas doesn't allow true auto-switching between providers. But we can alert you so far in advance (60 days) that shopping takes 5 minutes and you never risk rolling over.
What happens if I miss my contract expiration?
You typically roll to month-to-month rates, which are significantly higher (often 15-20c/kWh vs 10-11c for fixed). Some providers lock you into a new contract automatically. Either way, it costs you money. Don't let it happen.
Do you track contracts from any provider?
Yes—all REPs in Texas. Whether you signed up through us or elsewhere, we can track it. The only difference is if you didn't sign up through us, you'll need to enter the details manually.
What if market rates are worse than my renewal?
Rare, but it happens (usually during market spikes). If your renewal rate is actually competitive, we'll tell you that too. We're not trying to switch you just to switch you.
When Does YOUR Contract Expire?
If you have to think about it, you're already at risk. Let us track it so you don't have to.
