Often, you get started with a utility, and what seemed like a great deal before you signed the paperwork now looks like a mistake. How can signing up for a utility cost so much and take so long? Austin prepaid electricity provider Pronto Power takes all the fuss and hassle out of connecting a new service with its quick and easy prepaid plan.
The secret behind credit checks
It’s expensive to live in Austin, but Pronto Power can help take the financial sting out of signing up for a utility with its economical prepaid plan. With prepaid electricity, you pay in advance for the service you use, which means your bill is always up to date.
Why is that great news? Because it means Pronto Power never has to run a credit check on its prepaid customers. A credit check determines how much of a risk a customer will be. If the customer occasionally pays bills late, has an outstanding medical expense, or has a low credit score, a higher deposit is needed. The deposit is a guarantee that the utility company has money on hand in case the customer can’t pay on time.
How is prepaid service different?
Prepaid service is different. Instead of one large bill at the end of the billing cycle, prepaid service is paid in advance. You add funds to your account as you go. When your account gets low, simply load more funds. You decide when to pay: once a week, every time your paycheck clears, at 2:00 in the morning on a Saturday—as long as your account has a balance of 1¢ or more, your electricity remains on.
Transparency for the win!
Every morning, you receive a text, email or both letting you know how much remains in your Pronto Power account. You decide whether you’d like to add funds then or at a later time. Because you can check your usage throughout the day, you know how much electricity you’re using. You can watch your smart meter from your phone and try different methods of reducing your consumption. For instance, you may see your smart meter move more slowly if you turn off the air conditioner and turn on a fan instead. When customers are aware of their usage, they tend to use less, and that saves them money.
No contracts for prepaid customers.
Now that you have the facts, you will probably want to compare Pronto Power’s price per kilowatt-hour with other electricity providers, which is always a great idea. However, be careful as you compare rates because the majority of electrical providers charge their customers deposits, sign-up fees, service fees, and more. The fine print on their contract might also stipulate that the low service rates they advertise are only good for a certain period, but you will be bound to a 12-month contract. After a few months, your rates can skyrocket, but you will be penalized for breaking your contract. With Pronto Power, you don’t have to deal with the hassle that comes with contracts because your service is month-to-month.
Unmatched customer service
Pronto Power has a different approach to keeping its customers happy: great customer service to match its great service. Our representatives don’t use gimmicks or sales hacks to reel you in. Instead, they offer premier customer service, helping you get set up with ease and answering your questions along the way. Plus, if your account is running low and you don’t have money to add to it, simply call our customer service team and they will defer your payment.
