Unlock the recommended plan for $5.

The unlock is $5, once per home for a 30-day shopping window. Re-runs inside that window are free; after it closes, a new window is a new unlock. Before you pay, we tell you whether we expect you to save. When a provider pays us for an enrollment, you see that plan's name free, and the payment prints on it.
Subscriptions renew yearly until you cancel. Nothing switches your plan automatically. You always enroll yourself, on the provider's own site.
How the free part is paid for
Kilowhiz charges customers an unlock fee of $5, once per home per 30-day shopping window. Some electricity providers pay Kilowhiz when you enroll in one of their plans through our partner link. Today those providers are Chariot Energy, True Power and Payless Power.When a provider pays us for an enrollment, the payment prints on that plan and you see the plan's name without paying. The ranking never considers who pays. It is arithmetic on your meter readings, and you can check every number. How we make money
Before you start
Do I have to pay to see my assessment?
No, your assessment is free: whether to switch, stay or wait, and what your current plan costs you. Pay $5 to see the recommended plan, once per home per 30-day shopping window. Whiz+ and Whiz Pro, when they open, will add alerts through the year, a detailed usage dashboard and chat.
How do you make money?
Kilowhiz charges customers an unlock fee of $5, once per home per 30-day shopping window. Some electricity providers pay Kilowhiz when you enroll in one of their plans through our partner link. Today those providers are Chariot Energy, True Power and Payless Power.When a provider pays us for a switch through our link, that plan says so and opens free. The payment never moves a plan in the ranking. The whole policy.
Why charge for the unlock?
So that what a provider pays us never decides which plan we recommend. Providers pay the free comparison sites that list them, and the plan at the top is often the one that pays most. You see whether you'd save, and how much, before you pay $5.
Do you need my utility password?
No: you tap Confirm on a notice from Texas utilities' official meter system, Smart Meter Texas (SMT), on our page or in its email. We can read your meter readings and nothing else, so we can't switch your provider. You can stop sharing any time.
How long does it take?
A few minutes: add your address and a recent bill, tap Confirm on Smart Meter Texas's notice, then add your plan's EFL or pick it from a list. Your readings usually arrive within minutes.
What if I should stay on my current plan?
Then your assessment tells you to stay, free, with the numbers that show why. Sometimes the right answer is to do nothing.
What if my contract hasn't ended?
We take your early-termination fee (ETF) off the saving. If it saves more to wait until you can leave without the fee, we tell you to wait, and until what day.
Do you switch my plan for me?
No. You sign up on the provider's own site and press its last button yourself. We show you each step and check today's price first.
Can I check the math?
Yes: every number has a receipt showing the rate, the credits you did or didn't earn, and your utility's delivery charges: what the utility charges to bring power to your home. We also rebuild your last bill so you can compare it with the real one. The full method is on the methodology page.
Where in Texas does it work?
In the parts of Texas where you can choose who sells you electricity: the Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas, Texas-New Mexico Power, Lubbock Power & Light and Nueces Electric Cooperative areas. Your address tells us which one is yours.
Kilowhiz is an independent price-checking service and a registered Texas electricity broker. The state registers us to help you choose a plan. We sell no electricity, and we are not a retail electric provider, the company that bills you for power. Your identity and the card you enroll with go to the provider directly and never pass through us. How the math works
