This gives you price stability. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Variable Rate. <\/strong>Your rate per kWh will be a low introductory rate. Then each month your rate changes, usually going up every month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Green Energy.<\/strong> Fixed rate plan backed by carbon-free electricity or renewable energy certificates. This is a great affordable option if you want to support a cleaner Pennsylvania.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Buy-Down Plans. <\/strong>These are a fairly new type of electricity plan. You&#8217;ll pay a flat monthly service charge, but have a low price per kWh. These plans are good for customers that use over 1000 kWh per month.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll compare each of these rates to the PPL Price to Compare to see if you can save. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-the-best-electric-supplier-in-allentown\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Best Electric Supplier in Allentown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The truth is, there is no one best electricity provider in Allentown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But you should consider what&#8217;s important to you when shopping for electricity. Your only interaction with the supplier is the line item on your bill. So what matters are the details of the electricity plan and the electricity rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some of the things to look for when you shop for the best electric supplier in PA:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rate per kWh. <\/strong>What is the price you are paying per unit of power used?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Early Termination Fee.<\/strong> If you change your mind or find a better deal, what will it cost you to switch?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Monthly Fee.<\/strong> Some providers charge a monthly fee, on top of the price per kWh. You may be able to get a lower per kWh rate by paying this fee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Contract Term. <\/strong>Contract terms can vary from 12 to 36 months. If prices are low and you think the utility rate will continue to increase, look for a longer term plan with a low or no early termination fee. That way you get a low rate and can switch away at if rates drop. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each of these factors matter when you are picking the best electricity company for your Allentown home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But for most people? Best means the plan with the cheapest electricity rate. We cover that below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-find-the-cheapest-electricity-rate-in-allentown\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Find the Cheapest Electricity Rate in Allentown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best electricity rate in Allentown usually means the cheapest.

We recommend Fixed Rate or Renewable Energy electricity plans. Variable rates are risky since they fluctuate with market conditions.
