Just in case you haven\u2019t seen our first breakdown<\/a> of the Energy Choice Ohio<\/strong> site, we\u2019re back. Let’s get to the core mistakes that the Energy Choice Ohio<\/a><\/strong> comparison site makes. It’s a big site with lots of providers. But does it screen them? And does it provide you with enough information? Let’s check out how Apples to Apples<\/strong> fails consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Many Unsorted Apples<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

PUCO\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> site likes to boast about its massive collection of plans for you to browse. And it is true that they have a huge swath of every single plan available to you. Every single plan from every single provider across the state is there. But Apples to Apples is not allowed to favor one provider over the other, including the good and the not-so-good. While an unbiased site sounds like a good idea, it’s a problem for consumers. After all, it lets providers with poor customer service, inaccessible fee schedules, and less than stellar ethics<\/a> put up their plans on PUCO’s site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how do you choose the best plan without biting into a rotten plan? Unfortunately, the info PUCO’s<\/strong> Apples to Apples site gives you is only skin deep. So, if you\u2019re shopping electricity rates, there’s no way to tell which tempting, shiny plans are actually awful underneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Ohio Electricity Ratings<\/strong>, you don\u2019t have to worry about that. You can see exactly how we score and work with providers<\/a>. And we also have the terms of service right there for you to see before you pick a plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s Apples to Apples Not Telling You<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

PUCO<\/strong> wants you to think that their Apples to Apples<\/strong> site offers the best information for shopping for your electricity. As a matter of fact, doesn’t. For example, one common practice by a state energy regulators is to gather and report consumer complaint information in an unbiased way. Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Texas, and many other states perform this simple task to help consumers choose wisely. But while Ohio does gather complaint information, it doesn’t readily furnish it in a way that makes sense to consumers shopping for electricity providers. Unfortunately, that leaves unwary consumers choosing too-good-to-be-true plans when unscrupulous providers<\/a> post on the Apples to Apples site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Ohio Energy Ratings<\/strong> evaluates and ranks providers. It also gathers and posts real customer reviews<\/a> of certified electricity providers in Ohio. This way, consumers can shop the best deals from the best providers. Customers can also find information on how to read their monthly utility bills, how to learn from them about their energy use, and what may happen to future rates. Plus, you can learn more about ways to save money with energy saving tips<\/a>. In other words, why not use Ohio Energy Ratings<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
