ESCO mailer decoder

Every WNY homeowner gets alternative-supplier mailers promising savings. Most of them overpay vs the National Grid, NYSEG, or RG&E default supply within a few billing cycles. Upload a photo of the mailer (front and back if needed) or enter the rate and terms by hand; we compare to the current WNY default band and flag contract terms that usually cost you.

  • Compares the ESCO rate to current WNY default-supply bands for National Grid, NYSEG, and RG&E.
  • Flags variable rates, teaser traps, auto-renewal, and ETFs one by one.
  • Estimates annual overpayment in dollars so the tradeoff is concrete.

Alternative-supplier mailers look like bills, promise savings, and almost always land above the utility default within a few months. Upload a photo of yours or enter the numbers by hand; we compare it to current WNY default supply bands and flag the contract terms that usually overcharge.
