Save up to $300 annually on your household electric bill

Arbor continuously compares energy supply rates from competing electricity suppliers. This includes fixed-rate plans that are lower than your utility’s default rate. If Arbor finds a better rate, it asks your permission and then automatically switches you to the cheaper option.

Even if Arbor finds you a cheaper rate, your service and billing stay with your original utility company, only the supply portion of your bill changes.

Arbor’s service is free, they earn a fee from suppliers, not you. Arbor is also contract-free, so you can opt out or cancel any time you’d like.

Enrolling is as simple as linking your utility account or uploading a recent bill. Arbor then verifies your rate and begins the savings process.

Both residential and small business customers can enroll. Arbor is available in states with deregulated energy markets. You can check your eligibility by entering your state and uploading a recent bill.

A fixed rate energy plan means you pay the same rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for the entire length of your contract.

A variable rate energy plan means your rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh) can change monthly, based on market prices or the supplier’s discretion.

Arbor only offers fixed-rate plans via their platform.

Many suppliers do not have termination fees, if a plan does and you signed up with Arbor, Arbor will reimburse you if you cancel before the end of the term.

There are no hidden fees or sign-up charges with Arbor.

Arbor also only offers fixed-rate plans, providing a set price for the length of your term, meaning you can avoid unexpected price hikes during that term.

Arbor typically does not switch your rate in the middle of your current fixed‑rate term.

When your fixed rate plan is close to its end, Arbor starts looking for a new competitive rate for you. If you have their Autopilot feature turned on, they will automatically submit you to the best available rate from their marketplace. If Autopilot is off, Arbor will notify you of your contract’s impending expiration and provide recommendations.

After you sign up, Arbor often finds a lower/new rate within about 72 hours, but the actual switch onto your bill takes effect in 1‑2 billing cycles (this depends on your utility company).

Notification from the supplier
Your current electricity supplier is required to notify you as the fixed‑rate contract approaches its end. The notice may include a renewal offer.

If you have Arbor Autopilot turned ON
Arbor will automatically switch you to the best available fixed‐rate plan in their marketplace once your term is ending. This is to help avoid you getting stuck in a more expensive rate once your fixed term lapses.

If you DON’T have Arbor Autopilot
Arbor will inform you that your contract is nearing its end. They’ll also provide you with recommendations for alternative plans you can choose from.

Yes, with Arbor’s protections you can! Arbor gives you fixed rates with trusted suppliers, they display any early termination fees up front and reimburse you for any incurred under Arbor-secured plans, and your service remains reliable because your utility company still handles delivery.
