Will my power be turned off if I switch?
No. Your lights stay on.
Eversource, Liberty, Unitil or the New Hampshire Electric Co-op still brings the power to your home and sends your bill. Only the price part changes.

Warning signs of a pushy seller or a scam
If someone calls or knocks and says any of these, you can hang up or close the door.
- "I'm with your electric company." A company selling price plans is not your electric company.
- "Read me your account number." That number lets someone switch you. Don't share it unless you have decided to switch.
- "You're guaranteed to save." No one can promise that.
- "This low price is just for the first month." That is a starting price. Ask what it will be after that.
- "You have to decide today." You never have to decide on the spot.
- "You can't cancel." You can. You have at least 5 days after you sign up.
Judy Saves will never call you or knock on your door.
Is switching safe?
Will I always save money?
Not always. Savings are not promised.
That is why we check the math for you, fees included.
How switching works
Who do I call to switch?
You call the company that will set your new price, or sign up on its website. You don't call your electric company.
The switch happens at your next meter reading.
My town has Community Power. What does that mean?
Many New Hampshire towns pick one company and one price for everyone in town. This is called Community Power.
If your town has a town electricity plan, your default may be the town's price, not your electric company's default service.
To leave it, call the town's Community Power program and ask to go back to your electric company.
I get my power from the New Hampshire Electric Co-op. Is that different?
The Co-op is owned by its members and sets its own standard price.
You can still pick a company for the price part of your bill. We compare the Co-op's price like any other.
Changing your mind and going back
Can I change my mind after I sign up?
Yes. You have 5 to 11 days to cancel. It depends on how you signed up.
Call the new company to cancel in that time.
Can I go back to my electric company's standard price?
Yes. Your plan may have a fee to leave early. Check your plan papers first.
Eversource, Liberty and Unitil change their standard price twice a year, on February 1 and August 1.
When a price plan ends
What happens when my price plan ends?
The company must tell you at least 45 days before your plan ends.
If you don't keep track, you may pay more. Write down the end date.
