Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to see savings, and can we lock in rates before summer spikes?

Most multifamily properties get competing offers within 24 hours of sharing bills or basic usage info (ZIP + average kWh). Review transparent side-by-side quotes Choose the best rate (often fixed for 12–36 months) Switch digitally with no tenant impact Locking in a fixed rate now protects against ERCOT summer volatility—critical for budgeting cooling-heavy months. Many owners secure savings before peak season, improving cash flow and NOI immediately.

Is there any cost or risk to my property when using EnergyBrokerTx?

Zero cost and zero risk: Our service is 100% free to you—providers pay us a standard commission already built into the rate (your bill never increases because you used a broker). No obligation: review offers and walk away if none fit. No disruption: switching is handled seamlessly with digital signing and utility coordination. Licensed & regulated: We’re a fully registered PUCT broker. Your data is secure, and all providers are ERCOT/PUCT-approved.

How much can a typical Texas apartment complex actually save using your reverse auction?

Savings vary by property size, usage, location (Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP, etc.), and current contract—but our multifamily clients average 15–30% reductions on total electricity spend. A 200-unit garden-style complex might save $15,000–$35,000/year. Larger portfolios (500+ units) often see $50,000+ annually. High summer cooling loads, pool pumps, and common-area HVAC drive the biggest opportunities. We provide a free, personalized savings estimate before you commit—no obligation, no pressure.

Do you offer solutions for both common-area and tenant-paid electricity in apartments?

Yes. We customize plans for the full property: Common areas (HVAC, lighting, elevators, pools, clubhouses) — often the biggest controllable OpEx line item. Sub-metered or tenant-paid units — we help structure master-metered or individual accounts to capture bulk discounts and pass savings through fairly. Our reverse auction compares commercial-grade rates that multifamily owners qualify for, frequently 15–30% lower than default or residential-style plans. No matter your metering setup, we ensure compliance and maximize savings without affecting tenant bills or satisfaction.

How can an energy broker help lower electricity costs for multifamily properties without disrupting tenants?

Our licensed Texas brokers run a free reverse auction with 25+ providers to secure the lowest rates for your entire portfolio—common areas, clubhouse, pool pumps, laundry rooms, and even sub-metered tenant loads where allowed. The process is completely behind-the-scenes: you share bills or usage data, we negotiate, you choose the best offer. Switching happens seamlessly with no tenant disruption, no downtime, and no service interruption—while saving 15–30% on average. Many complexes redirect those savings to amenities, maintenance, or leasing incentives that boost occupancy and NOI.
