Hi all, like many on liberty utilities that took too long to decide on switching providers, I'm now locked in with them at around $0.22-23/kWh. I was on facebook and saw an add for a service, https://www.joinarbor.com/
When I enter my info, they suggest they can lower my rate to $0.12/kWh with no commitment required. Could this somehow be a scam?

Edit: arbor is not listed as a provider for liberty

$0.01 cheaper than what Arbor is listing but arbor has an enticing and simple interface and auto updates on rates after the 6 months is up. Hhmm

There’s only a few available for liberty. But some are almost $0.10/kWh less than liberty

They're not a provider, it looks like they link you with a provider.

you need to go through the option provided by your utility provider. They should have a portion of their site dedicated to the available choices with that provider and the steps to sign up.

At this point I find $0.12 per kWh to be suspect. Chances are this is a rate that was available and is being used to farm more people to sign up with them.

But lower prices and no commitment are available, however there is no real reason to not commit to t along term option as the rates for electricity aren't going down any time soon.

Personally I sign up for the lowest possible rate (which was $0.13 per kWh for 100% renewable) for the longest possible time (36 months when I did it last September).

I have no idea if arbor is legit but I switched to DE in likeeee sept/oct (I can't remember even though it was less than 6 mos ago lol) and it's already saved me a ton.

I mean, what's the worst that could happen if I give them my liberty utilities account info?

I had to give DE my Eversource info so I can’t tell you not to do that lol

They can log in and get your name, banking, etc and flip you over to them at a higher rate than stated, cause your electric to be shut off, etc etc.

There's a lot more they can do than you think.

Not sure if we switched to Arbor, my wife did it. Switching away from Eversource as the provider has at least mitigated Eversource rate increases.
