Criterias when choosing electricity companies:

Comparing services of electricity companies to choose is a very time consuming step. There are many companies which let their customers monthly use a specific amount of electricity for free, but once it exceeds, the fee is very high. Also, there are companies that have several promotions but customers have to pay a big amount of money if they want to cancel the contracts (解約費). Therefore, it is necessary to understand the conditions of each service thoroughly to avoid the case of switching to a new service to save money but it turns out to cost more money than doing nothing. 

We will show you the following companies which have reputations, affordable services and cost nothing when you want to register or cancel.

How to compare prices of electricity services?

To compare prices accurately, first of all, you should pay attention to the monthly bills to know your current electricity contracts, monthly usage, etc. From there, we can have some criterias in mind to choose the electricity suppliers.

For example, you can go to the electricity company’s homepage or check the 従量電灯A at the section 2 (ご契約種別) of your monthly bill to see what type of service plan you are using. In addition, it is important to pay attention to 2 other sections that are the basic monthly fee (基本料金) and the service fee according to the accumulated price list (電力量料金).
