Your results

Now it’s time to see what your answers reveal. Count up your 🔒, 📈, 🌿 and 📦 selections to discover the energy setup that best matches your priorities.

Mostly 🔒: Certainty and consistency

Whether it’s planning your calendar, sticking to routines, or simply knowing what to expect, you appreciate stability. If that sounds like you, a fixed-rate electricity plan could be a great fit.

With a fixed-rate plan, your electricity rates stay the same throughout your term, even if market prices fluctuate. That means one less surprise to worry about and greater confidence when budgeting from month to month.

Mostly 📈: Opportunity and flexibility

If you don’t mind leaving room for spontaneity, and are open to the idea that sometimes taking a different approach can pay off, a floating-rate electricity plan may be worth exploring.

With a floating-rate plan, your electricity rate changes with the market. If you’re comfortable with some month-to-month fluctuations in exchange for potential savings, this option may suit your style.

Any 🌿?

You like knowing your choices have a positive impact.

If sustainability is one of your priorities, consider adding Green Energy to your electricity plan. With Encor Chirp green power, you can choose to get 15, 50 or 100 percent of your electricity from renewable sources, and still enjoy the same benefits as our regular fixed plan. And the best part? The difference in cost is small, so you can do good and feel smart about it.

Any 📦?

You’re all about keeping life simple.

If there’s an easier way to get something done, you’re interested. That’s why bundling your electricity and natural gas may be a great fit. Bundling means:

One provider,
One bill, and
One less thing to juggle.

It’s a simple way to manage your home energy in one place, leaving you with one less thing to think about.

More than one category?

Most people don't fit neatly into just one category, and that's a good thing.

Maybe you value predictable bills and want to support renewable energy. Or perhaps you like the idea of market-based pricing but also appreciate the convenience of having one provider.

The best energy plan isn't about choosing one category. It's about finding the combination that reflects what matters most to you. If that changes, you can change or cancel anytime, penalty-free.
