Free access to a tool that monitors electricity rates in your area and switches your household to a lower fixed-rate supply plan when one becomes available.
Arbor is a free energy-optimization service built for households in deregulated electricity markets. Instead of you having to compare energy suppliers yourself, Arbor watches the market around the clock and switches your account to a lower fixed-rate plan when it finds one, aiming to protect you from sudden price spikes. To use it, you fill out a short form and connect your utility account so Arbor can review your current rate and manage the switch on your behalf. There is no cost to sign up, but you do need to link your actual utility account for the service to work.
