I use to take about 30 to 40 minutes to search down the least expensive electric supplier and transfer our service. Now it is all done for me for free. What a deal!

Getting those minutes back sounds like a fair trade to us, Dick. We'll keep tracking down the best plan for you so that search stays off your list for good 🌞

Thanks for keeping me well informed efficiently. It's nice to have Arbor check on the apples-to-apples supplier prices for me. I tend to forget about the need to check periodically.

Let Arbor do it for you

I used to shop for electricity companies myself. I know how to do compare prices to PPL.I've been doing it for years. Well then one day I got a letter in the mail from Arbor. It was telling me how they would do everything for me. I didn't have to do anything anymore . They would do everything for me ,when someone tells you this if you don't go for it I don't know what's wrong with you . I just sit back and relax and they do all the shopping for electricity for me and if a better rate comes up, they're right on it and they switch it over for meIt's the easiest thing in my hectic life and it's free

Hey John, we understand meager isn't the word you want attached to your experience with us. The rate plan we secure for you and what comes back in savings depends on your own usage and where the market and your utility's rate stand at the time — and Arbor is always free to use. Value goes beyond immediate savings, as you're secured on a steadier rate vs. riding out whatever the utility does next. We're here if you ever want a closer look at your account, and we appreciate your feedback! All the best 🌞

Took forever to set up - Savings are puny for me

Took forever to set up, submitting all sort of documentation about my bills and current account. Then weeks went by, was asked to resubmit and finally got some savings of about $1 / month. At least for me, really not worth the effort.

Hey Philippe, so sorry the back-and-forth at the start - definitely not the note we want our customers starting on. We appreciate your trust despite the blip. The rate plan we secure for you and what comes back in savings depends on your own usage and where the market and your utility's rate stand at the time — and there's never a cost to use Arbor either way. Value goes beyond immediate savings, as you're secured on a steadier rate vs. riding out whatever the utility does next. We're happy to take another look at your account if you'd like - we're always available at support@joinarbor.com. We'd welcome walking through any further feedback you may have 🌞

Hey Patrick, we understand $3 a bill is less than you were hoping for, and we don't want to brush that off.

Reply from Arbor

Fair question, Plum - $1.29 won't buy much on its own. Savings and the rate secured move with your usage and the market, so some months land bigger than others, and since there's no cost to use Arbor, every bit banked is still a bit ahead. 🌞 We appreciate the feedback!

After reading many many reviews …

After reading many many reviews and researching how Arbor actually operates, we decided to give it a try. Sign up was super easy and information on the site was very clear to state that new rates are typically secured in 1-2 weeks and the rate changes would be seen on our electric bill in 1-2 billing cycles.

From the negative reviews we've read, we think many folks just don't understand what they're signing up for or how utility billing actually works. There is no such thing as "instant savings" when it comes to utilities, as they run on billing cycles and your provider doesn't change in the middle of a current billing cycle ... and when you do make a change it takes 1-2 billing cycles for the changes to be seen.

We're willing to give Arbor time to see what they can do to help lower my supplier charges and save us the headache of trying to manage all of this ourselves. If only the delivery charges by our electric company could be lowered too ... but that's a whole other ball of wax.

Doing the research before diving in is smart, so we're glad the process matched what you found - clear timelines, no surprises. 🌞 We'll keep working on the supplier side of your bill, Nancy, and appreciate you giving us the room to prove it; the delivery charges are set by your utility, but we're glad to help with what we can control!

Using Arbor's services is like finding money in your pocket every month. You literally have to do nothing except authorize them to find and subscribe you to the best utility rates available. Just a home run each month.

A home run each month — we'll happily take that, James! 💰 Thanks for letting us handle the legwork; we'll keep hunting down better rate plans so you can keep doing nothing at all.
