I am a customer of United Illuminating because I live in CT. My power is still provided by them but I found out that I can choose another supplier. It was so easy to switch that I changed my home and business to North American Power. UI's rate at the time was $.872 per kWh (per kilowatt hour) VS. North American Power's rate of $.699 per kWh. That was a no-brainer decision. I figure I should save a few hundred dollars in a year. Want to see if you can save some moolah? Simply go to http://www.napower.com/165204/ to get a quote. If your state participates, all you have to do is enter a few numbers from you recent utility bill. They take care of the change and in a month or so you will see them as the new supplier along with the lower energy rate. Once you switch, they will give you a cash bonus by encouraging your friends and family to switch.

Home Sweet Home Again

We've been in our new location for about a month now and starting to feel settled. Thank you to all who supported in some way. Whether a customer, donor to our fundraiser campaign or physically helped move - THANK YOU!

Be sure to visit as soon as possible. We are now at 993 Main St, Suite 1U, Bridgeport, CT 06604. We didn't move far. If you are familiar with our old location we just moved from in side the Arcade Mall to the outside, right across from Jimmy's. Our street location makes it a lot easier to unload and load for swapping. If you haven't checked out our new digs, here are some photos to wet your palette.
