Hi Product Hunt, I'm Sean. I built Kilowhiz myself, and I still use it for my own home in the Houston area.
In most of Texas you choose your electricity provider from a long list of plans. Every plan has an Electricity Facts Label (EFL). It shows the plan's price at three amounts of use: 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh a month. Your home uses its own amount, and the EFL doesn't show the price there.
Kilowhiz reads your electric meter, prices every plan sold at your address, and tells you which one wins, before you sign. Smart Meter Texas emails you. Tap Confirm and two years of 15-minute meter readings arrive by themselves. No password; stop any time. Until they arrive, we price on an estimate from your answers about the home.
Whether to switch, and how much you'd save, is free. The recommended plan is $5 to unlock, and no provider can pay to move up the ranking.
At kilowhiz.com/answers I work through the questions Texans ask about plans: bill credits, free nights and weekends, early-termination fees, renewal offers and solar buyback. Each one is worked on a made-up home.
It only works in Texas, and it's new. I'd like your feedback: what would you need to see before you shared your meter readings with us?
