Fed up with Atco, Ready to Switch?

There always seems to be a BIG player when it comes to most industries and the energy sector is no different. Those are the companies that seem to dominate and usually, there is a reason for that.

Atco, Enmax, and Direct Energy are a few of the BIG household names in the energy sector here in Canada.

In the past consumers didn’t have many options to choose from and that is why, we began our business. We wanted to give Albertans another option when it came to the energy industry. The energy sector is a confusing place to be if you are a customer and we are trying to make it as straightforward as possible to simplify the process choosing what energy company that you want to use for your home or business.

In this blog post, we are going to talk about Atco and why they are the most popular choice for energy in Alberta. More than that though, we are going to cover the alternative options that are available and the benefits of choosing an energy company other than Atco.

ATCO: ONE OF THE BIG PLAYERS IN THE ENERGY SECTOR

When we say the name Atco, most of us here in Alberta know who that is and what they do. We know that they provide energy services and that they are one of those energy companies that tend to dominate the industry. How did they come to be this way?

Atco began in 1947 when father and son, S.D and R.D Southern started Alberta Trailor Hire. However, it wasn’t until 2016 that AtcoEnergy was started. They promised Albertans to offer lower-cost services and outstanding service in the energy sector.

Acto hasn’t been in the energy game long but they have a reputation and a business that has been around for many years prior to that. AtcoEnergy offers residential and business services when it comes to energy.

Atco gives you the option of choosing from one year, two year, or three year contract. If you choose to do a three year contract for your electricity services, you will get a better rate. Signing a contract for three years may not be comfortable for everyone.  Are you looking for something different?

USING AN ALTERNATIVE OPTION FOR YOUR HOME’S ENERGY 

Just like anything else these days, you don’t need to stick with the big corporations in regards to the energy for your home. You have more options than ever which is a great thing but it can also feel very intimidating to sign up with a company that you are unfamiliar with.
