Supporting Local Businesses Can Help Keep More Money in Your Pocket
By: Darren Chu and Deanna McArthur
Video conferencing. Working remotely. Streaming the news. Playing video games. Livestreaming on social media. Online shopping.
These days we are all doing more of these kinds of things while we stay home to stay safe and healthy.
Since government-directed social distancing measures were put in place, you may have noticed an increase in the amount of electricity that you’re using from having more computers, TVs, and other devices active throughout the day. Your natural gas consumption may have increased to keep the house a little warmer from 9 to 5 (thanks for overstaying your welcome Old Man Winter…). And your Internet usage has probably spiked from all the additional streaming.
Unfortunately, with higher consumption, comes higher utility bills.
For over 10 years, Spot Power has been offering lower rates for electricity, natural gas and green energy in Alberta. We have been successful in helping thousands of Albertans lower their utility bills.
As you may know, Spot Power is part of a unique network of utility providers, all backed by Utility Network & Partners Inc. (UTILITYnet). UTILITYnet is a locally-owned, small family business whose objective has always been to provide customers with choice, and help them keep more money in their pockets by saving them money on their utilities.
It is UTILITYnet’s belief that Internet access is no longer a luxury, but rather a utility meant to facilitate daily life. This is especially true in our new status quo. Recently, the owners of UTILITYnet asked themselves, how can we claim to save Albertans money on their utilities, when we are missing Internet, which has become such an important piece of that utility puzzle?
In response to this, Spot Power and a number of the other Energy Marketers in UTILITYnet’s network partnered with Q Wave, an alternative to the corporate monopolies that dominate Western Canada’s Internet market. The goal was to give customers freedom from long-term contracts, hidden fees, and poor customer service, while at the same time, saving them money on their internet services.
Our roots may be in electricity and natural gas, but our talented, knowledgeable team has been successful in expanding our offerings. We are here to educate consumers not only on their choices in the energy market, but also the Internet market. We want to help them better understand the services they are signing up for.
Our partnership with Q Wave means that we can now offer our customers the ability to bundle Internet, electricity, and natural gas. Any customer who adds Internet service to their electricity and/or natural gas account will receive 6 months of electricity and natural gas administration fees, FREE!
By signing up you can save money on your utilities and support local Alberta businesses at the same time. It’s a win-win.
The same benefits can be said about choosing a local utility provider.
Today, local businesses are facing challenging times, if ever there was a time to shop local, this would be it.
Aside from great prices for electricity, gas, and Internet, the benefits of bundling your Internet services with us include:
Bundle. Save. WIN!
