We believe in total transparency. Here's exactly how our business works.
You never pay us a penny.
When you switch to a new provider through American Utility, that provider pays us a commission. This means we're incentivized to find you the best deal possible — because if you don't switch, we don't get paid.
A step-by-step breakdown of where our revenue comes from
You fill out our quick form with information about your current utilities and what you're looking for. This is 100% free — no credit card required, no hidden fees.
Our team compares dozens of providers in your area. We look at pricing, contract terms, customer reviews, and hidden fees to find you the absolute best deal. You still pay us nothing.
We present you with your options and help you decide. If you choose to switch, great! If you're already getting the best deal, we'll tell you that too. No pressure, no hard sells — just honest advice.
If you decide to switch, the new provider pays us a one-time commission. This is standard in the industry — kind of like how a real estate agent gets paid by the seller, not the buyer. Your rate is exactly the same whether you go through us or go direct to the provider.
The rates we negotiate for you are the same (or better) than what you'd get going directly to the provider. You're not subsidizing our commission — the provider is.
The more money we save you, the more likely you are to switch. If we don't save you money, you won't switch, and we don't get paid. Our success depends on your savings.
We earn a one-time commission when you switch. There are no monthly fees, no subscription costs, and no hidden charges. Ever.
We don't make money by selling your information to third parties. Your data is used solely to help you find better rates, and it's protected with industry-standard security.
