Save On Energy

What Save On Energy does

Save On Energy, LLC operates an online energy comparison marketplace that connects residential and business consumers with electricity, natural gas, and solar providers in US deregulated markets. Founded in 2003 in Texas and now a subsidiary of Red Ventures, the platform enables users to enter a ZIP code, compare rates and plan features across more than ten partner providers (TXU Energy, Reliant, TriEagle, Constellation, Gexa, 4Change, Frontier, APG&E, Octopus Energy, Direct Energy, Discount Power), filter by renewable energy and rate type, calculate usage, and enroll online or by phone. The company complements its residential marketplace with PowerHQ, a business energy comparison platform operated in partnership with Blitz Ventures (PUCT Reg #BR200046), and with an Arcadia-powered community solar subscription offering, giving the platform a span that covers traditional retail electricity, business procurement, and distributed solar access.

The company is headquartered at 1423 Red Ventures Dr, Fort Mill, SC, with an additional office at 9600 N Mopac Expy, Suite 500, Austin, TX, and operates with a headcount band of 11-50 employees. SaveOnEnergy earns revenue through referral and lead-generation fees paid by partner energy providers when consumers enroll in a plan through the marketplace; the platform itself is free to consumers and the company does not resell or mark up energy plans. Customer acquisition relies on content marketing and SEO targeted at state-specific rate queries, an active social presence (Facebook, X, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram), phone-based sales support during extended business hours, and social proof from 8,110 Trustpilot reviews at a 4.5-star rating and an A+ Better Business Bureau accreditation. SaveOnEnergy reports having helped more than one million customers since founding and is an officially registered energy broker with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT Reg #BR190319).

The company's geographic footprint spans 14 US states (Texas, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, California, Florida, Arizona, Colorado, Michigan, and Nevada), all restricted to deregulated markets in which retail energy choice is permitted. The platform supports two registered trademarks ("SaveOnEnergy.com" and "May the best rate win"), holds no disclosed patents, and operates without a native mobile application, public API, or disclosed AI/ML capabilities. Reported product lines include the SaveOnEnergy.com residential marketplace, PowerHQ for business energy, a curated set of residential electricity plans, solar information resources and community solar subscriptions, and an Energy Resources Hub of educational content including usage calculators, green-energy guides, EV charging content, and seasonal preparedness material.
