HERITAGE POWER LLC — Bright Start 5 – $50 First Bill Credit!!

Rejected We left this plan off our honest list. Here's exactly why.

BASE CHARGE

Charges a flat monthly base fee on top of the rate — it quietly raises your real cost, and hits low-usage months hardest.

CC FEE

Adds a credit-card or processing fee — you pay extra just to pay your bill.

What it actually costs at different usage

Average price per kWh at three usage levels. An honest fixed plan is nearly flat. Watch how the effective rate moves.
