Should I go with ReAmped Energy or Origin?

Chances are, you’re already with Origin. So, the better question might be, should you switch to ReAmped Energy? This is seriously a David versus Goliath type situation, so you’ll first have to decide whether you prefer the perceived safety offered by the big guy, or take a shot in the dark with the smaller challenger.

ReAmped may be new to the party, but it brings with it budget prices that are hard to ignore. For tech-savvy people who’d rather manage their energy accounts online, ReAmped may be a good fit, offering ‘fast’ online service as a priority. For lovers of flexibility and over the phone service, however, Origin’s pick-and-choose plans could be the better fit. Origin is also far from the most expensive retailer around, so this isn’t all about the cheapest prices.

You need to know that Origin and ReAmped are just two of dozens of providers likely in your area. Follow the link below to compare plans from a much wider range.
