How to switch your Bernardsville electricity provider

While Bernardsville's deregulated electricity market might seem complex, switching electricity providers involves a straightforward process that can help you save.

To switch providers, you'll need to:

• Verify your eligibility by confirming you're in a deregulated area
• Enter your ZIP code into comparison tools to find available suppliers
• Compare rates against your utility's Price to Compare (PTC)
• Review contract terms, including length and fees
• Select a plan and complete online enrollment

The switch typically takes effect within one to two billing cycles, and your new supplier handles all back-end changes.

You won't need to contact your utility company or worry about service interruptions.

Best time to switch electric companies in Bernardsville, New Jersey?

The best times for switching include when your contract is approaching expiration or during low-demand seasons.

Consider these ideal switching periods:

• During moderate weather months (spring/fall) when energy demand is lower
• When your contract is within 30-60 days of expiration
• After checking price trends using comparison tools
• When regulatory changes create more competitive rates

Review your contract renewal dates regularly and monitor market conditions to secure better rates.

Avoid switching during peak demand periods, such as extreme summer or winter months, when rates typically surge.

Bernardsville's deregulated electricity market

Since New Jersey enacted electricity deregulation in 1999, you've had the power to choose your electricity supplier while your local utility handles the physical delivery of power.

• Delivery charges from your local utility company

Four major utilities serve New Jersey residents:

• Public Service Electric and Gas (PSE&G)
• Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L)
• Atlantic City Electric
• Rockland Electric

If you don't select a third-party supplier, your local utility becomes your default provider through the PJM wholesale market.
