Energy Comparison

Energy Switching Recommendations

Personalized Energy Plan Switching Recommendations

Generic energy comparisons don't reflect real usage patterns. Fiskil provides personalized switching recommendations using actual consumption data from connected energy accounts.

Generic Comparisons Don't Match Real Savings

Customers get misleading savings estimates based on average usage, not their actual consumption.

  • Comparison sites use average usage estimates

  • Actual savings differ from advertised savings

  • Time-of-use patterns ignored in recommendations

  • Customers don't trust generic comparisons

  • Miss best plan matches for individual usage
