All homeowners have energy and gas bills to pay. But in some states, homeowners have the option to choose where they get their energy rather than being told who they have to work with. This is thanks to energy deregulation. Deregulated energy companies have been around for several years now, working with customers who choose their services. So if you live in a deregulated area or are moving to one in the near future, here are a few things you should know about energy deregulation.State-appointed utility companies still manage power lines.

Refrigeration has come a long way since the days of the icebox. Today's typical home refrigerator is 20% bigger than the average one of 1975, even though they tend to cost 60% less now than they did back then.

Overall, U.S. electricity use is now 13 times greater than it was in 1950, and many residential homeowners and energy companies alike are increasingly looking for ways to either decrease their energy costs or minimize their carbon footprint. After air conditioning and water heating -- which account for roughly 19% and 14-18% of in-home electricity use, respectively -- refrigeration is…

The interest in -- and progress with -- deregulated electricity and energy companies has generally grown at an exponential rate over the last few years. Presumably, as a direct result of the rising costs power suppliers are asking for. The average monthly electric bill for an average American now costs about $107 (or 903 kilowatt hours). While many states have already deregulated energy markets to allow for more competition and better rates/service for the consumer, there are still many that are stuck in the old model of energy suppliers, who use only one utility service. Arizona may be one such state for now, but a new piece of legislation that's currently going through the process of being enacted could help to change that. According to the industry news source ElectricChoice.com,…
