Energy / Trampoline parks, FECs & rinks
Family entertainment electricity, compared across every supplier
A trampoline park is a warehouse you promise to keep cool while a hundred kids raise its temperature all day — plus attraction motors, inflatables, kitchens, and a parking lot of lighting. Electricity sits near the top of the P&L, and in deregulated markets the meters behind it can be priced by every licensed supplier at once. Send one bill and we’ll show you the number.
A recent park
What one bill turned into
August 2026, a North Texas indoor trampoline park, two meters at one address. Identity withheld; the numbers are as found.
Trampoline park — North Texas · ~390,000 kWh / year · 2 meters
7.129¢ 5.434¢ per kWh, fixed all-in
≈ $550 a month — about $6,600 a year against the rate on the bill
Both meters were quoted together on a single supply contract — one bill, one rate, terms from 12 to 60 months side by side. Priced in August for a December start, so the renewal date arrives with the next term already signed.
A real client and a real comparison; the savings compare the rate on the bill with the best all-in supplier rate quoted that day. Your result depends on your meters, usage, utility zone, and the market on the day we price it.
Why FECs
Why entertainment centers reward a real comparison
HVAC does the heavy lifting
Conditioning tens of thousands of square feet of open, high-ceiling space is the bill. When one line item dominates, a rate improvement lands almost entirely on the bottom line.
Hours that peak with the grid
Weekend afternoons and summer breaks — your busiest hours are the grid’s priciest. A fixed all-in rate turns that exposure into a number you can budget a season around.
Nobody’s watching the renewal
Operators run parties, staff, and safety — supply contracts quietly roll onto holdover rates in the background. We track the end date and start the next comparison before the window closes.
Process
One bill, then it’s our work
- 01
Send a recent bill
The quote form takes a photo or PDF, or email it to energy@rts.expert. The bill carries the meter numbers, usage history, and current supplier — everything a real comparison needs.
- 02
Get the comparison
Your meters, run against every licensed supplier we work with, across every available term — with swing clauses and pass-through charges explained in plain English.
- 03
Sign it or shelve it
If the number wins, the paperwork takes minutes and nothing about your service changes but the rate. If your current rate holds up, we say so and diary your renewal instead.
FAQ
Common questions
We have several meters — attractions on one, a tenant suite on another. Does that work?
Yes, and it’s common: the park comparison featured here covered two meters at one address, quoted together on a single supply contract with one bill. Every meter on the account goes into the same request, and combined volume often sharpens the price.
We’re a franchise location. Can we choose our own supplier?
Almost always — energy supply is usually a location-level operating decision, like any other utility. You sign with the supplier for your own meters; the franchisor isn’t involved. If your agreement says otherwise, that clause is worth two minutes on the phone.
Our contract isn’t up yet. Should we wait?
No — supply contracts can be locked months ahead with a future start date. The comparison here was priced in August for a December start. Locking early means the renewal arrives with a signed rate instead of a holdover surprise, which matters when HVAC is a top operating cost.
Does this apply outside Texas?
Any deregulated market — Texas most prominently, plus much of the northeast and midwest. If your location is in a regulated state, there’s nothing to compare and we’ll say so rather than waste your time.
What does the comparison cost?
Nothing. Suppliers pay brokers; the rate you’re quoted is the rate you pay. If your current rate is already competitive, we’ll tell you that and track your end date for next time.
Your location’s number is one bill away
The comparison is free, works in any deregulated state, and can be priced months before your current contract ends.
