Medical offices, dental offices, clinics, and outpatient centers carry electricity loads that far exceed those of a typical commercial office of similar square footage. Medical imaging equipment — X-ray, MRI, CT scanners — draws significant power during operation. Sterilization equipment runs repeated cycles throughout the day. HVAC systems must maintain precise temperature and filtration standards for clinical environments, which requires more sophisticated and energy-intensive systems than standard commercial HVAC. Extended patient care hours and life-safety systems that run continuously add further load. Most healthcare facilities have never shopped their electricity rate in Texas's deregulated market and are paying significantly above-market prices.

Yes. Switching retail electricity providers in Texas's deregulated ERCOT market does not cause any interruption to electrical service. The physical delivery of electricity through the utility's wires is unchanged by a supplier switch — you simply receive a better rate through a new retail contract. The transition is handled electronically and is completely transparent to clinic operations, patients, and staff. Lee Multi-Services manages the entire switch process so there is nothing for your facility team to coordinate.

Most healthcare facilities benefit from fixed-rate electricity contracts because consistent operating expense management is essential for practice profitability and financial planning. Medical equipment creates significant power loads that cannot be reduced during high-price hours, which means indexed pricing exposes healthcare facilities to wholesale price spikes without any ability to respond. A fixed rate locks your generation cost per kWh for the full contract term, giving you a stable energy line item that supports accurate practice-level budgeting.

Yes. Medical groups, dental service organizations, and healthcare management companies with multiple clinic locations across Texas can aggregate all facilities under a single master electricity agreement. The combined load volume gives suppliers more to price competitively, resulting in lower per-kWh rates for every location in the portfolio. Lee Multi-Services also aligns all contract expiration dates so your administrative team manages one renewal event rather than tracking individual clinic contracts.
