Congrats! You usually dont get to choose electricity, gas, and water. You may have choice on phone, cable and internet. In that case, I'd go with the best deal for the whole bundle.

Water is usually through the city or a water district. Gas, depends on whats out there. Usually just one choice if you have it.
Electricity, you get to choose. Just research the deals online. If you see low introductory costs, read further and see if they raise later. Many do.

It's actually www.powertochoose.org
You should be getting a rate around 6.0 cents per kWh. Look at the fixed plans.
For the garage floor, I recommend porcelain tile over any of the coatings.

Huh? Did you go to powertochoose.org? Neither Reliant or Green Mountain are anywhere close to having the best rate.

Use who you want, pay what makes you happy, but none of that matters when buying electricity. None of these companies own the infrastructure; they are simply buying electricity wholesale from someone like Centerpoint, then reselling to you at a marked up rate.
