Open a checking account at the same bank as your savings account, and you should be able to transfer funds immediately and for free into checking. eChecks should be free from a checking account (from the bank’s perspective, they’re ACH (Automated Clearing House) payments). AFAIK, checking accounts are DDA (Demand Deposit Accounts), while Savings Accounts are not.
