We do not mean to sound like a broken record but electric rates in Houston are low right now because natural gas prices remain at low price levels. With the hot summer approaching we do not think that the natural gas in storage will remain in large quantities and this means electric rates will be coming back up. In order to avoid waiting and signing up at 15 cents per kWh we recommend locking into a 1 year rate while prices are between 10 – 11 cents per kWh in the Houston area.
Once you find the right company and electric rate term you will want to click on the available sign up link and sign up online for the discount electricity offer. The Texas electric providers on our site disclose all fees and charges and you will not need to worry about being tricked or gimmicked into a misleading rate quote. There are no fuel surcharges or TDSP charges being left out of the rate. The providers even go so far to show you any and all monthly meter fees and most will even average these fees into the rate so you have absolutely no doubt what your Houston electric rate will be.
Examples of Houston Electric Companies That Can Be Trusted
For example, Champion Energy averages the monthly service fees into their fixed rate and makes this charge available on every page of the rate disclosure when signing up for electric service. It becomes extremely difficult to sign up with them and think you are going to be charged anything other than what they made clearly available to you.
Startex Power lists their monthly meter charge as $4.99 if you use under 500 kWh a month. As long as you are over this amount you pay only their fixed electric rate and will not have to worry about a monthly service charge. Champion and Startex are very good about disclosing all fees on their websites so that nothing distracts the customer from the actual electricity rate they will see on their bill.
Bounce Energy explains a detailed description of their no contract rates as well as the electric rates they have fixed. Bounce has several alternative plans that will lock rates into a fixed rate in the summer but leave them variable the rest of the year. This type of rate allows low credit score customers or customers needing to sign up for a short term and then cancel to avoid early termination penalties. By signing up on a variable electric rate that has no cancellation penalty you have the flexibility of changing providers if you move homes or apartments. Bounce represents the most flexible option for those wanting a no contract or no deposit rate and they are very good about detailing out any and all charges.
