Factors to consider when choosing an electricity plan
When shopping for electricity plans in Carrollton, you’ll find a variety of rate types, contract terms, and plan features to choose from. Some providers even offer no-deposit or prepaid plans. If you’re new to Texas’ deregulated market, the options may seem overwhelming at first — but knowing the basics can help you pick the plan that fits your home or business best.
Fixed vs. variable rates:
With a fixed-rate plan, your price per kWh stays consistent for the entire contract term, offering protection from market swings and making it easier to predict monthly costs. A variable-rate plan, on the other hand, changes with energy market conditions — you might save when demand is low but pay more during high-demand months.
Plan length:
Pay close attention to the contract term, which usually ranges from 12 to 36 months. Longer contracts lock in your rate and provide price stability, while shorter ones offer more flexibility to switch providers. Ending a contract early can trigger an early termination fee (ETF) unless you’re moving outside your provider’s service area.
Same-day energy deadlines:
Many electricity providers in Carrollton can start your service the same day you request it, especially if your home has a smart meter already installed. However, keep in mind that most companies have a daily cutoff time for same-day activation. To confirm availability and timing, call us to help you find providers offering same-day electricity in your area.
Renewable energy options:
Many electricity providers in Carrollton include renewable energy in their plans through renewable energy certificates (RECs) that match your usage with clean power from wind or solar sources. If you want to go fully green, shop for 100% renewable plans that help reduce your carbon footprint and support Texas’ growing clean energy industry.
Electricity Facts Label (EFL):
Before signing up for an electricity plan in Carrollton, review the Electricity Facts Label (EFL). This document outlines key details like your plan’s electricity rate, contract length, fees, and percentage of renewable energy.
Your usage needs:
Review past bills or smart meter data to find out how much energy you typically use each month. Matching your plan to your usage level helps you avoid overpaying and ensures you get the best value for your energy needs.
