Factors to consider when choosing an electricity plan

When comparing electricity plans in Irving, several factors should be considered to determine the plan that best suits your needs. Keep the following in mind before signing up for a plan:

Fixed vs. variable rates:

A fixed-rate plan locks in your rate for anywhere from 12–36 months, helping you budget more easily for your electricity bills. However, you’ll pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel before the contract ends without moving out of the service area. Variable plans allow you to cancel at any time, but your rate can fluctuate from month to month due to changes in the broader energy market.

Plan length:

Longer contracts may get you a lower rate, but you’ll also be on the hook for a larger ETF if you cancel early. Consider the rate as well as how long you want to stay with that specific electricity plan in Irving. Some plans don’t have plan lengths, including variable-rate plans and no-deposit plans like prepaid plans.

Same-day energy deadlines:

Most Irving, Texas, electricity providers offer same-day connections, allowing you to get your lights on quickly, especially with smart meters. However, there is often a specific time you need to activate your new plan by. Please call us to learn more about same-day electricity.

Renewable energy options:

Some providers offer renewable energy certificates (RECs) from solar or wind sources as a way to offset your carbon footprint and make your energy usage more sustainable. Gexa Energy offers electric plans sourced from 100% renewable energy, while TXU Energy offers a variety of plans largely powered by green energy.

Electricity Facts Label (EFL):

Every plan comes with an EFL, which is an important document that details your rates at various usage levels, any utility company charges, green energy content, ETFs, and more. Always review your EFL carefully before choosing a plan. You can access the EFL of any plan you’re interested in by entering your ZIP code on our marketplace, clicking on “more details,” and clicking on “plan documents.”

Your usage needs:

Many Irving electricity plans offer varying rates based on your monthly energy usage. Identifying your usage patterns by reviewing the last year of your electricity bills to get an idea of your energy consumption across every season. Then, select a plan and rate that works for your needs.

When is the best time to shop for an Irving energy plan?

Typically, the spring and fall seasons are when you are likely to find the most affordable electricity rates in Irving. During these periods, lower demand usually leads to reduced prices, so our experts recommend signing up for a new plan during these milder periods. Meanwhile, the summer heat leads to an increase in electricity demand, resulting in higher prices.

How can I lower my electricity bill in Irving?

To lower your electricity bills, start by reducing your electricity consumption. Implement energy-saving practices like sealing drafty areas in your home, lowering the temperature on your water heater, turning up the AC temperature in the summer and lowering your thermostat in the winter, and using cold water for laundry. Additionally, consider exploring ways to lower your energy bill by switching providers to a cheaper plan.

How does weather affect energy usage?

Yes, extreme hot or cold weather conditions often lead to increased usage of HVAC systems for cooling or heating homes. This drives up energy demand and causes electricity rates to spike. Conversely, during milder temperatures, demand decreases, leading to potentially lower rates. Keep these weather trends in mind when planning your move or switching to a new energy provider in Irving.
