On Choose Energy’s marketplace, you’ll find many electricity plan options to choose from in Weslaco. If you aren’t sure how to pick the right one, consider these important factors first:

• Fixed vs. variable rates: When you sign up for a fixed-rate plan, your energy rate won’t change while you’re under contract. However, the rate on a variable-rate plan fluctuates based on the wholesale price of electricity, so it can change each month.
• Plan length: A fixed-rate plan will include a set contract, which usually ranges from 12 to 36 months. If you cancel before the term ends, you’ll have to pay an early termination fee (ETF). Variable-rate plans have no contracts or ETFs, so you can cancel or change providers at any point.
• Same-day energy deadlines: Need power quickly? Many Weslaco electricity providers offer same-day electricity connections, as long as you sign up by a certain cut-off time. To learn more about this service, contact us at the number on your screen.
• Renewable energy options: You can find green energy plans from several energy companies in Weslaco, including Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy. Some of these plans include power generated from renewable sources (like solar and wind), while others use renewable energy credits (RECs) to offset your electricity consumption.
• Electricity Facts Label (EFL): Before picking a plan, read through its EFL carefully. In this document, you’ll find essential plan details, including the contract term length, rate, fees, and more.
• Your usage needs: It’s a good idea to figure out your typical monthly electricity usage before selecting a plan. This is important because many plans have multiple electricity rates depending on how much power you use. By understanding your habits, you can pick the right plan for your household.

How can I lower my electricity bill?

There are a number of ways to reduce your electric bill, including installing a smart thermostat, using LED light bulbs, sealing drafty areas in your home, and shopping around for a cheaper energy plan. You can also call our energy team for advice.

How does weather affect energy usage?

When the weather is extremely hot or cold, more people use energy to run their HVAC systems and keep their homes comfortable. As demand increases, electricity prices tend to rise. If you’re hoping to find a cheap rate, consider shopping for plans in spring or fall, when energy demand (and prices) are generally lower.
