Houston is fully deregulated. You can choose from 50+ electricity providers. Most Houston homeowners are overpaying because they've never switched from their default provider.
Summer bills are brutal. Houston averages 98°F+ in July-August. A 2,000 sq ft home uses 2,000–2,500 kWh/month in summer. At 12¢/kWh, that's $240–$300/month in usage alone.
Lock in a rate before summer. Fixed-rate plans protect you from spikes. Variable plans can hit 25-30¢/kWh during heat waves — triple your normal rate.
CenterPoint delivers electricity to most of Houston. The utility that delivers power doesn't change when you switch providers — only the bill you receive changes.
