The plans and prices offered to a home change from one Houston ZIP to the next, and they also depend on how much power that home actually uses. An apartment in The Heights and a house in Katy or Sugar Land draw very different amounts of electricity, so the plan that wins for one can be the wrong pick for the other.
That is why a single "Houston average" rate misleads you. The honest number is the one tied to your address and your usage, which is exactly what you see when you enter your ZIP and choose house or apartment.
Compare these on the Electricity Facts Label for each plan before you enroll, so you are comparing the same things side by side.
Retail providers set the plans and prices they offer at the ZIP level, and availability can change from one Houston neighborhood to the next. Entering your ZIP shows the real plans at your address instead of a citywide average.
Often, yes. The plan that costs the least depends on how much electricity your home uses, and an apartment usually uses far less than a house. That is why you choose house or apartment when you compare, so the rate you see matches your real usage level.
No. CenterPoint keeps delivering power without interruption while your new plan simply begins billing. There is nothing to install and no day without electricity.
No. Comparing plans and getting help from Energy Direct is free. You enroll directly in the plan you choose.
