Energy Price Trends in Pasadena

This deregulation fosters a competitive pricing environment, empowering residents to select the energy provider and plan that best suits their home and budgetary requirements.

For an easy comparison of top Texas energy companies and plans, you can turn to Home Energy Club to find the most affordable energy rates for your home.

Centerpoint’s Move-in, Move-out, and Transfer

Centerpoint, the transmission and distribution utility (TDU) for Pasadena, takes care of power delivery and manages power outages in the area. Despite choosing your preferred electricity provider, Centerpoint remains responsible for these essential services.

Residential Electricity Service in Pasadena

Relocating to Pasadena opens up various residential electricity service options, such as Cirro Energy, TXU Energy, and Reliant Energy. To simplify the decision-making process and compare rates in your area, Home Energy Club is there to assist you.

Once you’ve chosen a Pasadena electric company and plan that aligns with your budget, you can request Centerpoint to begin delivering electricity on your desired start date.

Move-in, Move-out, and Transfer Service

Whether you’re moving in or out of Pasadena, you have flexibility in managing your electricity service. If you’re leaving the area, you can ask your current electricity provider to terminate your plan without incurring an early termination fee for long-term plans.

Alternatively, if your current provider also operates in your new city, you have the option to transfer your service. To ensure you get the best rate for your new zip code, it’s advisable to compare rates using Home Energy Club before making any decisions.

Switching Electricity Providers

Switching energy providers is possible, and your new electricity company will assist you in transitioning from your old contract to the new one. However, keep in mind that switching plans for your current home before the contract end date might involve early termination fees (ETFs).

The Electricity Facts Label (EFL) for each plan will disclose the fee you’ll need to pay if you decide to cancel early. If you find a plan with a significantly lower rate than your current one, it might be financially beneficial to pay the early termination fee and switch, but it’s essential to do the math first. Waiting until 14 days before your current contract expires allows you to avoid the early termination fee. Additionally, you can often enroll in a plan weeks or months before the start date to secure the plan at the advertised rate at that time.

For more helpful information on moving to Texas or switching providers see our Electricity Shopping Guide.

Why is my Pasadena energy bill so high?

To understand why your energy bill might be higher than expected, visit the Home Energy Club website for side-by-side comparisons of vetted energy plans. Some possible reasons for a high energy bill include:

• Efficiency issues: Lack of proper insulation and sealing in areas like doors, windows, and attics can lead to higher energy costs. Improving efficiency can help reduce expenses.
• Expiration of fixed-rate plans: If you’re on a fixed-price plan and it expires, your costs may increase if you don’t renew or switch plans before the termination date.
• Increased rates: Variable-rate plans can result in increased costs if your provider raises the rates.
• Energy usage: Choosing an energy plan that aligns with your residence size and usage needs is crucial to avoid paying more than necessary.
• Seasonal changes: In non-fixed-rate plans, your energy costs may rise during the summer or winter months due to seasonal fluctuations.
