Residential Electricity Service in Katy

For those relocating to Katy, a variety of residential electricity companies in Katy are available to cater to your area. Prominent providers include Cirro Energy, TXU Energy, and Reliant Energy. Utilize Home Energy Club to efficiently compare different rates in your vicinity and, once you find a plan aligning with your budget, you can request Centerpoint Energy to begin delivering electricity on your chosen start date.

Move-in, Move-out, and Transfer Service

If you intend to move into or out of Katy, you can simply request your current electricity provider to halt your current plan. If you are moving out of the area but still have a long-term plan, you can cancel the service without incurring an early termination fee.

If your current provider also serves your new city, you have the option to transfer your service. Before making the transfer, it’s recommended to use Home Energy Club to compare rates and secure the most affordable rate for your new zip code.

Switching Electricity Providers

Alternatively, you may decide to switch energy providers. In this case, your new electricity company will assist you in transitioning from your old contract to the new one. However, it’s essential to be cautious of early termination fees (ETFs) if you are switching plans for your current home before the contract end date.

The Electricity Facts Label (EFL) associated with each plan discloses the fee for early cancellation. To determine if it’s advantageous to switch, you’ll need to calculate whether the potential savings from a lower rate outweigh the ETF.

By waiting until 14 days before your current contract expires, you can avoid the early termination fee. Additionally, you can often enroll in a plan weeks or months ahead of the start date to lock in the advertised rate at that time.
