Residential Electricity Service in McKinney

If you’re planning to move to McKinney, you have the flexibility to choose from various residential electricity services in the area, including Cirro Energy, TXU Energy, and Reliant Energy. Home Energy Club offers assistance in comparing different rates in your locality, helping you find the plan that suits your budget. Once you’ve made your choice, you can request Oncor Electric Delivery to start providing electricity on your selected start date.

Move-in, Move-out, and Transfer Service

If you’re moving into or out of McKinney, you can ask your current electricity provider to stop your plan. Even if you have a long-term plan and are moving out of the area, you can cancel the service without an early termination fee.

Should your current electricity provider also serve your new city, you have the option to transfer your service. Before doing so, make sure to compare rates on Home Energy Club to secure the most affordable rate in your new zip code.

Switching Electricity Providers

If you prefer, you can switch to a different energy provider. In this case, your new electricity company will guide you through the transition from your old contract to the new one. Be cautious of early termination fees (ETFs) if you switch plans for your current home before your contract end date. The Electricity Facts Label (EFL) associated with each plan will disclose the fee for early cancellation.

To determine if switching is financially beneficial, calculate whether the savings from a much lower rate outweigh the early termination fee. Avoiding the fee is possible if you switch within 14 days of your current contract’s expiration.

Additionally, you can usually enroll in a plan weeks or months before the start date to secure the plan at the advertised rate during that time.
