This deregulation promotes competitive pricing, enabling residents to find the best energy options for their homes and budgeting needs.

To find the cheapest energy rate for your home, you can compare top Texas energy companies and plans on Home Energy Club.

Residential Electricity Service in Plano

If you are planning to move to Plano, you have various residential electricity services available in the area, such as Cirro Energy, TXU Energy, and Reliant Energy. To find a residential electricity service, Home Energy Club can assist you in comparing different Plano electricity rates in your area. Once you find a plan that fits your budget, you can request Oncor Electric Delivery to start delivering electricity on your chosen start date.

Move-in, Move-out, and Transfer Service

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

If your electricity provider also serves your new city, you can transfer your service. Before transferring, use Home Energy Club to compare rates and ensure you receive the most affordable rate in your new zip code.

Switching Electricity Providers

Alternatively, you may choose 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, if you decide to switch plans for your current home before your contract end date, be aware of early termination fees (ETFs).

The Electricity Facts Label (EFL) associated with each plan discloses the fee you’ll need to pay if you cancel early. If you find a plan with a significantly lower rate than what you’re currently paying, it may be beneficial to pay the early termination fee and switch, but it’s important to calculate the costs beforehand.

Waiting until 14 days before your current contract expires allows you to avoid the fee. Additionally, you can usually enroll in a plan weeks or months in advance to secure the advertised rate at that time.
