Frequently Asked Questions about Houston Electricity Plans
Yes, you can choose your energy provider in Houston. Get help understanding the energy market and how choice works in the Texas Energy Plan Guide. You can choose more than just your provider — you also can choose from plans that include fixed-rate plans, 100% renewable plans and even plans to charge your EV.
The market for electricity providers in Houston is competitive, with all of the companies trying hard to earn your business by providing options that best suit your energy needs.
The cheapest electricity rates in Houston for you will depend on your usage patterns and levels and other factors unique to you. For example, you might value the benefit of locking in a rate that doesn’t go up and down by the season and by market demand. If the amount of electricity you use changes by the time of day or the day of the week, a time-of-use plan may be more economical. You could also save when charging your electric vehicle through an EV charging plan with lower overnight rates.
In addition to offering you competitive rates and contract options, Texas electric companies work hard to provide excellent customer service and get a good reputation. When deciding which one is right for you, value-added additional services and customer benefits are also worth considering. The best electricity company in Houston is the one that gives you the best rates, terms and service for your energy needs.
It is easy to set up electricity in Houston. Our Texas Energy Plan Guide can help you with the details. Once you have shopped around and found the plan that is right for you, you can set up service online or by calling customer service. After selecting your plan and terms, specify your service address and the date you want service to start. Just provide your billing information and you’re done.
When switching providers in Houston, your service will not be interrupted. Once you’ve scheduled a switch, you get electricity service without any breaks. And after you enroll, you don’t have to do anything. Your provider takes care of the details.
Our Houston customers have the benefit of choosing among a variety of plans, including renewable energy plans. Explore your options on the Texas Renewable Energy Plans from Constellation page. You will see 100% renewable source fixed-rate plans and ways to reduce your carbon footprint when you choose a 100% renewable EV charging plan.
No, it’s easy to switch electric companies in Houston. Simply sign up online or call our customer care team at 888-900-7052, and we'll notify your current provider that you are switching to Constellation.
If you have a smart meter, and you sign up before 6:30 pm Monday through Saturday, your switch could be completed in the same day. Most switches are completed in less than a week.
You won’t experience any service interruptions. In fact, the only thing you may notice is a lower energy bill!
We understand that your family may be on a budget and therefore pay close attention to how much energy you're using. We send alerts to you when your electricity usage is spiking. We also send you weekly usage emails, so you can see how much you're using week to week. Included in those emails are estimated bill predictions, so you have a sense of what your monthly bill will cost.
Power companies traditionally bill customers based on the amount of electricity used over a given time period. Such a process can make it difficult to estimate your energy costs from one month to the next. With a fixed-rate electricity plan from Constellation, you pay the same supply rate for the duration of your contract. Locking in energy rates can help you budget by protecting against periods of high demand, like a hot Houston summer, that could cause energy prices to go up.
As a Constellation customer in Houston, you will not be charged any additional fees when you pay your bill on time each month. You will be charged your fixed supply rate plus your utility fees and charges. Those utility fees, includiing a distribution charge, are set by your utility company, and all providers are legally required to charge the same fees each month. You may also be charged state and local taxes, both of which are set by your local and state government.
In most cases, if you sign up for electricity service before 5 pm CT on a weekday, your service can start the same day. Learn more about same-day electricty service in Houston.
