Yes — most Blum addresses have smart meters, so orders placed by 5 p.m. on a business day can start the same day. Pick your start date at checkout, up to 90 days ahead.

Compare effective rates at YOUR usage, not advertised rates — fees and bill credits bend each plan differently. Check the contract length and cancellation fee, then confirm delivery charges are included. The tables on this page do all three, and checkout takes about ten minutes.

Yes. Texas law gives you a 14-day window before your contract end date to switch with NO early-termination fee. Find your end date on your bill, then shop it today — the expensive move is drifting onto a holdover rate.

It changes with your usage. The lowest effective rate we price in Blum today is 8.2¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh — but a plan that wins at 1,000 kWh can lose at 2,000. Enter your ZIP and usage to see which company is cheapest for your home.

How to find the best energy plan in Blum

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Knowing the amount of energy you will consume each month is the ideal way to find a deal on electricity in Blum. Why is this so vital?

The “price per kWh” you see energy providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (typically 2000 kWh).

Every plan has a different calculation for how your monthly statement is determined, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much energy you consume in the month.

Unless you match the exact advertised usage each month, you will end up paying a “price per kWh” different than the one you saw advertised when you enrolled.

Fortunately, there’s a better way to select your power rate.

Calculating your total monthly bill based on anticipated monthly usage, then comparing rates by the total monthly bill is the best way to shop for the best rate for you.

Even better, if you have a year of usage history for your household, you can compare plans by total annual cost. This annualized method considers the changes in usage between summer and winter months and is the absolute best way to discover the ideal electricity plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you in an instant. What takes hours inside a spreadsheet is now done in a few moments.

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of offers and assisting you step-by-step with the electricity rate plan that’s best for your home’s consumption.

We clarify the fine print, disclosing all fees, so you’ll know precisely where your money is going and what to expect on your monthly bill.

We then help you in enrolling with your selected energy provider without ever having to leave our website.

The takeaway here is you must know your expected or historical usage before selecting the right energy plan for your home.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

Suppose you recently purchased a home and cannot obtain 12 months of usage history. In that case, you can always estimate the average energy you will use in any given month.

Although knowing the previous 12 months of usage is optimum, it is far better to estimate the average energy consumption than to select the first electricity provider that you see advertised. After all, you have no idea how much energy you will use at that point.

Use Compare Power to find the best energy plan for your**specific usage.

Moving to Blum: Setting up electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Blum, to get the best rate, you need to get the previous 12 months of energy usage for your new home.

Ask the previous homeowner to provide you with their past 12 months of usage.

This information is readily found in recent billing statements.

Acquiring usage for the past 12 months may take effort, but the time (and savings) will be well worth it.

Once you have historical usage, Compare Power will do the math instantly to help you find the best plan for your home’s usage pattern.

Note: If you cannot obtain historical usage information, a second option would be to estimate your future usage using our “Help Me Choose” tool. By simply entering your zip code, the tool can assess your home’s projected electricity consumption.

Sign-up for a plan in minutes through Compare Power. We will remind you when it’s time to return to switch and save at the end of the plan length you decide on.

Switching electricity companies in Blum

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly changing, so it is essential to shop for a lower rate each year when your contract expires.

Your existing electricity company will typically raise your electricity rate once your term expires. If you do not take action, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate that is significantly higher than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, check the rates of competing energy providers.

Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars yearly on your energy bill.

Switching is easy:

When you decide to switch, your new energy provider will handle everything for you, including canceling service with your previous company.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Blum is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.

The wires and poles that deliver electricity to your home do not change when you switch electricity providers. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can choose any date up to 14 days before your current contract’s end date without an “early termination” fee. That’s Texas Law.

If you’re still under contract, check how many months remain on your contract. You can set a future start date with most companies up to 6o days in advance.

The amount saved each month by switching to a different electricity company may outweigh the one-time fee to get out of your contract early.

For help with this, you can send us your latest energy bill via email, and one of our professional team members will contact you shortly to discuss your best options.

If you’re ready to switch and want to know how to find the best plan, remember that understanding your usage is the best way to find the cheapest price.

Keep in mind that when you get ready to switch and you want to know the most efficient way to find the right plan at the best rate, it is essential that you first understand your usage. To accomplish that, you will need to collect the usage history for the past 12 months.

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Blum was founded in 1881 when the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad built through the area, and the town was named after Robert Blum, a German-American politician and railroad investor. The community quickly became a shipping point for cotton and grain from the surrounding Hill County farmland, establishing its agricultural roots that continue today.

RECENT

In 2020, Blum ISD completed a major renovation of its school facilities, including new technology infrastructure and updated classrooms, despite serving one of the smallest student populations in Texas. The district has maintained its commitment to personalized education, with a student-teacher ratio that allows for individualized attention rarely found in larger districts.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music songwriter and performer Red Steagall, who wrote hits for artists like Ray Price and was inducted into the Western Music Hall of Fame, spent part of his childhood in the Blum area. He later became the Official Cowboy Poet of Texas and has been a longtime advocate for preserving Western heritage and music traditions.

DID YOU KNOW

Blum holds the distinction of being one of the few Texas towns where the entire main street was moved in the early 1900s to accommodate railroad expansion. The original downtown was literally picked up and relocated two blocks south, with some of the original buildings still standing and operating as businesses today, creating a unique historical footprint.

CULTURAL

Despite having fewer than 500 residents, Blum maintains one of the most active volunteer fire departments per capita in Texas, with nearly 10% of the town's adult population serving as volunteer firefighters. The annual Blum Fire Department BBQ Cook-off draws visitors from across Hill County and has become a beloved tradition that brings the entire community together each fall.
