Yes — most Byers 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 Byers 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 Byers

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Determining how much electricity you will consume month-to-month is the ideal way to find a deal on electricity in Byers. Why is this important?

The “price per kWh” you see power providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (typically 1000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different equation for how your monthly statement is computed, and your monthly bill will be determined by how much energy you consume in a month.

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

Fortunately, there’s a better way to select your energy plan.

Calculating your expected monthly bill based on estimated monthly usage, then comparing rates with the total monthly bill is the best way to shop for the lowest rate for your household.

Better yet, if you have a year of usage history for your home, you can compare plans by total annual cost. This annualized method considers the changes in usage between the summer and winter and is the ideal way to discover the perfect energy 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 just moments.

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of plans and assisting you step-by-step with the energy plan that’s best for your household’s consumption.

We clarify the details, disclosing all fees, so you’ll know exactly where your money is going and what to anticipate on your bill.

We then assist you in ordering your plan with your chosen energy company without leaving our service.

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

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

If you cannot acquire 12 months of historical usage, or you’re the owner of a brand new home, the next best thing is to estimate how much energy you will use in an average 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 Byers: Setting up electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Byers, 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 Byers

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

Your existing energy provider will generally raise your energy rate once your term expires. If you do not take action, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate significantly more than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, shop the rates of competing electricity 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 company will take care of everything for you, including canceling service with your previous company.

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

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

You can pick any date up to 14 days early from your current contract’s end date without an “early termination” fee. Texas law protects you here.

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

And even if you’re well inside your contract, savings achieved on your monthly bill by switching providers may outweigh the fee to break your existing contract.

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 knowing your usage is the best way to find the lowest rate.

You will want to find your historical usage for the past 12 months to determine your household’s best plan with the lowest rate.

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Byers was founded in 1882 as a railroad town along the Fort Worth and Denver Railway, named after Noah Byers, a local landowner who donated land for the railroad right-of-way. The town quickly became a shipping point for cattle and cotton from the surrounding Red River Valley, serving as a vital link between North Texas ranches and markets in Fort Worth and beyond.

RECENT

In 2020, Byers completed a major infrastructure improvement project that upgraded the city's water treatment facility and replaced aging water lines throughout the community. The $1.2 million project was funded through a combination of state grants and local bonds, ensuring reliable water service for residents and supporting potential future growth in this small Clay County community.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Byers was the childhood home of legendary rodeo cowboy Jim Shoulders, who became one of the most successful rodeo competitors in history with 16 world championships. Shoulders, known as the 'Babe Ruth of Rodeo,' won five All-Around Cowboy titles and 11 bareback riding championships between 1949 and 1959, putting this tiny Texas town on the map in professional rodeo circles.

DID YOU KNOW

Byers holds the unusual distinction of being one of the few Texas towns where the railroad tracks run directly down the middle of Main Street, with businesses and homes on both sides. This unique layout was created because the original surveyor made an error in 1882, placing the town plat directly over the planned railroad route, but residents decided to build around the tracks rather than relocate the entire town.

CULTURAL

Every October, Byers hosts the annual 'Rails and Tales Festival' that celebrates the town's railroad heritage with vintage train displays, storytelling sessions about the old days, and a community barbecue held right on Main Street between the railroad tracks. The festival draws visitors from across North Texas who come to experience this authentic slice of small-town railroad history, complete with occasional freight trains rumbling through during the festivities.
