Oncor owns and maintains the poles, wires, and meters in Carrollton. Whichever plan you pick, Oncor still delivers the power and restores outages — switching providers never changes your wires.

Yes — most Carrollton 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 Carrollton today is 6.8¢ 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 Carrollton

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Knowing your exact monthly usage simplifies the energy shopping process in Carrollton. This information is important because energy companies use a standardized price per kWh rate to provide their quotes.

The bottom line is that unless your house uses this exact amount of kWh each month, your bill will vary from the quoted price.

There is a better way to find energy plans in Carrollton.

Compare Power uses your zip code and monthly usage rate to find plans that meet your energy needs. The site uses your actual usage to create customized quotes rather than relying on the one-size approach offered by energy companies.

The search process takes a few seconds, so you can find your next energy provider and complete your sign-up in a few moments. Compare Power allows users to complete registration without leaving the site.

From finding quotes to your plan selection, you can eliminate hours of research and calculation using Compare Power. You will also see all of the fees and taxes applied to your new account without having to read the fine print. All you need is your previous year’s worth of electrical usage.

If you don’t know your usage, take your best guess

New homeowners or those who can’t obtain actual usage for the previous year should estimate their usage in a typical month.

This isn’t the best approach but it is better than selecting the first plan you see and finding that your bill is higher than your previous energy contract.

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

Moving to Carrollton: Setting up electricity

Important: If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Carrollton, you need to get the previous year of energy usage for your new home.

Ask the previous homeowner to provide you with their past 12 months of usage. This information can be found in recent billing statements.

It may take some effort to acquire usage for the past 12 months, but the time and savings will be well worth it.

Compare Power will calculate the numbers instantly to help you find the best plan for your home’s usage pattern.

Note: If you can’t obtain usage history, you can estimate your monthly usage instead. Utilize the “Help Me Choose” tool when you enter your zip code below to receive help evaluating your usage.

Sign up for a plan instantly through Compare Power. The site reminds you when it is time to come back to switch your plan.

Switching electricity companies in Carrollton

Choosing a new electric provider can be beneficial. Because market conditions change day to day, it is necessary to shop for a better price each year toward the end of your contract.

Your existing electricity company will typically increase your electricity rate as your contract expires.

Before renewing your current contract, shop around for better deals from other providers. Switching your provider can save significant amounts of money on your energy bill.

Switching is easy:

When you switch providers, your new company will handle everything for you including canceling your former plan. You won’t experience a loss of power because the wires and poles delivering power to your home do not change.

Texas law allows you to cancel your power plan within 14 days of your contract’s end without an early cancellation policy. It’s possible to set a future start date with most providers within 60 days of the end of your contract.

Even if you have more than 60 days on your contract, it’s possible that switching providers and paying a fee is more cost-effective than staying with an expensive plan. If you are unsure, email us your latest energy bill and one of our team members will get back to you promptly with your best options.

To get started, all you need is your household power usage for the past year to get the best quotes.

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Carrollton was founded in 1842 by Jared Ford and named after Carrollton, Illinois, his former hometown. The settlement began as a trading post along the old Shawnee Trail, where cattle drives from South Texas would cross Elm Fork of the Trinity River, making it a crucial stop for cowboys and merchants traveling between Texas and northern markets.

RECENT

In 2020, Carrollton completed construction of the $23 million Rosemeade Rainwater Harvesting Facility, one of the largest municipal rainwater harvesting systems in North Texas. The innovative facility can capture and treat up to 2 million gallons of stormwater daily, reducing flood risks while providing an alternative water source for the city's growing population.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music superstar Kelly Clarkson, the first winner of American Idol, grew up in nearby Burleson but got her start performing at local venues in the Carrollton area during her teenage years. She often credits the supportive North Texas music community, including venues in Carrollton, for helping her develop the confidence that led to her eventual stardom.

DID YOU KNOW

Carrollton is home to the world's largest collection of vintage pinball machines at the National Videogame Museum's sister facility. The private collection contains over 400 working pinball machines dating from the 1930s to present day, including extremely rare prototypes that were never released to the public, making it a pilgrimage site for pinball enthusiasts worldwide.

CULTURAL

Carrollton hosts the annual Festival at the Switchyard every October, celebrating the city's railroad heritage with live music, food trucks, and vintage train displays. The festival takes place at the historic Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad depot, and features a unique 'Rail Stomp' dance competition where participants must perform choreographed routines to the rhythm of train sounds, creating a distinctly Carrollton tradition that draws visitors from across the region.
