How to find the best energy plan in Christoval

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Determining the amount of energy you will use each month is the best way to find a deal on energy in Christoval. Why is this so vital?

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

Every plan uses a different calculation for how your monthly statement is calculated, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much power you use in a 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.

Thankfully, there’s a better way to choose your energy company.

Calculating your total monthly bill based on expected 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 12 months of usage history for your household, you can compare plans by total annual cost. This annualized method considers the changes in usage between the summer and winter months and is the ideal way to find 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 calculations across hundreds of plans and guiding you to the energy rate plan that’s best for your home’s consumption.

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

We then assist you in signing up with your selected electricity company without ever having to leave our service.

The takeaway here is you must understand your expected or historical usage before picking the best electricity plan for your home.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

Suppose you recently purchased a home or business 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.

While not as optimal as having all the previous 12 months of usage, estimating your average usage is better than blindly choosing the first plan you see advertised by an energy company at a specific usage that isn’t what you’ll consume.

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

Moving to Christoval: Setting up electricity

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

By signing up for a plan through Compare Power, you will receive automated reminders when renewing your existing plan or possibly switching plans.

Switching electricity companies in Christoval

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

Your existing energy provider will typically raise your energy rate once your contract expires. If you fail to take action, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate that is significantly more than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, check the rates of competing electricity companies.

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

Switching is easy:

When you make the switch, your new electricity provider will handle everything for you, including canceling service with your previous company.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Christoval 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 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. That’s Texas Law.

If you’re still under contract, find out 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.

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.

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 best 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

Christoval was founded in 1889 as a health resort town centered around natural mineral springs that were believed to have healing properties. The town was named after Christopher Columbus (Cristo-val meaning 'Christ-bearer'), and wealthy Texans would travel by train from across the state to 'take the waters' at the elaborate Christoval Hotel and Sanitarium that featured Turkish baths and mineral water treatments.

RECENT

In 2019, Christoval completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Main Street and created new walking trails connecting the town to the South Concho River. The project has attracted new businesses and helped transform the small community into a popular weekend destination for San Angelo residents seeking outdoor recreation.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music songwriter and performer Red Steagall, who penned hits for artists like Ray Price and George Strait, spent significant time in Christoval during his youth. Steagall later became the official Cowboy Poet of Texas and credits the rural Concho Valley landscape around Christoval as inspiration for many of his Western-themed songs and poems.

DID YOU KNOW

Christoval sits on one of the largest underground freshwater springs in West Texas, producing over 40 million gallons of crystal-clear water daily that maintains a constant 72-degree temperature year-round. The spring-fed South Concho River that flows through town has never gone dry, even during the most severe droughts, making it a crucial water source for the entire region and creating a unique oasis ecosystem in the semi-arid landscape.

CULTURAL

Every October, Christoval hosts the annual 'Concho Valley Days' festival that celebrates the town's unique German-Mexican heritage with traditional polka music, authentic tamales, and schnitzel served side by side. The festival features the unusual tradition of 'spring blessing,' where local ministers from different denominations jointly bless the mineral springs that founded the town, continuing a ceremony that dates back over 100 years.
