How to find the best energy plan in Clifton

#1 rule: Usage is king!

Determining the amount of electricity you will use month-to-month is the ideal way to find a deal on energy in Clifton. Why is this important?

The rate you see energy providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (typically 1000 kWh).

Every plan has a different equation for how your monthly statement is calculated, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much energy you consume each month.

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

Thankfully, there’s a better way to choose your electricity rate.

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

Even better, 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 months and is the best way to determine the ideal electricity plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you instantly. What takes hours on a spreadsheet is now done in just seconds.

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

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

We then assist you in signing up with your chosen electricity company without leaving our website.

The takeaway here is you should understand your expected or historical usage before choosing the right 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 shop for the best electricity plan for your**specific usage.

Moving to Clifton: Setting up electricity

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

It may take some effort to acquire usage for the past 12 months, 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 are unable to obtain historical usage information, a second option would be to estimate your future usage via utilizing our “Help Me Choose” tool. By simply entering your zip code, the tool will be able to 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 term you decide on.

Switching electricity companies in Clifton

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

Your existing electricity company will typically raise your electricity rate once your contract expires. If you do not 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, 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 handle everything for you, including terminating service with your previous company.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Clifton 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 companies. 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 cancellation” 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 companies up to 6o days in advance.

And even if you’re well inside your contract, savings achieved on your monthly bill by switching companies may outweigh the fee of breaking 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 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

Clifton was founded in 1853 by Norwegian immigrants who were among the first Scandinavian settlers in Texas. These hardy pioneers were drawn to the area by land agent Johan Reinert Reiersen, who promoted Texas as the 'promised land' for Norwegian families seeking religious freedom and economic opportunity in America.

RECENT

In 2018, Clifton completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic limestone buildings dating back to the 1880s. The $2.3 million project transformed the town square into a vibrant community gathering place with new sidewalks, period lighting, and landscaping that celebrates the city's Norwegian heritage.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Clifton is the birthplace of Clint Bowyer, NASCAR Cup Series driver who won multiple races and finished second in the championship standings in 2012. Bowyer grew up racing go-karts at the local track and often returns to Clifton for community events, crediting his small-town upbringing for keeping him grounded throughout his professional racing career.

DID YOU KNOW

Clifton is home to the oldest Norwegian settlement in Texas and still celebrates its heritage with an annual Norse Country Christmas festival featuring authentic Scandinavian foods, crafts, and traditions. The town's historic district features several buildings constructed with local limestone quarried by Norwegian stonemasons, including a replica stave church that serves as a museum and cultural center.

CULTURAL

Every December, Clifton transforms into a 'Norwegian Christmas Village' complete with traditional Nordic decorations, lutefisk dinners, and rosemaling demonstrations. The celebration draws thousands of visitors who come to experience authentic Scandinavian holiday traditions, including the lighting of a massive Christmas tree in the town square and performances by local musicians playing traditional Norwegian folk songs.
