Yes — most Emhouse 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 Emhouse 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 Emhouse

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Knowing how much electricity you will consume in a month is the best way to find a deal on energy in Emhouse. Why is this so vital?

You see energy providers advertising the “price per kWh” for an exact monthly usage (usually 1000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different equation for how your monthly statement is computed, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much electricity you use in the month.

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

Fortunately, there’s a better way to choose your power provider.

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

Even better, if you have 12 months 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 perfect energy rate plan for your home.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you in an instant. What takes hours on a spreadsheet is now solved 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 electricity 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 expect on your monthly bill.

We then assist you in signing up with your chosen energy company without ever having to leave our website.

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

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

If you recently purchased a home or business, or you cannot obtain 12 months of usage history, you can always estimate the average amount of energy that 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 picking the first plan you see advertised by an electricity provider at a specific usage that isn’t what you’ll consume.

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

Moving to Emhouse: Setting up electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Emhouse, 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 can’t obtain a usage history, you can estimate your monthly usage instead. Utilize our “Help Me Choose” tool when you enter your zip code below, and we’ll help you evaluate your home’s usage.

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

Switching electricity companies in Emhouse

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

Your existing energy provider will typically raise your electricity rate once your term expires. If you fail to 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 energy companies.

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

Switching is easy:

When you switch, your new electricity provider will handle everything, including terminating your previous company’s service.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Emhouse 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 electricity providers. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can pick any date within 14 days of your contract expiration date without an “early termination” fee. Texas law protects you here.

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.

If you are unsure, email us your latest energy bill, and one of our team members will respond promptly with 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 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

Emhouse was established in the 1880s as a railroad town along the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad line. The community was named after early settler Em House, who operated a general store and post office that served as the social and economic center for surrounding farms and ranches in southeastern Navarro County.

RECENT

In 2020, Emhouse completed a major water system upgrade project that replaced aging infrastructure and improved water quality for all residents. The $400,000 project included new water lines, upgraded pumping equipment, and a modernized water treatment facility that ensures reliable service for the growing community.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

While Emhouse itself hasn't produced major celebrities, the town sits just 15 miles from Corsicana, birthplace of legendary blues guitarist Blind Lemon Jefferson. Many residents take pride in their connection to this musical heritage, and Jefferson's influence on Texas blues can still be felt throughout the region today.

DID YOU KNOW

Despite having fewer than 250 residents, Emhouse maintains its own municipal government and city services, making it one of the smallest incorporated cities in Texas. The entire city council often meets in the mayor's living room when the tiny city hall is being used for other community functions, creating an unusually intimate form of local democracy.

CULTURAL

Emhouse hosts an annual 'Small Town, Big Heart' community day every October that draws visitors from across Navarro County. The event features a potluck dinner where every family contributes a dish, live music on the city hall steps, and a tradition where longtime residents share stories about the town's history with newcomers and visitors.
