How to find the best energy plan in Fort Davis

#1 rule: Usage is key!

Determining the amount of electricity you will consume in a month is the best way to find a deal on power in Fort Davis. Why is this so vital?

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

Every plan has a different equation for how your monthly bill is determined, and your monthly bill will be determined by how much electricity you use in the month.

Unless you use the advertised amount each month, you will end up paying a “price per kWh” different than what you observed when you enrolled.

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

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 best rate.

Better still, 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 right electricity rate plan for your home.

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

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

We clarify the fine print, 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 enrolling with your selected energy provider without ever having to leave our service.

The takeaway here is you should determine your expected or historical usage before ordering the best 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 choosing the first plan you see advertised by an energy provider 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 Fort Davis: Setting up electricity

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

By signing up for a plan through Compare Power, you will receive automated reminders when it’s time to renew your existing plan or possibly switch plans.

Switching electricity companies in Fort Davis

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

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

Before renewing your contract, shop the rates of competing energy 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 terminating service with your previous company.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Fort Davis 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 up to 14 days before your current contract’s end date without an “early cancellation” 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 providers 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 would like to know how to find the best plan remember that knowing your usage is the best way to find the truly best rate.

You will want to gather your historical usage for the last 12 months to determine the best plan with the lowest rate for your household.

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Fort Davis was established in 1854 as a military outpost to protect travelers and mail coaches on the San Antonio-El Paso Road from Apache and Comanche raids. Named after Jefferson Davis, who was Secretary of War before becoming President of the Confederacy, the fort was strategically positioned in a box canyon of the Davis Mountains and served as home to the famous Buffalo Soldiers of the 10th Cavalry Regiment.

RECENT

In 2020, Fort Davis was designated as the world's first International Dark Sky Community, recognizing its exceptional commitment to preserving the natural night environment. The town worked for over a decade to retrofit all outdoor lighting with dark-sky friendly fixtures, making it a premier destination for astronomers and stargazers from around the globe.

OTHER

FAMOUS PEOPLE/EVENTS: Fort Davis is home to the McDonald Observatory, operated by the University of Texas since 1939, which houses some of the world's most powerful telescopes including the Hobby-Eberly Telescope. The observatory has made groundbreaking discoveries in astronomy and hosts thousands of visitors annually for its famous 'Star Parties' where people can view celestial objects through professional-grade telescopes.

DID YOU KNOW

Fort Davis sits at 5,050 feet above sea level, making it one of the highest towns in Texas and giving it a surprisingly cool climate with actual seasons. While most of Texas swelters in summer heat, Fort Davis residents often need jackets in July evenings, and the town occasionally receives snow in winter, creating a unique microclimate that feels more like Colorado than typical Texas.

CULTURAL

Fort Davis has become known as the 'Astronomy Capital of Texas' due to its incredibly clear, dark skies and the presence of McDonald Observatory. The entire community has embraced this identity by implementing strict light pollution ordinances, and local businesses often stay open late during astronomical events, creating a unique culture where residents and visitors gather to appreciate the cosmos together under some of the darkest skies in North America.
