Yes — most Frankston 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.

How to find the best energy plan in Frankston

#1 rule: Usage is key!

Understanding how much energy you will consume each month is the ideal way to shop for power in Frankston. Why is this so vital?

The rate you see energy companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).

Every plan has a different calculation for how your monthly bill is computed, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much energy you consume in the month.

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

Fortunately, there’s a better way to pick your energy company.

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

Better still, if you have a year 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 best way to determine the ideal 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 seconds.

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

We clarify the details, disclosing the various fees, so you’ll know precisely where your money is going and what to expect 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 must understand your expected or historical usage before picking the best electricity 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 shop for the best electricity plan for your**specific usage.

Moving to Frankston: Setting up electricity

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

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 length you decide on.

Switching electricity companies in Frankston

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

Your existing energy provider will typically raise your energy rate once your contract expires. If you do not 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 electricity providers.

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

Switching is easy:

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

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Frankston 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 within 14 days of your contract expiration date without an “early cancellation” penalty. That’s Texas Law.

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’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 cheapest rate.

You will want to find your past usage for the past 12 months to determine the best plan with the lowest rate for your household.

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Frankston was founded in 1902 when the Texas and New Orleans Railroad came through the area, establishing it as a timber town in the heart of the East Texas Piney Woods. The town was named after Frank Franks, a local landowner who donated land for the railroad depot, and it quickly became a major shipping point for lumber and agricultural products from the surrounding Anderson County countryside.

RECENT

In 2020, Frankston completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Main Street and added new sidewalks, period lighting, and landscaping. The project was funded through a combination of state grants and local fundraising efforts, bringing new life to the small town's commercial district and attracting several new businesses to the area.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music singer and songwriter Don Henley of the Eagles was born in nearby Gilmer but spent much of his childhood in the Frankston area, where his family had deep roots. Henley has often spoken about how the East Texas landscape and small-town culture influenced his songwriting, particularly on songs like 'The End of the Innocence' and his solo work celebrating rural American life.

DID YOU KNOW

Frankston sits on one of the largest underground freshwater aquifers in East Texas, the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer, which contains water that fell as rain over 50,000 years ago. The town's water wells tap into this ancient water source, which is so pure it requires minimal treatment, and local residents often joke that their tap water tastes better than most bottled water brands.

CULTURAL

Every October, Frankston hosts the annual 'Davey Dogwood Festival,' celebrating the area's abundant dogwood trees that bloom spectacularly each spring throughout the Piney Woods. The festival features a parade, live music, local crafts, and the crowning of the Dogwood Queen, drawing visitors from across East Texas who come to enjoy the small-town hospitality and celebrate the natural beauty of the region.
