Yes — most Freer 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 Freer today is 7.0¢ 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 Freer

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Discovering how much electricity you will consume monthly is the best way to find a deal on power in Freer. Why does this matter?

You see power providers advertising the “price per kWh” for an exact monthly usage (typically 2000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different calculation for how your monthly bill is determined, and your monthly bill will change according to how much electricity you use 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 saw when you enrolled.

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

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

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 find the ideal energy plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you instantly. What takes hours inside a spreadsheet is now done in a few moments.

We put you in the driver’s seat, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of plans and guide you step-by-step to the electricity plan that’s best for your home’s consumption.

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

We then assist you in ordering your plan with your chosen power company without leaving our service.

The bottom line is you must know your expected or historical usage before picking 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 picking 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 Freer: Setting up electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Freer, 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 your existing plan or possibly switching plans.

Switching electricity companies in Freer

Switching is good. Market conditions are always in flux, so it is essential to shop for a lower rate each year when your contract is about to expire.

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

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

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 provider will handle everything for you, including canceling service with your previous provider.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Freer 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 electricity companies. 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 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 providers 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 to break your existing contract.

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 rate.

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

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Freer was founded in 1906 and named after Dan Sullivan Freer, a prominent South Texas rancher and businessman who owned vast land holdings in the area. The town was established as a shipping point for cattle and agricultural products along the San Antonio, Uvalde and Gulf Railroad, serving as a crucial link between the ranching communities of South Texas and markets in San Antonio and Houston.

RECENT

In 2018, Freer experienced a significant economic boost when several oil and gas companies began new drilling operations in the Eagle Ford Shale formation near the city. This renewed energy activity has brought new jobs and increased tax revenue to the community, helping fund infrastructure improvements and municipal services after years of economic challenges.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music legend George Strait spent part of his childhood in nearby Pearsall but frequently visited Freer for rodeos and cattle auctions with his family. The King of Country Music has often spoken about how the authentic ranch culture of small South Texas towns like Freer influenced his musical style and cowboy persona that made him famous.

DID YOU KNOW

Freer is home to one of the last remaining original Harvey House restaurants from the famous Fred Harvey chain that served railroad travelers across the American West. The restored building, which operated from 1907 to 1948, still contains the original lunch counter, hand-painted ceiling tiles, and the massive coffee urns that once served thousands of passengers traveling between San Antonio and the Rio Grande Valley.

CULTURAL

Every September, Freer hosts the annual Rattlesnake Roundup, a unique festival that combines traditional South Texas ranch culture with wildlife education and conservation. The event features live rattlesnake demonstrations, cowboy poetry, authentic barbacoa cooking contests, and educational programs about the important role rattlesnakes play in controlling rodent populations on area ranches, drawing visitors from across Texas and Mexico.
