Yes — most Garrett 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 Garrett 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 Garrett

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Knowing how much energy you will use monthly is the best way to shop for electricity in Garrett. Why is this important?

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

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

Unless you match the exact advertised usage 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 shop for a power plan.

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

Even better, 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 determine your home’s ideal electricity rate plan.

Compare Power does all this math for you instantly. What could take you hours inside a spreadsheet is now solved in seconds.

We put you in the driver’s seat, 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 fine print, disclosing all fees, so you’ll know precisely where your money is going and what to expect on your monthly bill.

We then help you sign up with your chosen energy provider without leaving our service.

The bottom line is you must understand your expected or historical usage before ordering the best 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.

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 company 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 Garrett: Setting up electricity

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

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 Garrett

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

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

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Garrett 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 pick any date within 14 days of your contract expiration date without an “early cancellation” fee. 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 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’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 price.

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

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Garrett was founded in 1881 as a railroad town along the Houston and Texas Central Railroad line. The community was named after Robert Garrett, who served as president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and was instrumental in financing the railroad expansion through North Texas during the post-Civil War reconstruction era.

RECENT

In 2020, Garrett completed a major infrastructure improvement project that upgraded the city's water treatment facility and replaced aging water lines throughout the community. The $2.3 million project was funded through a combination of state grants and municipal bonds, ensuring reliable water service for the next 30 years.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music songwriter Red Lane, who penned hits like 'The World Needs a Melody' recorded by Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty, spent part of his childhood in Garrett during the 1940s. Lane went on to write over 400 songs and was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1993.

DID YOU KNOW

Garrett is home to one of the oldest continuously operating general stores in Ellis County, established in 1885 and still serving the community today. The store still features its original wooden floors, tin ceiling, and vintage cash register, and locals joke that you can buy everything from fishing bait to wedding rings under one roof.

CULTURAL

Every October, Garrett hosts the annual 'Pumpkin Days Festival' where residents compete in unusual contests including pumpkin bowling, seed spitting competitions, and the famous 'Great Pumpkin Weigh-Off.' The festival began in 1995 when a local farmer donated his entire pumpkin crop to the city, and it has grown into a regional attraction drawing visitors from across North Texas.
